Does the length of a USB cable effect the charging rate/time ?
I need a replacement USB type C to A for my mobile phone and have tried many different brands and lengths and am unsure
Braided ones have regularly failed
I am thinking of trying an AMAZON OWN BRAND 2.7 metre one
If I was half as smart as I think I am - I'd be twice as smart as I REALLY am.

Generally, over 3 meters and the power starts to degrade, so, your suggestion should be OK.Drinking Rum before 10am makes you

Her current phone doesn't want to know, or charges very slowly. The previous phone didn't have a problem on the 5m cable.0
