Product Information

Full details

This kenable BRAIDED USB C cable is designed for users needing a durable and reliable connection for charging and data transfer on modern devices. Its key benefit is supporting 3Amp fast charging (up to 18W) thanks to high-grade copper wiring and a safety resistor, ensuring efficient power delivery. A potential caveat is that while it supports fast charging, actual speeds depend on the power adapter and device capabilities.

FAQs

What is the maximum power output this cable supports?

This cable supports up to 18 Watts (3 Amp) fast charging, provided both the power adapter and the connected device are compatible with this charging standard.

Is this cable compatible with Apple devices?

Yes, it is compatible with Apple devices that feature a USB Type-C port, such as newer iPads and some MacBook models. For iPhones, you would typically need a USB-C to Lightning cable, or if using a USB-A charger, this cable would connect to the charger and a USB-C to Lightning adapter on the iPhone side.

Can I use this cable for fast data transfer?

The cable is designed for data transfer using the USB 3.0 A Type connection standard. While it supports data transfer, specific maximum data transfer speeds are not explicitly stated beyond the connection type.

What does the 56k Ohm resistor do?

The 56k Ohm resistor is a safety feature that helps the power supply and the device communicate to determine the correct and safe amount of power to transfer, preventing the device from drawing more power than the supply can safely provide.

How durable is the nylon braiding?

The heavy-duty nylon braiding is designed to withstand everyday wear and tear, offering increased resistance to fraying, tangling, and abrasion compared to standard rubber or plastic coated cables, thereby prolonging its lifespan.

What devices can I use this cable with?

You can use this cable with any device that has a USB Type-C port, including most modern smartphones (Android, etc.), tablets, iPads, laptops, and gaming consoles like the Nintendo Switch.

What is the length of the cable?

This specific model is 2 meters (approximately 6.5 feet) long.

Troubleshooting

Cable not charging device

Ensure both the USB-A connector is fully inserted into the power source and the USB-C connector is fully inserted into the device. Verify the power adapter is functional and providing sufficient power. Try a different USB port or power adapter.

Slow charging speeds

Confirm that your power adapter supports fast charging (e.g., Quick Charge) and that the device itself is capable of fast charging. Ensure the cable is securely connected at both ends. Some devices and chargers negotiate speeds; ensure they are compatible.

Data transfer not working

Check that the USB-A port on your computer or host device is functioning correctly. Ensure the USB-C connector is fully seated in your device. Try reconnecting the cable or using a different USB port.

Cable feels loose or wobbly

Inspect the connectors for any debris or damage. Ensure the cable is fully inserted. If the connectors appear damaged, the cable may need to be replaced.
