5. Care and Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Subsonic USB-C charging cable, please follow these care guidelines:
- Avoid Kinks and Sharp Bends: Do not bend the cable sharply, especially near the connectors, as this can damage internal wires.

- Handle Connectors Carefully: Always grasp the connector housing when plugging or unplugging the cable. Do not pull directly on the cable itself.
- Keep Clean and Dry: Protect the cable and its connectors from dust, dirt, and moisture. If cleaning is necessary, gently wipe with a dry, soft cloth.

6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Subsonic USB-C charging cable, try the following solutions:

- Test the cable with another compatible controller or device to confirm the cable's functionality.
- Ensure the power source is active and providing power.
- Slow Charging:
- Verify that your power source (console USB port or wall adapter) provides sufficient power output. Some USB ports may offer lower charging speeds.
- Avoid using the controller extensively while charging, as this can slow down the charging process.
- Intermittent Connection:
- Check for any visible damage to the cable or connectors.
