yea pretty sure it has to be usb 3.0 cable for fast charging.. some budget phones have usb type c port but its only 2.0

normal usb 2.0 chargers have about 1.5A (1500mA) output and i imagine fast chargers have 2-3A output

If its got C, it will fast charge. As to how long it will work, THAT is dependent on the quality. Anker makes some of the best and most affordable cables. You dont need the most expensive cable just to charge.

Fast charge what device?
USB-C to USB-C or USB-A to USB-C?

Some cheap cables might not be rated for the watt throughput needed.

Yes, the source on how you charge it also affects it. Example: Plugging it into your laptop vs the wall outlet. The wall outlet will win.

Not really.

All depends on the laptop/Desktop

You can fast charge just as fast with a computer as the wall.
