USB-C cable for fast charging MacBook Pro
I notice there are different watts of USB-C to USB-C cables. What is recommended for replacing the cable I broke (!) for my 2018 15" MacBook Pro?
Thanks

The Technical Specifications for that MacBook Pro say that it comes with an 87 watt USB-C power adapter, so I'd suggest a cable rated for at least that much power.

That Mac came out when the USB Power Delivery specification limited charging power to 100 watts. While there is a newer version of USB Power Delivery that allows charging at up to 240 watts, your MBP would not be able to take advantage of it. So any decent-quality USB-C cable rated to support 100 watts and USB Power Delivery should do.
