How Fast Is a USB-C To USB-C Fast Charging Cord?

Andrew the Cable NingaLeave a comment

Minimize the time that your smartphone has to stay plugged into its USB-C cable syncing or charging. A high-speed USB-C fast charging cable is the way there. Although the device being charged is limited as to how much power and data it can handle at once, an equipped USB cable will allow you to reach its maximum numbers.

A USB-C to USB-C fast charging cord can mean a lot of things. For example, earlier in 2022, the very first 240W USB-C 2.1 cables in the world were manufactured with up to 40Gbps of data transfer. Even though they are made, they aren’t widely circulating yet and aren’t available in retail.

Even if a 240W USB-C cable was available, no smartphone has the technology to take in that charging power at once. Instead of focusing on the highest of high-speed USB-C cables and overspending on a number that isn’t even possible to hit yet, look at far more affordable smartphone sync and charge cables that are still in the high speed category.

What Is A High-Speed USB-C Cable?

A high-speed USB-C cable is designed to charge and sync at speeds above what an average manufacturer-provided cable provides. Depending on the device, a high-speed USB cable typically has data transfer speeds of up to 10Gbps and wattage of 60-100W on average, although this varies.

Try for a USB-C to UBS-C fast charging cord with at least 60W of power and data transfer speeds of 480Mbps. This will provide you the chance to charge quickly and without overspending. Available today at PrimeCables.ca for only $5.99, they’re very inexpensive when bought online without compromise to their quality.

A few big advantages to the PrimeCables.ca USB-C fast charging cable are that it has a right-angle connector and an LED indicator to let you know when it is charging. The right-angle connector is particularly beneficial as it reduces wear-and-tear on the end and reduces any bending of the cable which can harm the wire inside over time.

60W/480Mbps may seem a long way away from 240W/10Gbps but it’s not too noticeable, especially with smartphones. Unless you are doing massive transfers of data every day, a fast charging cord at 60W/480Mbps still beats out most average USB cables. For example, most computer USB ports supply only 2.5W at one time. Think about the jump from 2.5W to 60W when plugging your device into a wall outlet. That’s huge!

If you are in the market for a new high-speed fast charging USB-C cable, try to line up your purchase with what your device can handle. Never overspend. Shop a high-quality USB-C cable today at PrimeCables.ca.

Does A Universal Single Port USB Wall Charger Charge Faster?

Andrew the Cable NingaLeave a comment

How you make your smartphone charge faster is by focusing on the cable, yes, but also the source. A lot of people mistakenly buy a fast-charging USB sync and charge cable, thinking it’s going to provide increased charging speed. However, if you’re charging from a device like a laptop or computer, no matter how fast the charging cable is, you’re still limited by the output.

By comparison, a universal single port USB wall charger plugs into your wall and redirects that electricity singularly into charging your phone. It doesn’t need to power a laptop or any other device. Everything’s going into your smartphone or device that’s being charged. That’s why a universal USB wall charger is always faster. If you don’t have one and aren’t sure about it yet, here’s some more information that may sway you.

How Fast A Laptop Is Charging A Smartphone

An average USB cable used in a laptop produces about 600-900 mA of charge. A wall socket charge, however, doubles that at about 1,000-2,000 mA.

In some cases, fully charging a phone from 0% to 100% can take several hours or even overnight.

Now add to that when you’re using a fast-charging USB-C cable compared to the average smartphone sync and charge cable. An average USB cable charges from 0% to roughly 30% in thirty minutes. A USB-C cable charges from 0% to 55% or more in the same time frame. When selecting a fast-charging USB cable and having a USB wall charger, you minimize total charging time.

How Fast A Universal Single Port USB Wall Charger Is

A premium USB wall charger has an output of 5V 2.4Am DC and an input of 100V-240V AC.

You will notice, from the moment you plug in your phone into the USB wall charger, how much faster it charges. Furthermore, you don’t need to worry about it over-charging or receiving too much signal. Wall charges have protections in the form of over-voltage, under-voltage, over-current, short-circuit, over-heating, surge, and overload.

Something to watch for, however, with the best USB wall chargers are how compatible they are. Unfortunately, not all USB wall chargers are ‘universal’. A ‘universal USB wall charger’ is what to look for. These will be able to charge iPhones, Androids, tablets, Bluetooth speakers, and any devices with USB compatibility.

We all carry at least a smartphone with us on a daily basis. For that reason alone, every household should have a USB wall charger to receive the best charging time possible on their smartphone and all devices. Check out universal USB wall chargers and other USB accessories at PrimeCables.ca.

See the Best USB Ports in 2020 for Charging

ThereseLeave a comment

USB ports allow you to connect multiple USB devices at the same time to charge, sync, and/or connect. Every port works a little differently, some only charging while others offer direct connection to a laptop or computer.

These multi-purpose ports are easy to install, are usually very portable, and are getting used by more and more households, especially multi-person dwellings such as condos, student houses, and families.

If you have three or more devices in your household that need to be charged weekly, make charging accessible for yourself and anyone else in the home. These are the best USB ports in Canada in 2020, ranging from smaller models to a premiere 13-port high speed hub.

If you want a multi-port connection to have with you and your laptop, this portable high speed 4-port USB hub’s a recommended buy. It’s all plug-and-play and is very easy to use. It will turn a single USB port into four.
