I'm at 3 USB A to C cables that my somehow has turned into "slow charging cables". Is anyone else having this issue? I can't prove with certainty that it's the Librem 5 doing it, but it's the common denominator.

For what it's worth, the charging is slow even if I use a different device, adapter, and power source.

@newbyte I don't follow... What would "fast charging A to C cable" even mean? The only way an A to C cable can differentiate is by whether it carries USB 2.0/3.0 signals or not.

@dos @newbyte USB-C is black magic. Various cables will not work for fast charging simply because internal resistance is too high.

@pavel @dos Sorry, I should've been more clear about this in the original post. I meant "slow charging" as in "so slow that Android notifies you that it's slow". However, I may have jumped the gun with posting this, I haven't really tested this much, just thought about asking given a recent experience where someone borrowed one of my cables that seem to have gone bad from use with the Librem 5 and she complained about the charging being slow.
