There are "charging only cables" available that basically do the same stuff: They have the data-pins bridged in some strange way to persuade the phone and charger to consume/provide maximum charge current.
e.g. https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00JL1490G https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00JL1490G
No data transfer possible, and the particular cable linked feels as if it would have an adequate copper cross-section for the 2½A it's rated at.
- david-given 10y agoBe careful with those --- the cable is lying to the phone about whether the thing you've plugged it into is a fast charger or not, so if it's not, you can end up drawing way more current than it's rated for. A well designed USB charger will just shut down if this happens. A non well designed USB charger is another matter.
