Troubleshooting
Device not recognized or not charging
Ensure both ends of the cable are securely plugged in. Try a different USB-A port on your host device. Verify that the USB-C device and the host device's ports are clean. Test with another known working USB-C cable to rule out device issues.
Slow data transfer speeds
Confirm that both the USB-A port on the host device and the USB-C port on the target device support USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) or higher. Ensure the connected device is functioning correctly and not limited by its own internal hardware. Avoid using the cable through unpowered USB hubs if possible.
Cable is physically damaged
Inspect the cable for any visible signs of damage, such as cuts, fraying, or bent pins. If damage is found, discontinue use immediately to prevent further damage or potential safety hazards. Replace the cable if damaged.
