Go through your spare cables and share! You know you've been meaning to go through them anyways!! This is not including the cables I am actually using.

Here is mine:

Usb c to usb c- 8
Usb a to usb c- 4
Usb a to lightning- 4
Usb c to lightning- 13
Usb A to micro usb- 4
Apple watch cable- 4
Ethernet- 4
Hdmi cables- 3
Headphone jack to headphone jack- 3
Optical audio(think thats the name)- 1

Is there any way to determine which cables are better than others? Not so much in terms of which ones only charge if cable is in a particular position, more along the lines that one cable is able to charge at 35w vs another that is limited to 20w. Or do they all charge at same speed?

I want to donate some to a homeless shelter or the needy. Stay blessed. Amen

You have too many cables.

How many are OEM and how many are from a gas station, just waiting to cause a fire?

Idk. Some are the freebies that come with electronics, some are slickdeals, some are oem. I guess there is some $15 "usb meter" thing that can tell you the amp and voltage draw. So gonna test the wires today and donate the crappier ones

[Edited on August 24, 2025 at 12:37 PM. Reason : Hoping for more participation, i guess i assumed we all had a plethora of cables in a box etc]
