Community Reviews
This Insignia 45W wall charger kit stands out as a compact USB C phone charger that includes a braided cable and charges fast. The bundled cable is the main draw, and the charger is described as a solid, good value deal for everyday phone charging. The cable marketing is disputed, though, since the included lead is treated as a standard USB C cable rather than a truly special high speed one. Compatibility concerns also come up for Samsung S25 style high speed charging, which depends on PPS support and a 5A cable.
Common Questions (5)
Yes, the kit includes a braided USB-C cable and the charger can deliver 45W fast charging. The cable is useful as an included extra, but it is not required for this charger to reach its rated speed.
It can charge at 45W, but Samsung S25 "high speed" charging also requires a charger that supports PPS and a 5A cable. This kit's cable alone does not make the charger PPS-capable.
The cable is described as a standard USB-C cable for this charger, and the kit's "high speed" wording refers to the 45W charging output rather than a special 240W cable. USB 2.0 data transfer is the only transfer speed mentioned.
Yes, cable quality can affect charging speed in general, especially with higher-power setups. For this 45W charger, any C-to-C cable that supports 45W should perform similarly.
It charges fast and is described as a solid deal, but one prior Insignia 30W charger reportedly bricked after about a week. That makes long-term reliability a possible concern for some buyers.

All USB-C cables can do 3 Amp charging. This is why standard cables are 60W (20V * 3 Amp).
Faster charge cables come in 100W, 140W, and 240W.
The charger matters because it invokes PD charging above 15W. But all C-to-C cables can do 45W at this charger's max if 15V * 3 Amp.
Hence, there's nothing really special about this cable.

Context matters, the original reply was that having a high speed cable helps with scenarios like this one. It does not with anything you would use with this charger. And one could argue Best Buy is being a bit deceptive there by omitting that with the marketing combo.

Because a lot of people are going to think that this is a 5 amp charger that will do that now.
