Introduction: Why is My Device Charging So Slow?
Have you ever plugged in your phone, tablet, or laptop, only to find that it’s charging painfully slow?
Or maybe your device doesn’t charge at all, even though you’re using a USB-C cable?
The problem isn’t your charger or device—it’s likely the wrong cable.
With multiple charging standards, power outputs, and device compatibility issues, choosing the right USB-C cable is more complicated than it seems.
At GIBGI, we make it simple.
In this guide, we’ll explain:
✅ Why some cables charge faster than others.
✅ How to choose the right USB-C cable for your device.
✅ What makes GIBGI FastPower USB-C cables the best choice for safe and fast charging.
Why Do Some USB-C Cables Charge Faster Than Others?
Not all USB-C cables deliver the same power. Some can fully charge a MacBook in 90 minutes, while others take 6 hours for a simple phone charge.
⚡ The reason? It all comes down to Power Delivery (PD), wattage, and cable quality.
1. Power Delivery (PD) – The Fast Charging Standard
💡 What is Power Delivery (PD)?
-
PD is the fast-charging standard that allows USB-C cables to deliver higher power safely.
-
Regular USB cables only provide 5W-10W of power (slow charging).
-
PD cables can deliver 18W, 30W, 60W, or even 100W, allowing for faster charging of phones, tablets, and laptops.
🚀 GIBGI FastPower USB-C cables support up to 60W PD, ensuring your devices charge at maximum speed.
2. Wattage & Device Compatibility
🔋 Why does wattage matter?
-
Different devices require different power levels to charge efficiently.
-
A low-power cable (18W) won’t fast-charge a high-power device like a MacBook or gaming laptop.
💡 Here’s what you need for different devices:
📱 Phones (Samsung, Pixel, iPhone, OnePlus, etc.) → Needs 18W-30W PD cable.
💻 Laptops (MacBook, Dell XPS, Lenovo, etc.) → Needs 60W-100W PD cable.
🎮 Gaming Consoles (Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, etc.) → Needs 45W-60W PD cable.
🚀 GIBGI FastPower USB-C cables are optimized for 60W PD, making them perfect for phones, tablets, and laptops.
3. Cable Build Quality – Why Cheap Cables Slow You Down
Did you know that low-quality cables actually block fast charging?
🔹 Poor internal wiring = slower power transfer.
🔹 Weak connectors = unstable charging.
🔹 No shielding = overheating and potential device damage.
A premium cable should have:
✔ Thick copper wires for better power flow.
✔ Reinforced connectors for durability.
✔ USB-IF certification for safe, stable charging.
🚀 GIBGI FastPower cables feature 6X stronger braided nylon, reinforced connectors, and USB-IF safety certification.
How to Choose the Right USB-C Cable for Your Device

Common Myths About Fast Charging
There’s a lot of confusion about USB-C fast charging. Let’s clear up some myths:
❌ Myth 1: “Any USB-C cable will work for fast charging.”
➡ Truth: Only PD-certified cables can support high-speed charging. Cheap cables slow you down.
❌ Myth 2: “Higher wattage always means faster charging.”
➡ Truth: Your device has a max charging speed. Using a 100W cable on a phone that supports only 18W won’t make it charge faster.
❌ Myth 3: “All USB-C cables transfer data at the same speed.”
➡ Truth: Most cheap cables use USB 2.0, which is 20X slower than USB 3.1. Always check the data transfer rating.
🚀 GIBGI FastPower cables are PD-certified, built for maximum wattage efficiency, and support high-speed data transfer.
