My understanding is that while they will all be usable to some extent, there are differences in cabling that actually matter for transfer speed or power transfer:
USB3 cables are in some way physically different and enable much higher transfer speed: http://www.howtogeek.com/222400/do-usb-3.0-connections-require-usb-3.0-cables/ Fast-charge-capable usb cables with Type C (there is no upside down to the plugs - symmetrical) have some special sauce that allows for fast charging. I don't claim to understand how after a lot of reading, but it seems like some are better than others (eg, charging is faster with one cable than with another, measured in some way that struck me as "sufficiently scientific for my belief-needs") On Wed, May 18, 2016 at 2:01 PM, Rich Shepard <[email protected]> wrote: > On Wed, 18 May 2016, Aaron Burt wrote: > > > Yep, that's the idear. > > I thunk so, Aaron.
