Mietubl Braided PD 20W USB-C to Lightning Cable for iPhone 14/15/16

What’s the difference between a data cable and a charging cable?

Most cables can both charge and transfer data, but some low-cost cables only support charging. If you need to sync files, use navigation,or connect to a computer, choose a cable that states “data transfer” in the specs.

How do I know if my cable supports data transfer?

1. Check the product packaging or description for terms like "data sync", "file transfer", or speed ratings (e.g. 480Mbps/10Gbps). 2. Test by connecting your device to a computer: Android phones should show a file transfer notification, while iPhones will appear in iTunes/Finder. 3. Visually inspect USB-A connectors - data cables have four or more metal pins inside, while charge-only cables typically have only two pins. Note that USB-C and Lightning cables require functional testing as they lack visual indicators.

What should I look for when buying a data cable?

Match the connector (USB-C/Lightning/Micro-USB), right length, supported power (60W/100W), data speed (USB 2.0/3.x), durability (braided, strain-relief), and a trusted brand like Mietubl.
