"While USB-C accessories are an ideal solution for consumers looking for a universal charging solution, uncertified cables and accessories, which may not work or can damage their devices. Our USB-C accessories are engineered and tested to meet the highest international standards for quality, and are all certified and guaranteed so that consumers can rest assured that their devices are protected."

Belkin was the first manufacturer to produce USB-IF certified cables. USB-IF certified vendors are becoming the norm, with retail giants like Amazon announcing they will no longer accept third party vendors that are not USB-IF certified. USB certification requires rigorous testing and indication by an emblem on the packaging. Belkin recently published a whitepaper on USB-C to help people understand what USB-C is and how it differs from other cables. Download the paper here: http://belk.in/usbcnow
