Just at this time, Cabletime spammed us with discounts on a two-meter USB-A -> TypeC cable, so after reading the positive reviews on TypeC – TypeC cables from this company, and stocking up on a $1 coupon from the seller, I decided to buy. I will say right away – the cable was not particularly impressed. For a load of 1A and 5V at the charging output, the voltage after the cable will be at the lower limit of the allowable: 4.76V. Result – could be much better, although not bad for two meters. I needed a long TypeC cable to power the device without PD.

Cabletime N036 USB-A to TypeC 2m Short Review

For two meters, the result is not impressive, so, average. Anything about the cores and characteristics of the cable is printed on the insulation. Current 1A. A small burr is visible on the USB-A case.
The order was sent quickly by Aliexpress Saver Shipping, it also arrived quickly in https://jiji.ug/power-tools/machine-gun a regular yellow postal package. However, for low power loads Interesting stuff: Resistance 0.34 Ohm. It’s not very clear which wire is used in which lines, but just remember that the design resistance of 26AWG is 0.134 Ohm/m, and the resistance of 24AWG is 0.0842 Ohm/m. Those. the cable “holds” both 1A, and 2A, and 3A, but the acceptable voltage at the cable output with 5-volt charging will be only at a current of 1A. HI-SPEED USB Revision 2.0 SHIELDED 26AWG/1P 24AWG/2C… 80°C 30V VW-1 VEGA TECH Inside is a branded plastic bag with a cable. For AWG24: 0.0842 (ohm/m) * 2 (meters) * 2 (two power conductors per cable) = 0.3368 ohm.
The name of the manufacturer is on the plugs. Let’s estimate whether the manufacturer has deceived with the thickness of the wires used. I have an unnamed 2m TypeC-TypeC cable that came with the Wotobe charger, and it has half the resistance – 0.18 ohms. Length measured 202 cm with plugs. Cable in standard rubber-like insulation, pleasant to the touch, not hard, medium thickness. The agreement between theory and experimental data is downright impressive. I honestly expected better based on reviews of other cables from this company. Logically, the field lines should be 24AWG, and for the data – 26AWG. And here it is, the moment of truth – we connect it to the tester to measure the resistance. Rigidity, respectively, is much greater.
