Full details
The Robe Factory FX Nylon Braided USB Data Cable is for users needing a reliable and fast connection for their Type C devices. Its key benefit is supporting simultaneous fast syncing and charging, up to 20% faster than standard cables, alongside rapid 480Mbps data transfers. A potential caveat is its specific compatibility with USB 2.0 data transfer speeds, which may not be sufficient for extremely large file transfers requiring USB 3.0 or higher. This 1-meter cable in Space Grey offers enhanced durability through its nylon fiber wrapping, ensuring longevity for daily use.
