Talk:1892: USB Cables
> Carries data but not power - Not typically done, but it could happen if the wires or pins get damaged.
> Charges phone slowly - More likely a problem with the charger than the cable, but may happen if the wires are damaged.
Some manufactures limits charging / fast charging to approved devices only, and this can also be done by some non-standard trick within cable connectors, so non-OEM cable do no charge or charge slower
>Plug doesn't fit through case - There's no standard for what the plastic housing around the USB connector should look like, and sometimes these are moulded so they don't quite fit in the phone socket or through the charging port of an external case.
There is standard defining clearances for plastic housing of connectors, but not all manufactures care
