    Just did a bit of reading and it seems this is the missing link to why many aftermarket "fast" chargers were not working as expected. Came down to the cable.

    This might work for the Transformer T100 I just purchased.

    • Jit0809 on 30/05/2014 - 11:42

      hopefully it does.. i had the same problem until now.. got one too for my tabpro 8.4

    • furythree on 30/05/2014 - 16:53

      ive spent $60 in the past few months buying cables to find a high AWG micro usb

      If you dont care about length, just go to Aliexpress and look for the ones that look like samsung offical USB cables
      the sellers even bundle with 2A wall adapters for like $3.5-$50

      If you want length, i found a 3 meter one for $10 on ebay

      They arrived as sexy thick cables and i confirmed they can even charge windows 8 tablets

    32cm is quite short for practical use.

    • marquise on 30/05/2014 - 11:55

      I don't know why, but I didn't even look at the length when I purchased!

    • PVA on 30/05/2014 - 11:56

      Yep. A bit too short.

      Thanks mate!

      Was ready to buy until I saw your post. 32cm is way too short.

      Length needs to be mentioned in description… much shorter than what you would expect.

        Is that by itself a reason to neg the deal? Short cables can be lighter and charge faster than similar longer cables, so there is a niche for smaller cables. If you need another reason, the deal claims that it is faster because it uses all four pins for power. Actually, fast charging cables work by tricking the phone into thinking it is attached to a standards compliant fast charger. This is fine if you attach it to a non-standard charger (e.g. an Apple charger). However, there is a reason phones avoid drawing more power: to avoid the risk of damage to non-fast chargers.

        This probably won't be a problem. I'll probably get a few myself, but it is worth being aware of.

      • abh_gup on 31/05/2014 - 19:53

        UFO, the deal is good for yourself. You should decide if it suits you or not. For example, this one is perfect to leave at my work, connected to my PC and not worry about leaving it behind!

      that's what she said

  • Unorthodox on 30/05/2014 - 11:55

    What's the best USB wall adapter to go with this for a Nexus 5?

    I'm getting a big difference in charging speed from different adapters and the same two pin cables.

  • CVonC on 30/05/2014 - 11:59

    What gauge…

  • drazenm on 30/05/2014 - 12:01

    are the original charging cables that you receive with the, lets say galaxys4 fast charging or not?

    thanks

    • shmahoo on 30/05/2014 - 12:05

      the one I received with my S4 is very fast, I definitely notice a faster charge with this than the (original) charger that came with my S2

    • PVA on 30/05/2014 - 12:21

      I would say the Samsung ones are better quality and charge faster than cheapy cables but are not a Fast Charge cable like this - these cables cannot sync data, the samsung will be able to.

    99% of cables on ebay dont support fast charge, glad to have found this deal!

  • PVA on 30/05/2014 - 12:20

      Thanks, some very interesting discussion in that post.

  • hambuger on 30/05/2014 - 12:36

    Going to give this a go. 32cm is super short but I've gone through so many cables trying to find one that'll charge my S3. Only have 2 that work so more are always appreciated.

    • lomie on 30/05/2014 - 13:56

      Could try Tikbro cables. I don't have the S3 so can't vouch for it.

    Going to give this ago as well, its pretty much for the car anyways where the ciggy lighter socket isnt too far away.

    • shmahoo on 30/05/2014 - 14:32

      great idea !

  • superforever on 30/05/2014 - 13:31

    Charge only?

    • PVA on 30/05/2014 - 16:54

      Yes, can't sync with it.

  • CyberMurning on 30/05/2014 - 14:37

    ok the cable is fast but how fast is the shipping to sydney?
