Performance
Charging speeds were consistently good, although not blazing fast. Compared to other Type-C cables I’ve tested, this one fell somewhere in the middle. It consistently charged my phone faster than the stock charger but slightly slower than a higher-end fast-charging cable. Data transfer speeds were also reliable, transferring large files at decent speeds without any interruptions. The durability claims were tested thoroughly. I intentionally subjected the cable to numerous bends, twists, and even a few accidental yanks. Thankfully, it held up remarkably well, showcasing the robust build quality.
However, the “under 2 feet” length is a noticeable limitation. It’s ideal for bedside charging or use on a small desk but less practical for use with longer distances. This short length significantly restricts its usability in various situations.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Reversible connector, decent charging and data transfer speeds, surprisingly durable build quality.
- Cons: Very short length, not the fastest charging cable on the market.
Final Verdict
The XLQ70728702_U00491 Type-C Data Sync Charging Cable (Red/White) offers a solid combination of durability and functionality. While the short length is a significant drawback limiting its versatility, its robust construction and reliable performance make it a decent option for those who need a short, dependable cable, particularly for bedside charging. I would recommend this cable if its short length isn’t a deal-breaker for you. Otherwise, consider a longer option for broader usability.
