60W USB C to USB C Cable 1M PD 3.0 3A Fast Charging Cord (Model Number: 50997) Review
Introduction
The tech world is obsessed with speed, and charging is no exception. This review dives deep into the 60W USB-C to USB-C cable (Model Number: 50997), a cable promising significantly faster charging than its 18W counterparts. After weeks of rigorous testing with various devices, here’s my honest assessment.
Features
The cable boasts a 60W (20V 3A) power delivery, promising rapid charging speeds. The manufacturer claims it can charge a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra to 70% in 30 minutes and fully charge a 13-inch MacBook Air in 90 minutes when used with a compatible 60W charger. Beyond charging, it also offers data transfer speeds up to 480Mbps (USB 2.0). It features a durable construction with tinned copper conductors and aluminum foil shielding. The build quality feels premium, and the soft PVC coating is comfortable to the touch.
Performance
My testing confirmed the fast charging claims. Charging my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra with a 65W charger did indeed result in noticeably faster charging times compared to an 18W cable. The 90-minute charge time for my 13-inch MacBook Air was also achieved. Data transfer speeds were as advertised, allowing for quick backups and file transfers. The cable consistently performed well without any overheating issues, even during extended use. However, as noted in the product description, it does not support video output or monitor extension, which was expected.
During testing, I also noticed that the cable seemed slightly more resistant to kinking and bending compared to other cables in this price range. It also held up well to repeated plugging and unplugging in various ports.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Extremely fast charging speeds; impressive data transfer rates; durable build quality; comfortable to handle; good value for the price.
- Cons: No video output or monitor extension (as expected).
Final Verdict
The 60W USB-C to USB-C cable (Model Number: 50997) delivers on its promises. If you need a fast-charging, high-data-transfer USB-C cable that’s built to last, this is an excellent choice. The combination of speed, durability, and reasonable price makes it a strong contender in a crowded market. I highly recommend this cable for anyone needing a reliable and efficient charging solution.
