SKU CH-4649-5BZXQ

Two 12-inch MFi-certified USB-A to Lightning cables with nylon braiding for fast charging and 480 MB/s sync

  • Product typeLightning Cables
  • MFi certified for safe, warning-free charging
  • 12 inch length keeps car and power-bank setups tidy
  • Nylon braid resists fraying and daily wear
  • 4 A maximum current enables fast charging
  • 480 MB/s transfer speed syncs photos and files quickly

Ultra-Short Car Cable

This MCHOSE two-pack contains 12 inch USB A to Lightning cables built for tight spaces. MFi certification means they work with iPhone 14 13 12 11 Pro Max Mini Xs SE2 and iPad without warning messages. The short length suits car ports portable chargers and wall outlets where longer cords create clutter. They are not designed for charging from a floor socket to a bed or desk.

Thermals Power Draw

A 5V 2.4A input delivers the stated maximum charging rate while the built-in MFi chip manages trickle charging to prevent overheating and overcharging. The nylon braid adds physical protection without trapping heat during normal use. Data sync runs at 480MBPS so file transfers stay quick even on the compact 30cm run. No active cooling or large power brick is required.

Upgrade Path

These cables replace frayed or overly long Lightning leads that tangle in a centre console or power bank pouch. The jump is worth it when you need a reliable short link for CarPlay fast charging and sync without the bulk of a one metre cable. Buyers who need more reach for bedside or sofa use should look at a longer cord instead.

Questions about this item

How do I plug the 12-inch USB-A to Lightning cable into my car charger without damaging the port?

Insert the USB-A end straight into the 5V 2.4A car adapter until it clicks, then connect the Lightning end to the iPhone; forcing either connector at an angle bends the pins and triggers the MFi chip warning.

Will the nylon-braided 1ft cable need replacement if the braid frays near the Lightning plug?

The nylon sheath resists abrasion, but if fibres expose the inner conductors the MFi chip may cut power; replace the cable at that point to keep 5V 2.4A charging and 480MBPS sync reliable.

What stops the 12-inch cord from delivering 5V 2.4A during a long drive?

A charger rated below 5V 2.4A or a loose USB-A connection drops voltage first; the built-in MFi chip then limits current to protect the battery, so sustained fast charging requires a stable 5V 2.4A source.
