Read the specs before buying a charging-data transfer cable. If it says 480 transfer speed, that is crawling. Also notice or ask what the wattage the cable will handle. For example: Why are these cables 2 for $9.00 when others are up to $25? Answer is speed, watts and data transfer. These are rated at only 15 watts max, which is NOT fast charging. Even the Samsung stock chargers are 25 watts and not true fast chargers. Or the 45 watt fast charger. Cable has to match charger in order to work. For example, I have a 5amp cable, capable of up to 100 watts and a 65 watt wall charger. The cable is capable or carrying full 65 watts to the battery and charges phone to full in 1hr. Same 65 watt charger with this only capable of 15watt cable? Well, you get the idea. Cable will only allow 15watts which makes charge time 2 hours with ANY charger 15 watt or higher. Another thing which happens is most high speed chargers 45-65 watt advertised, will push high watts only for first 1/2 charge cycle. Then they throttle back to 25 watts and 7 watts in the last 1/4 of full charge. So if you monitor a charging cycle, know about the throttling effect. So a Samsung 45watt fast charger, stock 25watt charger and 15 watt desktop model will take exactly 2 hours no matter what to charge my Note 10 plus from 10-100% charge. All in the throttling. Fast chargers and cables only are effective when you need to quickly bring your phone to 50%, then the throttle begins. Have only found 1 charger out of 1 which carries full 65 watts all the way thru charge cycle. 1hr full charge with no heatup. It is a desk 3 port with 6ft power cord. Not a cube for travel, which throttle down. This one has 65 watt USB C port#1, 25 watt USB C port #2 and old style USB A 15 watt port#3. That is nice as I can charge any device with cable that is old USB A on one end. I use that as primary charging unit and leave 3 short 6" cables plugged into 3 ports. If I need phone quickly charged, port #1 65 watts straight thru. Or port #2 USBC for Samsung earbuds. And USB A port#3 for older devices with micro usb connectors. All in the cable and charging unit. These Askers are extremely slow @ 15 watts, then throttling back with slow transfer rates for data between devices. Returning and purchased the Anker 6ft 5amp version which will handle higher watt chargers and much faster data trans speeds. These would suffice if time is not a factor. Anker makes good products. However, these are definitely NOT fast charger cables @ 15 watts. All in the price
