Know before you buy
Yes, these cables are Apple MFi-certified, which ensures they are fully compatible and safe to use with any Apple device equipped with a Lightning connector.
The 90-degree angle is specifically engineered to provide clearance when using charging cabinets or tight spaces, preventing the cable from bending sharply or putting strain on the port.
While they are optimized for charging cabinets, their 12.9-inch length and durable, abrasion-resistant jacket make them excellent for reducing clutter on desks or in bags. However, the short length may limit their reach if you need to use your device while it is plugged into a wall outlet.
These cables support data transfer rates of up to 480 Mbps and charging speeds of up to 2.1A, providing reliable performance for standard syncing and power delivery.
These cables are built for high-traffic environments and have been tested to withstand at least 10,000 cycles of 90-degree bends. The combination of a copper wire construction and an abrasion-resistant jacket makes them significantly more resilient than typical thin, plastic-coated cables.
