Cable linked isn't equivalent. Bought two of those thinking it was the same. It has AWG28 charging wires, therefore it allows maximum of 800-900mA, where stock cable with the right charger would give you twice more.
I'm using Galaxy S4 charger (2A output) and S4 cable at work and it charges my N5 even faster than the OEM charger (takes about 90 minutes to fully charge from 20%).
Well the stock N5 Charger is a 1.2A charger the S4 Charger is a 2A charger so it'll charge higher.
I decided to do a little fact finding of my own when I was looking at MmmmBacon's Tilted Charger review and he mentioned the difficulty of having a good USB cable. I have several different chargers and cables at my disposal and did a quick test on them. I will try to see about organizing them into a post but I don't really have the time to keep updating it past my initial findings.
But what I have so far is.

That's just what's around me at the moment. I tested some stuff at home and found interesting results as well.
MmmmBacon also mentioned the Monoprice Premium USB Cables are a good buy and provide high current. I can't vouch for that but I'll take his word for it since he seems to have done this as well.
