Monoprice is known for offering great deals on cables and other electronics accessories, and that includes Type-C cables. The company previously launched the "Select Series" Type-C cables, and now it has started selling an even cheaper (and more colorful) series called Palette priced from $3.99 to $5.99.

While Google's unofficial Type-C Czar Benson Leung has not weighed in on the Palette Series, he did give the Select Series five stars. We can only assume these cables are similarly spec-compliant. They come in C-to-C, C-to-A, and C-to-microB varieties. The shortest cables are 6-inches (the $3.99 ones) and the longest are 6-feet ($5.99). They also come in a variety of colors, thus "Palette Series." They all have braided nylon sleeves as well.

These are all USB 2.0 cables, but Monoprice intends to expand the Palette Series to include USB 3.0 cables later this month. Those ones will be priced from $4.99 to $9.99. These prices are all a few bucks cheaper than comparable cables on Amazon, plus Monoprice has bulk pricing discounts.
