FAQs

What is the maximum wattage this cable supports?

This cable supports up to 18 Watts of power delivery, making it suitable for many fast charging devices.

Can I use this cable for data transfer?

Yes, the cable is designed for both charging and data transfer.

Is this cable compatible with my iPhone?

This is a USB-A to USB-C cable. It can be used with iPhones that have a USB-C port (e.g., newer iPad models) or an iPhone with a Lightning port if you are using a USB-C power adapter and a USB-C to Lightning cable. For charging older iPhones or iPads with a Lightning port, you would need a USB-A to Lightning cable.

Why does it have a 56k Ohm resistor?

The 56k Ohm resistor ensures safe power negotiation between the charger and the device, preventing the device from drawing more power than the charger can safely supply. This protects both the device and the charger.

How long is the cable?

This specific model is 0.5 meters (approximately 1.6 feet) in length.

What makes the nylon braid durable?

The heavy-duty nylon braiding protects the internal wires from friction, kinks, and stretching, significantly increasing the cable's resistance to wear and tear compared to standard plastic-coated cables.

Will this cable work with a Nintendo Switch?

Yes, the USB-C connector is compatible with the Nintendo Switch for charging and data transfer.

Troubleshooting

Device not charging or charging slowly

Ensure the USB-A end is securely plugged into the power source and the Type-C end is fully inserted into the device. Try a different power adapter or USB port. Verify that both the power adapter and the device support fast charging if you expect faster speeds.

Data transfer not working

Confirm that the USB port on your computer supports data transfer. Try a different USB port or computer. Ensure the cable is properly seated in both the device and the computer. Check your device's settings to ensure USB data transfer is enabled.

Cable feels warm during charging

Some warmth is normal during fast charging. If the cable becomes excessively hot, disconnect immediately and try a different cable or power adapter. This could indicate an issue with the power supply or the device.
