Has anyone tested any particular cables or adapters with this tablet.
Seems like all cables aren't created equal and some could be dangerous to the unit or adapter.
I'd like to have a spare apart from the one send with the tablet.
Thanks.

Someone reported here that they tested a fast charging setup, but didn't give details of the charger or the cable. The only danger is when trying to implement the Type C USB port charging functionality, such as charging in either direction and the higher optional current of 3A. Since the Type A to Type C cables fall back to USB 3.0 or USB 2.0, you don't have to worry about those types of cables or adaptors I think. The danger is the Type C to Type C cables, and I don't have an answer to that. Keep in mind we don't even know if the N1 itself is fully compliant with the Type C specs.

Our stock charger works well and all, but does anyone know of a USB C QC3 charger? I just want to be able to use C at both ends.

I thought only Type A was officially supported for QC 3.0?

No, this is incorrect.
Q6: Does it matter what type of charging cable is used with a Quick Charge adapter?
A: Quick Charge is designed to be connector-independent. Quick Charge can be implemented with a variety of formats, including USB Type-A, USB micro, USB Type-C, and other proprietary connectors.
Quick Charge high-voltage operation is designed to minimize charging issues associated with long or thin cables, allowing for a superior charging experience, independent of cable type.

The reason most cables/charges are A is backward compatibility with older devices and cables as only new USB-C devices will come with USB-C cables so it's easier to have A terminals on the end for the widest variety of accessory compatibility.

This is the one I have. It powers up to 24w but the 10 charges at quickcharge 2.0 speeds lol.

So since Quick Charge 3 isn't technically spec for USB C, none of the Benson Leung cables will ~actually~ charge at full Quick Charge speed, correct? Is there a consensus on the best quality cable that will charge at full speed, preferably USB 3.0/3.1? It looks like a lot of the cables with the 56k ohm resistor in it don't hit QC3 speed and I just don't want to fry my phone.
What's wrong with the cable that comes with the phone?
The one for the nexus 6p is the best I've used. I've used the lg G5 one but not the one that it comes with
The best cable is the one that comes with the phone...

The problem with the one that comes with the phone is it's only USB 2.0 I believe, and they're $20 cables. There's got to be better cables out there than that that are USB 3.0.
Here is the list with verified USB3.0 to type c cables.

I have two Xps laptops, and we have now two pixel 2's at the house all USB C.
Most chargers are 1 USB c port with multiple regular USB ports, and the Aukey that has two USB c ports failed spec.
Anyone know of any wall charger with multiple USB C ports?
This one has 2 C and 4 A ports. It gets good reviews.
Didn't see any others with more than the 2.

So that link is for an item with two different skus, which are actually 2 different charges with most of the reviews for the OG fast charge w/o the USB C.
Here is a youtube review of the one with USB C.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_K2kc5fHTk
It basically fails to fast charge the phone in the regular usb port.
That being said what i am most afraid of is the USB C port always being on. Which is a problem, because with phones such as the pixel that now use the USB C port as a headphone jack, if the USB C port is always on, on the charger, and the pixel thinks it's a headphone connection port it can cause the phone to get damaged.
Being that the charger failed basic charging specs it claims, i doubt the charger is USB c spec. Thank you for the suggestion doh
I suggest avoiding this product doh

That's unfortunate. Ah the growing pains of being early adopters of USB-C. Still reminds me of the early days of HDMI. Lot of misinformation and improperly speced items. eventually it all smooths out.
I'm looking for a longer cable ( maybe not white) that can still charge at 33W using the included charger but i'm really confused.
It seems that the provided cable is only usb 2.0 (like the phone) but has an extra pin in the ground position in the usb3.0 layout. That pin is probably used to communicate to the provided charger (CC pin in the type C port for standard Type C to Type C PD cables) following the power delivery specifications.
Are common usb3.1 A to C cables fully compatible with the charger or i'm forced to buy a new charger too? Anyone that has already bought a cable has some advice?

The cable just need to be 3A to delivery 11V/33W.
I bought this: Orico B2-ACA01 and works like stock Xiaomi cable (appers Mi Turbo Charge on screen).
My older cable Orico HTF-10 is just 2.4A and can't achive 33W.
Well, there is another options to buy: Baseus, Blitzwolf, Anker. Look about amperes, need to be more than 3A and deliveries 33W or higher.
I can use none google usb cable to charge pixel6pro but I cannot charge oneplus8pro by google usb cable.
Is there any secret on google usb cable ? Will it is clue to brick pixel6pro if using none google usb cable ?
You can use any quality cable. The only other brand other than an OEM cable that I trust is Anker, although I've gotten lucky with some (now discontinued) random name brands.

It is the OnePlus cable isn't a standard USB cable it is a propitiatory standard, that said any good quality cable should still charge the OnePlus phone but only at 15W (if memory serves).
Anker all the way for me as well, i cannot remember the last time i used the cable that came with a phone.
As mentioned by @MrBelter it's the OnePlus cable that's the issue.
I've had this cable for about 4 years (see link), and used it on the Pixel 2 XL, Pixel 4 XL, and Samsung Galaxy S21 with no issues...still using the same came on my P6P.

OnePlus either uses firmware within the USB connector, or a specific resistance value to determine if the cable is an OP cable and it's likely they do so to limit legal liability from users who unintentionally try to push 3A - 5A through a cable not designed to handle current that high.
Folks have unintentionally used shoddy USB cables to charge a smartphone that resulted in the death of the user.
When folks speak about a "quality" cable, it's referring to the wire gauge of the cable, as it's the gauge of the wire that dictates how much current can safely pass through the wire without causing it to overheat from the high resistance caused by pushing more current through the cable than the cable is designed to carry.
A quality manufacturer will list the gauge of the wires within a USB cable and if a listing doesn't have the wire gauge listed, my rule of thumb is it can handle no more than 10W (5V @ 2A). MonoPrice is a well known manufacturer of quality cables and they lifetime guarantee all their cables with a no-hassle lifetime warranty.
