118W USB-C GaN charger for laptops and phones

This 118W GaN charger delivers up to 96% charging efficiency for USB-C laptops, tablets, smartphones and the Nintendo Switch. Two ports and two included cables — a 6 ft USB-C to USB-C and a 3.28 ft USB-C to Lightning — let you power a laptop and a phone at the same time. The foldable plug makes it compact for travel or desk use.

Thermals, noise and power draw

GaN technology runs cooler than traditional silicon chargers, so the brick stays warm rather than hot during a full 118W load. No fan means completely silent operation. The unit draws only what the connected devices negotiate via PD 3.0, scaling down automatically to 20W, 30W, 61W, 87W or 96W profiles.

Upgrades from lower-wattage USB-C bricks

Replaces any 29W, 30W, 61W, 67W, 87W or 96W USB-C power adapter when you need one brick that covers a 16-inch MacBook Pro, a 13-inch MacBook Air, an iPad Pro 12.9 and an iPhone 14 series phone together. The jump is worth it if you carry multiple devices and want a single charger with cables included; it is not for users who only ever charge a single low-power phone or who need more than two simultaneous ports.

Questions about this item

How do I install the IOGEAR 118W GaN charger and what step do people often miss?

Unfold the plug, insert it into a wall outlet, then connect the included 6 ft USB-C to USB-C cable to your laptop and the 3.28 ft USB-C to Lightning cable to an iPhone; the step often missed is ensuring each device negotiates the correct PD profile — 118 W for the laptop and 20 W for the phone — so both charge at full speed.

What maintenance or replacement will the IOGEAR 118W charger and its cables need later?

The braided nylon cables are tested to over 10000 bends for a 4× longer lifespan, but inspect them periodically for fraying or connector looseness; replace a cable if the sheath splits or charging becomes intermittent, while the GaN charger itself has no user-serviceable parts and requires no routine maintenance.

What limit appears first on the IOGEAR 118W charger during sustained high-power use?

The charger’s smart chip enforces temperature protection, so under continuous 118 W load the thermal limit triggers first, reducing output until the unit cools; this auto-recovery behaviour protects the charger but caps sustained maximum power.
