USB Type C Cable

LShaddolf on 20/03/2019 - 22:12

I recently picked up an s10, being my first usb type c product. As such I currently only have the one cable to charge/transfer with.

So I'm basically after the cheapest cable that is of at least middle ground of quality and is capable of supporting fast charge.

Any brands I should aim for or avoid?

Thanks!

baseus is apparently a decent brand joybuy are having a deal at the moment

though, if you still have microusb cables/ charger then why not get a microusb-to-usbC adapter like this 2 pack for ~AU$1.50 delivered from aliexpress

there are cheaper deals but that gives you an idea.

I heard that if you use/intend to use legacy cables (the ones that aren’t USB-C to USB-C) like a USB-A to USB-C, make sure the cable have a 56 ohm resistor. There were cases in the past that without a 56 ohm resistor had fried devices. Not sure how true this is today but I’ve always made sure the description says this when buying USB A to USB C cables just to be safe.

The ausphone ebay store has sub $10 braided cables in various lengths, bought one for my usb-c keyboard, definitely recommend.

Office works has one for $8.00 ,have been using it in the car

Does Fast charging but its only USB 2.0, so the data transfer is very slow, but most of the time its in the CAR so not a big thing.

If you transfer data regularly look for USB 3.1,its much faster.
