What to know before buying
- USB 3.0 performance depends on the connected host, peripheral and any other cables in the connection. The listed 5 Gbps is a claimed maximum, not a guaranteed transfer speed.
Listing details to confirm
The listing details are inconsistent: the title states 5 Gbps and 3 m, while the customer-feedback summary refers to a 2-metre version. The listed 140 watts, 3 Amps, 5 Volts (DC), and 5 Hz figures do not clearly reconcile with one another, so confirm the selected cable revision and intended charging limits before use. The claimed bend and plug-cycle figures also vary across listing text.
