Thats quite unlikely, try to find a usb c cable that actually speaks 40 gig or at least 20 like this one, they are a bit cheaper what fairphone is asking, but the cables that can actually deliver are quite pricey. The cheap ones you see only do 480 mbit or power online and not 240 watts

I totally trust that cable from scamazon to not be counterfeit.

I have one like it and it works without issues. Now what?

Ragas is from .ml and his name translates to horn probably not a reasonable person

Sure buy that thing, but 240watts is lots of power in a small diameter, that's surely were you trust the cheapest biddet am i right. People in the oh so trust worthy comments note that it does not quite deliver the speed but seems to be up to speed.. Or at least the first batch did

Hm, I mean expensive brand products often enough still fail spectacularly or are revealed to be produced from the same factory as the cheap products, so price alone isn't a trustworthy decider.

On that front Fairphones certification is actually good.

Hey, I'm not saying I'm not willing to pay extra for proven quality and fair working conditions, I just think that 6 times more is too much more.
