This seems like a question for someone who has the sufficient knowledge to answer so that you aren't electrocuted.

I'll bow out.

My Google research suggests it would be ok. I've had the cable ages but never used it in the mains because I assumed it would be dangerous

When you say 'connect it to the mains', do you mean one of those wall sockets with USB ports on them, or a mains charger with a USB output? If so, then yes, as they have a transformer and rectifier in them.

2.4A is not too bad. Some cheap chargers are only 1A.

Yes, it'll be fine. I bought a couple of £2 cables from Wilko and they function ok.

Yes, just the fast charger might not be quite so fast.

Aren’t the fast charge ones higher voltage/amp

Higher maximum current (amperage). Altho it will run at a lower rate* if the equipment (e.g. the cable) does not allow faster.

* Current is actually drawn by whatever is using it, not pushed by the source.
