Full details
This SILVERLABEL Braided USB Type-C Cable is designed for users who need a durable and reliable cable for charging, syncing, and connecting their USB-C devices.

FAQs
What does 'durability tested to withstand up to 20,000 twists and pulls' mean?
This means the cable has undergone rigorous testing where it was repeatedly bent and pulled (simulating daily stress) 20,000 times without failure. This indicates a high level of resilience against common wear and tear.
Can this cable support fast charging?
Yes, the cable is designed to support fast charging technologies with compatible devices and power adapters. The actual charging speed will depend on the specifications of your connected devices and the power source.
Is this cable compatible with Apple devices?
If your Apple device uses a USB Type-C port (like newer MacBooks, iPads, or iPhones), then yes, this cable will be compatible for charging and data transfer.
What is the warranty period for this cable?
Please refer to the product packaging or the retailer's website for specific warranty information, as warranty terms can vary.
Can I use this cable for video output?
This cable is primarily designed for charging and data transfer. Video output capabilities (like DisplayPort Alt Mode over USB-C) depend on the specific standards supported by the cable and the connected devices, which is not detailed in the product description.
How do I clean the braided exterior?
You can gently wipe the braided exterior with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid using any harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Troubleshooting
Device not charging
Ensure both ends of the cable are securely connected. Try a different USB port or power adapter. Verify that the power source is active. Test with another USB-C cable if available.
Slow data transfer speeds
Confirm the USB port on your computer and device support the desired transfer speed. Ensure the cable is fully inserted into both ports. Try transferring files with a different USB-C cable to isolate the issue.
Cable feels stiff or less flexible
This is usually normal after extended use. Avoid forcing bends. Store the cable loosely coiled. If extreme stiffness occurs, it may indicate internal damage.
Connector is loose or damaged
Inspect the connector for visible damage. If damaged, discontinue use to prevent further harm to devices. Consider replacing the cable.
