5 Best USB-C Cables To Charge Your Phone Faster

In our previous post, we told you about some of the best fast chargers that you can buy for your phone. However, having a fast charger doesn’t necessarily guarantee better-charging speeds unless you have a compatible cable. Yes, the cable spec equally matters, especially for phones that pull higher amperage. Therefore, we are here with a list of five best USB-C cables that can be used for faster charging.

Best USB Type-C Cables with Fast Charging Support

If your phone supports basic 10W charging, then you won’t need a fast-charging USB-C cable. A regular Type-C that supports 2A+ will do the job. However, the difference comes into play as you move towards fast charging technologies with higher amperage and voltage.

Now, most cables look the same, but they have different constructions on the inside. As a result, the ability to fast charge boils down to the wire’s capacity to carry the power. Below we’ve mentioned some worth-buying USB Type-C cables, alongside their power ratings.
