Does anyone have a 3rd party charger and/or cable that will work with the TF?
I am also interested in finding that question out. I move around alot, and would like to have an extra charging cable.
Would the cable for the iphone/ipad work?

No Apple cable will work on this device. The Transformer has a proprietary charger interface, so the cable would have to be made specifically for this device.
Similarly, all Apple product chargers use their own proprietary interfaces, so chargers made for iPhones or iPads will only be made to work with iPhones or iPads, not other devices.
And the funny part is that someone responded...

Haha, no iPhone cable would not work with Asus. Last I checked, Asus cable was proprietary as well.
Wait a little, soon someone's gonna dismantle one and they will be anywhere (monoprice, ebay)... (i guess(hope), the apple cable actually is everywhere even if it is proprietary...)

cable no, but the ipad charger itself is 5v 2A. Has anyone tried one, if it works may provide an easy solution for car charger.
I would love an additional cable. I'm going on a trip and I could just see me losing the one and only way to charge the Transformer. Stupid proprietary cables. I still love my Asus Transformer, but we need uniformity.

It is a different size entirely. If you would like me to post a picture I suppose I could, but unless you're going to take a crow bar to your TF to wedge it in and hope the pins magically match, you're SOL. Sorry.
I think he meant the wall charger (the one you plug the usb ipod cable in...)

I believe they're just referring to the charger itself not the apple sync cable. And no that isn't likely to work as the ASUS charger gives out 15V/1.2A on one of the pins unique to USB3
The 6ft USB 3 Male/Female extension cable is now back in stock on monoprice. For those that haven't been reading up, this is essentially an extension to charge your Transformer since the extra pins in USB 3 are used for power.

Any car charger in the market? Off topic but optimumwifi is getting 6mbps down, 10mbps up on this baby.
Bumping this thread. I find it hard to believe (or at least surprising) that this has been out 3 months now and I still can't find any third party replacement cables and/or 15v chargers. Paying $25 for a factory one is simply not something I can do, it just makes me sick to my stomach.
The most important thing I would like to find is the cable. I did buy a monoprice USB extension cable, which at least makes using the device while charging possible - but it is no solution in the case of this factory cable breaking in any way. I always like to have an extra charging cable on hand, and usually pay $1.99 or less for such things for my other phones and tablets.
need cables
@brunes
I agree with you. This reminds me too much of the original asus eee pc. There were no additional chargers nor expansion ssd (mini pcie) available for months. People were coming up with all sorts of work around ideas. Argh.
The idea of not having a replacement cable and charger does make me very uncomfortable. This is really unacceptable, and I hope Asus fixes it immediately.
I have to think about a post I read: just buy a second one and immediately return it with the bad charger if yours goes bad. This seems to screw the retailer, but hopefully Asus covers their cost in these cases.
In any case, it is a bad problem. I wrote my newegg review to exactly highlight this problem.
Not having a replacement cable is not a very comfortable feeling.
Anyway, an iPad charger does work for the tablet. I don't have a dock so no way to test it.
However, I noticed that using an iPad charger, theTF does not chnage the battery icon to charging and it charges a bit slower.

It is charging at 5V. I assume using diodes to charge the cells in parallel instead of series without causing a short. Only other explanation is ASUS put DC-DC regulator in to ramp up the 5V. Only works while off or asleep and is sloooooowww...took me 8 hrs to get 22% charge on 5V USB.
a rabbit just chewed up my new transformer's cable
i emailed asus, but from my googling it looks like i'll have to spend about $40 ordering a replacement cable from a random retailer. sucks!
Check the DIY charger thread link in my signature. With 2 off the shelf parts you can have another charger for under $15.
So, I bought this on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GJCYGDU
And honestly, while it's a decent enough charging plate for wireless charging, what they don't tell you is that it's not a micro-USB connection. I cited that in my review on Amazon and the company's response was that I could always buy a cheap longer cable should I need one. With so many other choices, I don't think I'd buy this again. It suits my purpose but at this point, I'm of two minds whether or not to return it and see if I can't find something with a micro-USB connection.
Pros:
Lots of colors
Cons:
No micro-USB connection
Not the cheapest of them out there
No indicator light when charging, no way to know if it's charging except by looking at your phone
I got the "Yellow/Mango" colored one. I think that's what drew me to the unit, the fact that they had so many different colors available, yet the trade off of no micro-USB connection is not compelling enough.
Cool colors. And I can see where it could be a problem for other that it comes with a short cable. But for me that's nothing. I citjd extend cables all the time.

No, the cable isn't short, it's not micro-USB compatible on the end that connects to the charging plate.
There are plenty of charging plates out there and for this one to have a "standard" charging connection makes it not usable if you lose the original cord or if the original cord is too short. I am returning this one for another one that has a micro-USB connection at the plate.

I've added the following to my wishlist...
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00G9W7PYW/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl
It comes with two lengths of micro-USB-compatible cables. Once I process the other one through return, I'll buy this one.
Another thing to note is it comes with a 1a ac adapter, and in the description it tells you to use it with a 2a for best compatability. You'll only be charging at around 500ma I bet because of the loss at each step. I wouldn't give this place my money
Any suggestions? I would like one that has turbo charge like the wall charger if possible. Thanks

I got the one Verizon sells (red connector with flash light). I love it, charges just as fast as the wall Turbo charger. I picked it because I get 25% off accessories. The tech you are looking for is QuickCharge 2.0

Well a couple of days ago I was on my way home from work and I was at around 30% on my Nexus. Out of curiosity I plugged the phone into a 2A Anker charger (which worked really well with my M8... 1%/min) and it said it would be fully charged in about 2 hours. I then plugged the phone into the PowerMod Quick Charge charger and it said it would be fully charged in about 50 something minutes. So I would say pretty well! My phone was fully charged by the time I got home (my commute is about an hour 15 minutes).

I have the Incipio QC 2.0 car charger, it works as intended for QC 2.0. I had the PowerMod one, but it was a little loose in my car outlet so it would lose power sometimes if you bumped it accidentally. There's another OP about car chargers which I meant to post pictures of my charger in. The nice part about the Incipio is it has a USB port so you can use your own cable. I tried the VZW which was nice, but I don't like chargers where I can't replace the cable if/when it wears out. The VZW one is also 35$ compared to $21 for the Incipio on Amazon with Prime shipping (thats what I paid for it) and you get a nice coiled cable for a good deal on there and still have money left over compared to the VZW one.
I originally had the Incipio car charger, but I had to return it because it didn't work in my car's charging port, for some reason (it worked in another car, so not sure). Also, The Incipio one was too large, as I'm used to slim car chargers that barely stick out. And while it's not a big deal, the Incipio one didn't come with a microUSB cable.
After a bit of searching, I found the Ventev Dashport Q1200. It's a little hard to find right now, but here's a listing on Amazon. From what I could see, this one was the only QC 2.0 compatible car charger that was also slim. It also came with a flat ribbon-style microUSB cable.

All official legit Quick Charge 2.0 chargers do 12/9/5volts. As long as it's listed on Qualcomm's website, it offers the best charging.
Bottom of page, Incipio is listed.

I rarely use included cables. I have extended cables that i route around the dash and a-pillar for a cleaner look. and the cost is comparable to other QuickCharge 2.0 car chargers.

I have this charger and I love it. It's very small and the cable is solid. Seems to charge my phone quickly.
I bought this today. I actually already have one and it's great:

Can anyone recommend some good USB C charging / sync cables please.
Could do with a multipack with some different lengths for home, car and desk.
Many thanks.
Anker make great cables, I would definitely recommend them, they're usually braided and sturdy.
sning, is Dash Charge important for you? Do you want cable with Dash Charge or normal ones will do fine?

It would be nice if they did, but it isn't a deal breaker if they don't
Even if they are USB 2.0, I don't think there are many alternatives that can beat AmazonBasics' quality/price. They are currently at 6.29€/90cm and 9.29€/270cm in Germany.
Although, looking carefully, seems that Anker has the same prices, at least for the black version..
I picked up a couple of Anker and Orzly cables, haven't gone wrong with them yet.
Can recommend Aukey cables. Bundles available at amazon. Dash charge not tested yet.
I try this one and it doesn't work with dash charger

Been using this - http://www.amazon.in/Baseus-Macbook-Mobile-Output-Silver/dp/B016RNXFRS for my Nexus 6P for a year. Now using it for my Oneplus 5.
Just check AliExpress . You can buy official dash charger cables at a much lower price. 100cm and 150cm. The actual charger is a different story though.

How authentic/genuine are the dash chargers and cables from ali express? they look legit but I dont want to risk my device....prices are fantastic for the cables though
Not USB cable related - however I bought a Wireless charger and receiver for my OP3 (which I will be using on my OP5) Works an absolute treat! Not as fast as the DASH charge, however always nice just to plonk your phone on the wireless charger, and let it do it's job.

+1 for Anker.
Bought a good few and they all look pretty good.
Keep in mind that, most likely, DASH charge won't work with any cable other than the original ones.
Or, at least, that failed for me with all the ones I tried so far.
if you want dash charging, you'll need to buy the 'official' cables from OnePlus unfortunately, though you can get them from other sellers
There are a lot of decent priced supposedly dash capable cables on Amazon with prime shipping right now. I'd check those out and try first. Amazon has great customer service if by chance they don't work.
Anker has the best cables after the original but I would stick with the original because red is sweet
I personally recommend BlitzWolf's cables. I bought several of them at banggood.com 3 months ago and they are truly excellent! I bought the 2m cable, but they have other lengths as well. They all work flawlessly.
No DASH charge of course, but I do not care.
I got a pack of five from a company called rophie on amazon. All different lengths too, very useful actually!
Blitz wolf makes nice cables
This is my first USB C device so I don't have a lot of information if I should be just purchasing random USB C cords on Amazon to charge my OP6T at work. Any suggestions or information on what type of cord I should get would be helpful. I would like to purchase 2-3 cords in different lengths if possible (one for work as mentioned, one for the car, and one for my battery pack).
USB c has been out long enough to trust the reviews of them on Amazon. Just check the ratings and read some of the reviews
I'll put in a high vote for anything Anker.

I have a USB-A--> USB-C cable from Anker. Definitely can't complain.
I have been using the Aukey cables without any issues so far. Get the longer ones for data and the shorter ones if you are only using it for charging.
I've had a couple that worked fine elsewhere but would not dash (yeah I now they lost the right to use that name) charge my OnePlus devices, I'd read the reviews and make sure you're ordering something that's going to leverage your charger. I've got a couple older OnePlus cables in the drawer which I'm assuming will work but I cant prove it until the 6th.
If you want fast charge you have to use the originals. If you want spares you can get some in AliExpress for a reasonable-ish price.
If you want cables to use with batteries or don't care about fast charge, I find that TOPK cables are pretty good, cheap too. They usually come in several colours, have cord and are pretty flexible.
An engineer at Google, Benson Leung, took it upon himself to test many cables for standards compliance. I cannot get his site to load, but I found this article that lists some of his approved cables. http://buyandroidchargers.com/list-of-benson-leungs-usb-c-google-engineer-usb-c/
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00S8GU544/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_dkTJBbN069J3Z
Based on the recommendation here https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/accessories/ordinary-usb-cables-support-dash-t3838411
I wanted a longer cable to plug into my computer, as well as a couple of additional cables to charge at work and in my car. I am also purchasing the OPPO charger for work as well, since it can be had cheaper than the OnePlus wall wart.
These are replacing worn out and slower type C cables.
I thought if you want fast charge you have to use the charger. The cable can be any quality cable

AFAIK USB type A side has additional pins for DASH/Fast Charge. That's why it won't work on any other cables.

I was going to say, I haven't had a look see for a while but this morning I hit Amazon and there are a number of cables that work with dash charge according to the reviews. Some that don't, also according to the reviews. My big takeaway was half the price of the official goods so I went ahead and ordered the same one the fellow above me linked because it's the first one I ran into that was 6 ft instead of a meter. Glad to here someone got there first and it worked: Amazon reviews are good but I have more faith in a thumbs up from a fellow phone person.
Anker all the way.

Can you link a fast charge cord or adapters from AliExpress? I swear I never know what's fake on that website. I've ordered a few things from them before but only on smaller purchases.
I ordered one from Amazon .. it comes from shenzen China. Where most electronics are made in China..
It's literally a official OP cable but packaged in a generic box.
I tested and it works for dash charge..
It's exactly the same except it says dash on the tip .
And it was under $7
I'll post a link of anyone shows interest

I asked my friend in Asia to buy me some Oppo chargers and OP 1.5m dash cable. It costs around $3 for the Oppo charger and $4 for the cable. Also bought the dash car charger for under $10.
