Difference between charging cable.

[DeagleMaster]

So I need a new USB-C charging cabel to use with my LG G6. Shulde I buy one that is 20awg or 22awg? What is the difference between different cabels?

Higher circunference of a cable allows for better heat dissipation, therefore they tend to be better for quick charge and they should last longer with less risk of overheating.

Ok thanks. So lower number is better? On a nother note. Can a bad wall-adapter demage the cabel?

What do you mean for "bad wall adapte?.

 

In the AWG size scale, lower AWG is higher circunference = the cable is physically larger, with more material.

In the EU scale, cables are measured with mmq. Higher mmq = bigger cable.
