Unlike HDMI, you probably don’t need the fastest USB-C cable

Unlike HDMI, you probably don’t need the fastest USB-C cable

 

So much of life revolves around cables these days, especially if you get excited about new devices as much as I do. I have numerous game consoles, several streaming devices, and TVs — which means I have more HDMI cables than I know what to do with. HDMI cables are enough of an issue for me, and now I have USB cables piling up. USB-C finally replaced my older Micro-USB and Mini-USB cables. It now feels like USB-C and HDMI are on a level playing field thanks to the universal compatibility offered by their ports.
