◆IT/Gadgets (Internet, software, hardware, mobile)
I tried out Daiso's USB 3.0/USB PD 100W compatible USB Type-C cable - Mobile Watch

From the above, we can conclude that this cable has specifications that differ from those stated on the packaging.

Some people may think that it's okay as long as the specs are exceeded, but regardless of the USB specifications, the fact that it is possible to supply power that far exceeds the specs is extremely dangerous in terms of heat generation and fire.

Also, if a cable has USB Type-C on both ends and claims to be USB 3.0 compatible, a full-spec cable is a must, but this requirement is not met.

Even if it is not a full-spec cable, data communication compliant with USB 3.0 is possible (in fact, this product can perform data communication compliant with USB 3.2 Gen2, which exceeds that), but it does not qualify according to the standard.

If the specifications were as specified, it would be a very attractive product, especially at the 330 yen price, but considering that the specifications have deviated from the specifications so much, I honestly cannot recommend this cable.
