You get what you pay for right? The Swooshcord isn’t the worst performing cable in my collection, but it’s far from being decent…

INIU USB C to USB C Cable 240W 2-Pack Fast Charging Cord PD3.1 Type C to Type C Charger Cable Review
-Spec wise, this cable supports PD 3.1, 240W charging but doesn’t state what USB version it is. (it’s 2)
-Physically, it’s a little thicker than the usually USBC cable, the cable is stiff as it holds its shape, the connector is metal BUT each head is different
-for length, I bought the 2m version and it’s 2cm longer
-the INIU cable is probably one of the most generous in terms of extra length…
–
Now charging performance
-had a hard time hitting 100W consistently
-VOltage drop of .73V which is above average
-Cable reisstance was a tiny bit higher at .22
-Even though it’s PD3.1, the cable only does USB2 data speeds
-Write speed was higher than average but read was a hair lower
-BUT mixed folder transfer is where the cable shards the bed
-it’s so slow…
-that’s a big red flag
Post bend, nothing changed for the charge tests
-but damn, the data was brutal
-average speed for the large files was 19 and 22
-for the mixed files, it wasn’t much better
General Testing Procedure:
Data:
– Data speeds were tested with a Samsung T9 Portable SSD connected to a M1 Mac Studio
– Tested 1, 5, 20 GB sized files and 1, 5 GB folders containing mixed files
– Data speeds were measured using fio
Charge:
– Charge speeds were measured using a 140W Apple Charger, a PowerZ KM003c and a Siglent Eload
– Charge speeds measured across 15, 27, 45, 60W rates
Bends:
– Bends were tested on a custom built bending platform
– Cables were bent to 90 degrees repeatedly, no pause at each bend
– Cable wasn’t hard clamped, it was held in place by a channel in the platform to allow for a bit of twisting
Like the content but this may be a case of overanalizing.
The cable is super cheap, long, strong and will support 100+ charging for your devices. Specially good for things like soldering irons or monitors.
Am I missing something, Whats so bad about it?
Can you review and test LISEN 6″ 240watt cables. They have over 6K reviews and “10k sold last month” yet there hardly discussion about them and there’s no reputable reviews. Some say they have e-marker chip only one side and mention the cable is very frail.
Its a charging cable for their powerbanks
I have a number of these, as they have never failed, unlike so many others in the past, i shan’t talk about micro usb, the lifespan was so short….
I don’t think anyone use these type of cables for data transfers, people want a cable to change there devices, the light is useful as it shows the device us charging, i always go at least twice the wattage i will be using, so if i need 50w i use 100, as we always know the company will put the highest numbers possible, so you want a area that you are not going to the max for the cable.
Youve done long and cheap, but what about short and premium? There are a slew of tiny 240w 10gbps usbc keychain cables making bold claims but barely landing 140w and 6gbps. I always end up back on your videos. Thanks for all the great info.
