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
Why did I search for your videos on your Master bender 9000😂
This is misleading. These are charging cables and great ones at that. I have the same exact pair, 2 for $12 6.6 ft cables. It’s not like INIU sold you a data cable but you got only USB2 speeds. They also sell data cables but just like any other brand, high-speed capable data cables are more expensive especially as you go into TB4, TB5 compatibility. But if you pay, they sell the correct cable. This is not the company’s or cable’s fault. This is you, judging a fish by its ability to climb a tree.
It is 2026 and I’m still using mine and it is very fast.. the Data Solid💪 I am glad I bought it before seeing this video. Like I wouldn’t have bought it. I believe you should get a new pack of it.. you will see the difference try it and see.. maybe the first one you bought had an issue
I have a feeling that INIU is planting comments now being like “it works good for me though 😧”
So I just recently picked up one of their cords. It is a 240 w digital display USBC to USBC. I just find it hilarious that as I’m speaking right now and I’m looking at my phone it’s saying it’s charging 6 watts and 7 w but yesterday I was at 19 w. Why that makes no sense
