High Output USB-C to USB-C PD-Enabled Charging Cable
Despite the troubled online Switch 2 preorder fiasco, my father was able to help me to snag a preorder from GameStop the following day. After the release on June 5, 2025, he mailed it to me, and I waited patiently for FedEx to deliver the new system. In addition to the excitement of the console’s release, I looked forward to evaluating third-party accessories, like those from Snakebyte. It may seem silly, but I enjoy testing cables, power output, and durability before adding them to my on-the-go setup.
Packaging:
The Snakebyte Fast Charging Cable S2 arrived in a 3 3/8 inches wide by 5 7/8 inches tall by 1 inch thick hanging-style retail package. The cover panel listed the company name/logo at the top left, product name along the top right, and large Nintendo Switch 2 logo along the bottom left of the panel. I liked the dark blue/black gradient style color scheme and the orange accents within the title and lower edge/panel. The white font contrasted nicely against the dark background, while the lighter colored center section highlighted the USB-C cable. The cover panel did a good job at portraying the cable, the snake logo, and provided information about the 100 W PD charging capacity.
The right side panel listed the company name/logo at the top, the Fast Charging Cable S2 name along the bottom, and a side-view of the neck/prong segment of the cable. The left side panel provided the same company name/logo at the panel’s top, but also listed the “For Nintendo Switch 2” logo. The mid segment provided eleven product manufacturing labels before delivering the product name, and a UPC barcode. The rear panel provided a labeled image of the charging cable and utilized the same gradient-style as the cover. The cable promised 100W fast charging, metal housing, braided nylon cable, and a 2-meter length. For added convenience, the panel provided the information in French and German. Lastly, the panel provided the necessary manufacturer information, address, and trademarks.
Unboxing:
I lifted the top panel, slid the 2.4-ounce cable out of the cardboard shell, and evaluated the device. Each of the metallic prongs measured 1/4 inch tall by 5/16 inches wide by 1/16 inches thick and attached to a 15/32 inches long by 1/4 inches wide by 9/16 inches tall, oval-shaped, black-plastic neck segment. I gripped the neck segment and metallic prongs and wiggled the sections forward and backwards 50 times. I also inserted/removed each prong from a standard USB-C wall charger 100 times. Even though it seemed that the black collar could slide away from the cable, I was pleased to find that it remained securely affixed. I bent the neck segment, tugged on the cable section, and found that the prong, collar, and neck segments were well designed and quite resilient. Additionally, I liked that each neck collar segment had an attractive white-colored snakebyte logo. However, I would have liked for the logo imprint to dwell on the collar’s backside as well.
Beneath the collar segment, the 1 1/8 inches tall rubberized neck segment tapered down to 1/4 inches diameter, to 3/16 inches diameter, and then connected to the 1/8 inches diameter, braided, black-colored nylon cable. I unhooked the 1/2 inches wide by 4-inches long hook-loop style cable strap and found the cable measured 80-inches long (dual 1 7/8 inches long USB-C end/neck segments, and 78.25 inches long cable). Despite shipping tightly coiled, the cable did not have any type of memory when released from the hook-loop connector. To test the power output, I paired the cable with the snakebyte Power Charge S2 (Review to follow) and compared it with the included Nintendo Switch 2 charger.
Testing:
I plugged the Snakebyte Power Charge S2 into a standard wall outlet, a Klein Tools multimeter into the USB-C port, and then the USB-C cable between my iPad Pro 13” and multimeter (15.07V/1.67A). I moved the cable to my iPhone 16 Pro Max (15.07V/1.7A), to my MacBook Pro 15” (20.07V/0.77A) [Very Slow], and then to my fully depleted Nintendo Switch 1 (15.07V/0.21A). The switch displayed a depleted/charging battery icon at the top left while charging at the slower rate for about ten minutes before increasing to 15.07V/0.47A, and ultimately to 15.07V/0.93A once the system/screen powered on. The Switch 1 started at 1% at 9:56 PM and increased to 8% by 10:05 PM (15.07V/1.07A), to 15% by 10:15 PM (15.06V/1.09A), to 55% by 11:10 PM (15.07V/0.78A), to 80% by 11:57 PM (15:07V/0.45A). It was fully charged when I checked again at 1:15 AM.
I began setting up my Switch 2 and tried to use the snakebyte charge S2 and power cable. When I plugged the USB-C cable into the Switch 2, the multimeter displayed 15.0V/1.19A. Starting at 70% at 8:22 PM, the Switch 2 increased to 72% by 8:25 PM. As I attempted to transfer the data from my Switch 1 to Switch 2, I had to perform a system update for the Switch 1. Both the Switch 1 and Switch 2 requested AC adapter power before the transfer could proceed. The Snakebyte charger did not work for the transfer process, but the cable functioned well. I received an error “Please Connect an AC adapter to start receiving data.” I used the much larger Nintendo Switch 2 Adapter (1 7/8 inches long by 1 1/2 inches wide by 1 13/16 inches tall) and was able to use the Snakebyte charging cable (14.87V/1.22A) without issue. I plugged a UGREEN 160W multi-USB hub into a power outlet and then the accessory cable that shipped with the Snakebyte Charge S2 between the UGREEN adapter and Switch 1. Once the transfer was completed, I transferred the cable to the dock and was able to enjoy TV/docked mode with the cable.
Conclusion:
I was pleased with the packaging, presentation, product design, USB-C prongs, braided cable, and power supply. If you are looking for an inexpensive 100W power cable for your Switch 2, consider the Snakebyte Fast Charging Cable S2.
