Fair dinkum. I've bought a load of cables in the past when I didn't check the specs and the charging times have varies considerableu so always check the details now. Looks like you've already done your homework.

As long as it can handle 2A, it doesn't matter whether it's USB 2 or 3. That part of the specification for USB refers to data transmission. The part of the spec about charging has been at least 3A for the best part of a decade now, the limitation being the charger and the device.

Has anyone tried a 3-1 cable for usb-c/lightning/micro USB?
Rather than carry a raft of cables with me, do the 3-1 cables work? If so, what's the best?
I don't mind whether it is this sort of thing: Core 3-in-1 Lightning / Micro USB / USB-C 1m Cable - White
or something like this:
USB Multi-Charging Cable - Lightning, USB-C, Micro-USB | StarTech.com United Kingdom
