Cables

A charging cable is not necessarily a data transfer cable. The difference is that you can usually charge with a data transfer cable, but typically can't transfer data with a charging-only cable. The good news is that all Canyon's mobile device cables are designed for both charging and data transfer. This means you only need one cable for both functions, eliminating the need to choose the right cable when purchasing. Furthermore, the length of a charging cable doesn't significantly impact charging speed with quality cables. It's important that the higher resistance of longer cables is offset by suitable internal conductors and highly conductive connectors, such as gold-plated ones.

When considering whether to choose an MFi (Made for iPhone/iPad) certified cable or not, it's crucial to understand the benefits and limitations. MFi cables are specifically designed to meet Apple's standards for performance and compatibility with their devices. These cables ensure safe and efficient charging and data transfer, reducing the risk of damage to the device. However, they may come at a higher price compared to non-MFi cables. Non-MFi cables can be less expensive but might not offer the same level of quality or compatibility, potentially leading to charging issues or device damage. The choice depends on the balance between cost and the assurance of quality and compatibility.
