Cables
Frequently Asked Questions
Do all cables support fast charging?
No. Fast charging requires cables specifically designed for high-power delivery.
What is the difference between USB-A and USB-C cables?
USB-C is more powerful, supporting much faster charging speeds and high-speed data transfer (photos, videos). USB-A is an older standard with lower power capacity, resulting in longer charging times and slower data transfer speeds.
Does cable length affect charging speed?
Yes. Longer cables increase electrical resistance, which can lead to a slight loss of power during charging.
Can I charge a laptop with a smartphone cable?
Yes, but only if the cable is rated for high power delivery (e.g., 60W or 100W).
What does the Wattage (W) rating on a cable mean?
This number indicates the maximum power output the cable is capable of carrying.
