FAQ
What devices can this 240W USB-C cable charge?
This cable is designed to charge high-performance laptops and mobile workstations that support USB Power Delivery 3.1 EPR, including 16-inch MacBook Pro models with M-series processors. It also charges tablets, smartphones, power banks, and other USB-C PD-enabled devices. The cable is compatible with wall chargers, car chargers, and USB hubs that implement USB PD standards.
Does this cable support data transfer along with charging?
Yes, the cable supports USB 2.0 data transfer at 480 Mbit/s for basic file synchronization and peripheral connectivity while delivering power. This allows you to transfer files or connect devices like external storage while charging your laptop or other USB-C devices through the same cable connection.
What does USB-IF certification mean for this charging cable?
USB-IF certification guarantees the cable meets all USB specification requirements for safety, performance, and compatibility. Certified cables undergo rigorous testing to ensure proper power delivery, device communication, and electrical characteristics. This certification means the cable will work reliably with USB-C hosts and peripherals from different manufacturers without compatibility issues.
How durable is the dual-layer silicone/braided construction?
The dual-layer construction combines a flexible silicone inner jacket that withstands frequent -/+90° bends without damage, and a tough braided nylon exterior that resists abrasion, fraying, and general wear.
