First Gen USB 2.0 Orzly Cables:
To explain, we had originally released these for use with the OnePlus 2 and we had no knowledge or data concerning future devices supporting Type-C as at the time, this was still a relatively new technology.
However since the launch of the Google Nexus 5X, it has been brought to our attention that the resistors in the USB 2.0 cables may not be suitable to use with the Nexus 5X, 6P and other new Type-C devices because our cables had a 10K resistor in them, instead of the USB standard requirement of 56K resistor.

This means that depending on the power source you are using, there is a small risk that the cable may try and draw more power than the source will allow which may cause damage to your power adapter especially if the adapter does not have a self-contained safety mechanism to regulate power flow.
Much of the outcome will depend on both the device you are trying to charge, as well as the quality of your power source. It is always recommended that the best chargers or adapters to use are ones which display a regional safety compliance symbol such as CE, UL, or CCC eyc on them). These chargers will have an in-built safety mechanism that will regulate the flow of current and prevent a higher current from being drawn.
Therefore depending on your power source, the outcome of using these USB 2.0 cables could be different. For example if using a 2A charger (that has a self-regulating mechanism) to charge a Oneplus 2, then these cables are fine to use. If using a 3A charger (that has a self-regulating mechanism) then the cables can be used, but it is not recommended. Finally, if using the cable without a safe charger, or on a device such as the Chrombook Pixel, then these cables should NOT be used as damage could be caused to your charger, adaptor, or USB port.
The table below should provide a quick summary for reference:

So the Nexus 6P video didn’t show rapid charging, can the new cable handle 3a for rapid charging 6P?
Hey I’m hoping to get a return on my charging cable. I researched it cause it was charging so slowly but also because it kept booting me from android auto. Switched cables and now it works great. Looks like the thing isn’t good to use with my 5x but it’s outside of amazon return window. Please contact me about this. Thanks! http://orzlyblog.com/update-on-type-c-orzly-cables/
