Would an upgraded cable be of any benefit?

I could not find this question discussed previously.
My mavic 2 controller has a black type A USB. I believe this is what is known as a USB 2 standard. Is there any advantage in using a cable rated for higher amps or speeds, like the blue plugs (USB 3 and 3.1) and the latest 5A purple type A plugs?

If it’s the cable as supplied with your drone I would not have thought so but interested to hear a more technical pro/con comment.

The controller and phone talk on a serial bus. Any functional cable allows that and won't perform any differently than a high end cable.

There's no harm, but unnecessary.

Also, the stock cable is a OTG.

I bought my Mavic 2 Pro November 2019 and the factory cable that came with it was blue, I only use it with my tablet and have no problems

Ok thanks.
