The short version
The Anker Prime A88E2 is a 3-foot upcycled-braided USB-C cable certified by the USB-IF for 240 W charging. Anker says it can charge a 16-inch MacBook Pro to half in 26 minutes and is built to hold 220 pounds. It is a charging cable, though, with data limited to USB 2.0's 480 Mbps and no video, so docks and displays need a different cable.

Common questions
Can this cable connect a monitor or dock?
No. It is certified as a USB 2.0 cable at 480 Mbps with 240 W charging, so it carries no video and will not run a dock at full speed.
Does it actually charge at 240 W?
Anker rates it for 240 W, but the charger and device must both support that level. Anker's example is a 16-inch MacBook Pro reaching half charge in 26 minutes.
