Tips for Buying Quality and Durable Data Cables

Although the charging process on smartphones can now be done with Wireless technology, there are still many people who use cables because of faster charging. Most Android phones now have the fast charging feature, so they don’t need to wait much longer to do charging.

The fast charging feature on most phones is limited to 3.0A to 5.0A. Not all types of data cables support that, and if you use a cable that does not help, of course, the Ampere power obtained is not optimal, and the fast charging feature does not work.

Discussing cables, here will be shared tips on buying a quality data cable for cellphones. Whether it’s used for charging or transferring data, please see, starting from the first.

1. Original and Brand Compatible Cables Cell Phones

It’s still good to use the original version according to the brand of cellphone as good as the other data cables. The original data cable is indeed more durable, and of course, you don’t need to think about whether or not it’s suitable. For example, the fast charging feature will work or not because inevitably it will work.
You can buy the original cable through the cellphone service center. But if the cellphone is quite popular like Samsung, Xiaomi, Lenovo, etc., it might be easily found at large counters that provide cellphone accessories.

2. Check Cable Specifications

Data cable specifications usually appear on the cardboard box. Please observe first a few things, such as the maximum Amperes supported, features (a type of auto disconnect), and the cable’s material. And also choose one that suits the capabilities of the charger head.

For example, if the charger head only supports a maximum of 2.0A, it is better to buy a cable that supports up to 2.0A, instead of buying expensive 5.0A but the power is not used entirely.

3. Cable Length

As the best advice, choose a cable with an equivalent length of 1 meter. More than that is also not a problem because it can later be rolled. Don’t choose too short, unless it’s used specifically for power banks.

However, it is better to choose a long data cable, because it can be used in all places. In addition, this will make it very easy when using the cable to transfer files from computer to cell phone and vice versa. Given sometimes the location CPU is a little far from the monitor.

4. Make sure the Data Cable Has a Warranty

Usually, a data cable will have a warranty period of about one week starting from the purchase day. If less than a week the cord has been damaged or slow to be used to charge cell phones, that’s the right time to claim the warranty.
Most brands of data cables always provide a guarantee, but to ensure further. Please ask the seller directly.
The several cable brands that can be used as a reference when buying, include:

• Uneed
• Mcdodo
• Aukey
• Vivan
• Baseus
• Wellcomm
• Anker

Some of the tips above can help you find a quality data cable. Sometimes we cannot measure the durability of a cable from a brand, but we also see how we use it. If it is rough in use, the cable’s life will be short or easily damaged. Hopefully useful and good luck.
