Got Mine -- VERY Slow Synch w/ Belkin USB-C to A Cable

Got my new iPad Pro 12.9 today. Looks great, screen is awesome. However...I'm using a Belkin USB-C to USB-A cable as my home Mac where my backups and media are stored does not have USB-C. The sync is insanely slow. It took about 2 hours to restore the backup. My media (a fair amount of music and some movies) have now been going for more than an hour.

When I got my iPhone XS Max, the same content was synced via lightning cable in a fraction of the time.

Any ideas here? Is it the cable?

By the way, when the restore was happening, my Mac was very slowed down too.

Very odd.

I'm far from an expert but.. not all USB-C cables are the same just like there's a distinct difference in speed between Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C
