Can I use a 100W charging cable with my iPhone 11 Pro Max?

I’ve got an iPhone 11 Pro Max and i scored a new 100 watt charging cable with digital read out and 3 different cables coming out of one end for iPhone, USB, Samsung, some games. etc….

My wall charger is only a

20 watt,

I imagine the 100 watt cable should be ok as the 20 watt charger can’t put out more than 20 watts or can it ?

Basically should I use this cable as it’s 100 watts and I don’t want to do any damage to my phone or battery.

Thanx in advance guys for reading this.

Even better If I get an answer. Jax.

Correct.

Correct

It is impossible to overcharge the battery on your iPhone with a 100 Watt adapter, assuming that the adapter is working correctly, because the phone will only draw as much power as it needs.

the only reason 100watt is stated for a cable is that, they guarantee that you can draw enough current using the cable to 100wat without the current melting the cable, think your wristwatch says "down to 100 meter" they mean it's safe for you to go down to that depth, no that putting on your watch will send you down there.
