5A 1M at $1-$2. Are they good ?

Thanks.

Better to get a better quality cable for higher ampere cables, can consider brands like Ugreen

Get Ugreen cables and chargers from official seller on Lazada or Shopee. These are cheap and reliable. Bought quite a few for both my iPhone and Xiaomi phone.

Buy aukey. The best. I have 2 of the same cable

I bought multiple ugreen, nohon, baseus cables. Pd cables, USB c to USB a.

The key is not buying the highest spec but the correct spec.

I am using xiaomi POCO f2 and none of the high spec cables can provide turbo charge except for the original cable and charger.

Even a 60w cable paired with 30w charger does not trigger the turbo charge.

Likewise having 5A cable doesn't help if your phone does not accept 5A, xiaomi does not.

most sellers will specify which device the cable is for.
like the 5A is usually for huawei.
so using 5A charger/cable combo on xiaomi will only get you the same result as a 2A combo, which is quick charge at 18W.
