Does it work for a Nintendo Switch

Yes it does, it’s not as fast as the official cord included with the switch, however it works well enough. Even though it’s not as fast, it’s convenience makes up for it.

Does this cable have a built in 56k resistor?

This is a great question to explore as any USB Type-C cable that does not have a 56 OHM resistor can brick your Nintendo Switch. Can anyone from AMAZON actually chime in here please?

Can i transfer data to/from ipad pro 2018 to macbook pro with this cable?

Yes. One person said that you cannot use it with a 3rd generation iPad Pro 2018 because it uses USB 3. He is INCORRECT. The iPad Pro 3rd generation 12.9, 2018 comes ONLY with a USB C port. So you can plug the USB C male end into the 2018 3rd gen iPad Pro and then plug the male end of the USB-A into the USB-A port on the MacBook Pro and transfer data through iTunes.

Does this work with the samsung galaxy s8 plus?

Yes, and it works VERY well. I bought 3 more just to have them where and when ever I may need one.

This Cable Has Surprising Longevity

I bought my first Amazon Basic USB-A to USB-C cable three years ago when I got my Galaxy S21 FE 5G, because the cable that came with my phone was utter trash. This cable was faithful and reliable, always there to give my phone the fastest charge without failing or error messages. I can't say the same for the OEM Samsung cable that came with the phone.I loved this one, in fact, that I ordered a second one to use in my car for Android Auto. That one worked okay with Android Auto, but I think it was more of a car problem than it was a cable issue. Only recently, after three years of use, has the cable shown signs of wear. Over its lifetime, this cable has saved money that I can't even fathom, because I haven't had to replace it. What a great product and a fantastic price. Thank you, Amazon Basics, for this product. Highly recommend.

Gets the job done

Bought it after I thought I lost my cable (found it AFTER this was delivered next day) and couldn't justify myself sending it back. Sturdier design than what I currently have. Feels and looks good. Is the same length as my other one. And gets the job done for charging my phone and transferring data quickly without a hitch. In fact, this is MORE reliable than the one I've had in data transfers - to my surprise. Happy w purchase here.
