USB-C to Lightning 18 W PD cable

This USB-C to Lightning cable delivers up to 18 watts of Power Delivery for rapid charging of Apple iOS devices when paired with a compatible PD charger. It is Apple MFi certified and also handles data syncing between the device and a computer.

Practical limits of 18 W Power Delivery

The cable supports a maximum of 18 watts of Power Delivery, so devices capable of higher wattage fast charging will charge at this lower rate. A PD-compatible charger is required to reach the rated output and is not included with the cable.

Kevlar-reinforced durability tested to 50000 bends

The nylon-wrapped cable uses Kevlar reinforcement and aluminium connectors rated to withstand 30 lbf (130 N) of force, with strain reliefs tested beyond 50000 bend cycles for long-term reliability. Buyers who need a cable rated for higher charging wattages should consider other options.
