What is the best 6’ charge cable for apple i-pad 3rd.

An iPad Air 3rd Generation has a Lightning connector.

I recommend and use Amazon Basics braided cable and it works incredibly well. Super resistant and long lasting. Mine is going now on around 4 to 5 years old and still works perfectly: Amazon Basics Braided 6ft USB Lightning Cable - Amazon.com

If you have a USB-C charger instead look for a USB-C instead of USB-A Lightning cable.

iPad 3rd what?

There's 5 different iPads with the "third" generation identifier. Depending on the exact model is the cable you need.

Please provide the exact model of your iPad. Link-> Identify your iPad model - Apple Support

Either of the cables I linked to above will work depending on the type of charger block you want to use.

iPad 3rd what?

Lots of iPads with 3rd generation in their names now.

Here are my questions to you.

What year and model iPad do you have/own?

The “A” model number can be found on the aluminium back of your iPad, in small print, right under the larger bold print “iPad”.

Thank You.

All righty

I am done waiting.

Any cable made by Belkin or Anker electronics is a very good power/charging cable.

You can find these on Amazon

Also, Amazon Basics makes good quality cables that are very good, as well.

Thick cables and/or braided style cables are better cables too search/look for, also.

I believe Belkin, Anker and Amazon makes these style of cables, as well.

Best of Luck to You!

OP mentioned "third" not 4th. And even a 4th generation is open for further clarification.

Due to inadequate model information, my reply was (is) intended to be model agnostic.

like the 2019, 3rd gen iPad Air?

Still waiting for your response, please?

Do you own a 2019 iPad Air 3rd gen ( iPad Air 3 )?

“Best” is a very subjective term.

Presuming that you refer to an iPad Air4 or recent iPad Pro, you should be looking for a USB-C to USB-C cable - preferably MFI Certified - capable of carrying at least 3A. As such, you would be wise to select cable from reputable manufacturer. Apple cables tend to be relatively expensive; some high quality third-party manufacturer’s cables tend to be more robust.

Here are the 2m cables directly marketed by Apple:

Apple USB-C Charge Cable (2m)

You might consider other alternatives, such as Anker. You should perhaps note that USB-C cables are not all the same making direct comparison difficult; supported USB services will vary by the included wiring.

The Apple cable supports basic data and USB PD charging - whereas the described Zagg cable is very high specification.

Other models of iPad use Lightning ports - and will require a cable to match. These models of iPad are supplied with USB Power Adapters that feature a standard USB Type-A cable. Apple markets these 2m cables:
