I'm looking for the best USB type-c charging cable out their, what I want from it?

 

USB type-A to USB type-c 

USB 3.0 speeds

Braided Cable

Magnetic tip that stays in device (such as this

Fast Charging 

 

Ive looked around Amazon a bit and I have yet to find a product that has all of these features, if anyone knows where I can get a cable like this that would be amazing, thanks.

You can get rid of the last two requirements because of the following:

USB uses friction to stay in place and the wear item is supposed to be the cable. So if the cable has trouble staying in, replace the cable. Also the socket is typically not ferromagnetic anyway. That or it doesn't have enough material to make it worth while.

 

If you want a magnetic connection, you need to get one of those MagSafe-like adapters.

Fast Charging

This is mostly a feature of the charger, not the cable. However, length of cable can have an effect as well as the build quality of the cable itself. But as long as you're getting 1m cables, then you should be fine.

By magnetic tip I mean one that is permanently in the phone, the cable is magnetic to the tip so that the only unplugging is between the two magnets, one in the charging bay the other on the cable

 

This is the type of magnetic tip I am referring to:

As for the fast charging the reason I want to make sure it is supported is because some of the cables I have seen don't support it due to the way the magnetic tip works with the cable

I think that's more having to do with the power brick.

why not just

So you mean an adapter? Because that's really the only way you're going to get a magnetic connection with any USB cable. Unless it's a selling point of the device, no device is going to have any magnet, permanent or otherwise, and no cable is going to do the same, because again, USB is designed for friction to maintain contact and for the cable to the be wear item (at least for Mini, Micro, and Type C. I just found out Type A's springs are in the device connector).

Permanent magnetism has no effect on whether or not something charges fast or not. Otherwise MagSafe wouldn't work as it does. That's either an issue between poor contact of the adapter, the build quality of the cable, the charger, the device, or some other myriad of factors. But it's usually the cable.

Let me explain.There are cable where the male part of of the cable detaches and plugs into the charging port then the rest of the cable magnetically connect to the part that detaches

Yeah no I'm talking about an adapter, it has nothing to do with the Device in this case

I know that. I'm verifying what OP wants.  I'm not going to go on a rabbit chase under the wrong assumption.
