New Charger

[MtnbikerChk]

I used to order cables from Monoprice (and I've never had a problem) but I've recently become aware of how crucial it is to be careful with usb type C cables.

I do really like the fast charging with the cable that came with my 5x. What fast charging cables/adapters are safe to use?
Thanks!

There are two spreadsheets that I go by, produced by trusted testers dedicated to making sure USB-C cables and chargers are safe and compliant:

1. Nexus 5X/6P USB-C Cables, Chargers, and Accessories
2. Google Pixel Phone - Suggested Peripherals

The first is specifically for Nexus devices, but hasn't been updated in a year.

The second is optimized for Pixels, but most of the same data applies. It continues to be regularly updated.

Awesome thanx!!

I live in Mexico so I don't have the choice of cables and chargers that are available in the U.S. and, presumably, in Europe. I use my old chargers and they work fine but do not give fast charging. A couple of my older chargers got quite warm charging my Nexus 5x so I gave them to friends. I bought a couple of new 3.0 amp chargers and they seem to work as well as the charger that came with my Nexus 5x. I use cables rate USB 3.0 and 3.1 and haven't had any problems.

I still have a couple of old chargers and USB micro cables for charging my Kindles.
