High-power USB-C cable with PD 3.1 support to deliver up to 240W and 480Mbps data transfer. E-marker chip manages voltage and current while the cable does not support video output.


Blazing-Fast Charging - Thanks to PD 3.1 240W Support

PD 3.1 and QC 4.0+ compatibility negotiates voltages and currents up to 48V/5A, enabling power delivery up to 240W while remaining backward compatible with 140W modes. Power negotiation happens via the cable's protocol so host and accessory agree safe charging parameters.

Much faster replenishing of high-capacity laptop batteries, with a claimed full charge for a MacBook Pro 15 in around 60 minutes. Ideal for users who need quick top-ups between meetings and travel legs.

Safer Charging - With E-marker Chip and Built-in Protection

An integrated E-marker chip automatically adjusts output voltage and current to match device requirements and helps prevent over-current, overheat and short-circuit situations. The chip communicates power capability to chargers and hosts during connection.

Reduced risk of damage to batteries and chargers when swapping between phones, tablets and high-power laptops. Offers reassurance when using a single lead across multiple devices.

Durable and Portable - With Aluminium Alloy Shell and Nylon Jacket

Constructed with an aluminium alloy connector shell and a braided nylon jacket, the lead has passed 20,000+ bend tests and 10,000+ plug tests. The 2-metre length provides extra reach while remaining flexible enough to coil for storage.

Built to endure daily use and repeated plugging, offering reliable performance for commuters and office users. Long length makes desk and travel use more convenient without tugging sockets.
