does usb cable affect charging speed?

[mayhem_sci]

Hi all I have a galaxy s 8.4. Traded it in for my tab 7.7 which was an awesome device. Had to by all the accessories over again as the tab s uses a micro usb port. Anyway, I bought a cable (the original was really short) to charge but I found that it is very slow - one night only 50%! Is my observation accurate? How do I know whether any cable I buy is "right"?

Always buy original to be sure..

50 % charge time per night isn't right. If it's doesn't happen on your original cable, that might be the new cable problem.

Diff cable, pricing wise play a factor in quality build of these cables

Yes, with cheap cables charging can get very slow.

I bought a Capdase cable, 1.5m from Challenger for $9.90. Charges fine at full speed. Tried a 3m cable and it charges at half the speed, still respectable compared to very cheap cables.

Yes. It is. Speed related to the adapter and cable use.

yes, get the DOCOMO Fast Charge/Sync Micro USB cable . It is fast

Yes, cable plays a role in determining the charging speed.

Short cable doesn't mean it will charge faster
Long cable doesn't mean it will charge slower

Thanks all, I will look for the cables recommended here. It's not so much about buying original or not, I just need a longer cable that will charge correctly at a reasonable price.

I believe in what you paid you got
Not only in speed charging
Also the difference in quality

If possible, not only get docomo one, but also can get the LG microusb cable (shipped with models from G2 onwards), it's currently ranked no. 1 as a general cable unofficially according to the tests done by some forumers in Taiwan.

They used some devices to check the voltage at the input of the cable and output of the cable and then give the voltage drop per unit length.

Currently this cable has the best score, followed by the docomo one which is already very very good. But of course docomo is longer and has the 2 ferrite beads at both ends, while LG one is just normal cable.

These two cables are considered the 20AWG ones. Samsung original cable is at 23AWG. The lower the number, the higher the current it is able to carry across.

Qoo10 -

Used it with my Oneplus one phone and got 1.8 amps on a ipad charger, quite impressed Other cables can only get 0.5 amps..

Taobao.

They may or may not be the original LG cables but they works.
