A:AnswerWell I was pretty sure but I just double checked via google and this exact cable in question on clearance on bestbuy.com with free site to store pick up. It comes in a variety of colors and also comes with a portable charger with matching solid color. Great for charging a cell phone on the go. Anyhow the price is now $2.99 still a steal compared to the Nikon brand which popped up as $24.99. Hope this helps. Cable is almost twice as long as apple version too.
A:AnswerActually, the cable is only as fast as the charger you are using. The cable doesn't determine charge speed, the part you plug into the wall or 12 volt receptacle determines that.
