OK cable, but slow for charging

By Rob W. on September 8, 2013

I do a lot of testing with various portable batteries and cables, and i have found this cable to do just fine with data transfer speeds at the expected USB 2 speeds, but find that its power transfer rates are quite sub-par.

The look and feel of this cable would lead you to believe its a good quality cable, but it doesn't charge like one. On a 1000 mA power source it will only pull 800 mA, i have occasionally seen it get a bit higher, but not consistently. A quality cable can allow all 1000 mA to a normal USB device like a phone. Even when upping the output source to 2000 or 2100 mA there is little change. USB Standards prevent a full 2000 mA through a USB cable, but most good cables will max out at 1200 mA based on my testing. Again this is cable sits tight around 800.
Overall this may not be something most people care about but it should be noted that it will caused longer charge times to your devices.
