Know before you buy
This cable works with any device featuring a USB-C port, including smartphones, tablets, MacBooks, Ultrabooks, and Chromebooks. It connects these devices to standard USB-A ports found on computers, wall chargers, or car adapters.
This cable is built for heavy use, featuring a double-braided nylon jacket and an internal core reinforced with UHMWPE and Aramid fiber. These materials provide significantly higher resistance to fraying and breakage compared to standard PVC cables.
Yes, the cable supports simultaneous charging and data synchronization. It operates at USB 2.0 speeds, which allows for data transfer rates up to 480 Mbps.
Yes, the USB-C connector is designed to be reversible, meaning you can plug it into your device in either orientation without needing to check which side is up.
The three-foot length is ideal for desktop setups, car charging, or connecting to a laptop where you want to minimize excess cable clutter. If you need to charge a device while sitting across the room, you may find this length limiting.
The integral strain relief is a reinforced section at the base of the connectors that helps absorb stress when the cable is bent or pulled. This design feature prevents the internal wires from snapping, which is a common point of failure in charging cables.
