Baseus USB-C Cable with 90° Elbow now available in longer length

Baseus has released a new, longer version of its USB-C Cable with 90° Elbow in North America and Europe. The original 3.3 ft/1 m long cable, launched in December 2024, was marketed as an accessory for mobile gaming and e-sports due to its angled design.

Recently, Baseus has released a version that is twice as long. You can buy the Baseus USB-C Cable with 90° Elbow (6.6 ft/2 m) at Amazon in the US for $18.99 or in European countries like the Netherlands, France and Germany for €12.99. This makes it slightly more expensive than the shorter 3.3 ft/1 m variant, which retails for $15.99/€9.99.

This longer version of the USB-C Cable with 90° Elbow offers the same 100W fast charging as the original. However, it is worth noting that data transfer speeds are limited to 480 Mbps, as before. There are low temperature controls, with a trickle mode automatically activated when a device reaches 80% battery to prevent overheating. Another safety feature is the e-marker chip, which automatically detects the voltage and current of the connected device.

Baseus indicates that the connectors are reinforced to withstand bends, and the edges are rounded for a comfier grip. One possible design flaw is that the long connector base could obscure speakers on some devices. The cable has a high-density nylon braided outer making it wear-resistant, but customers of the first cable note that this makes it stiff to start with. Whether or when this accessory could officially launch in the UK is unclear.
