Certified Apple Lightning Cable

This Monoprice Lightning to USB-C cable carries Apple MFi certification for full iOS compatibility. The 1.5 foot length suits tight spaces such as car mounts or desktop setups. Gold-plated connectors rated at 50 microns resist corrosion over time. Power Delivery support reaches 18 watts with a compatible charger.

iPhone Users Needing Short MFi Cable

Ideal for iPhone owners who want a certified short cable for fast charging and data sync. The reversible USB-C plug works with modern PD chargers and laptops. Buyers who need a longer reach for bedside or sofa use should look at something else. Anyone requiring a USB-A connector will not be served by this model.

18W Power Delivery Over USB-C

The single specification that decides fit is the 18 watt Power Delivery rating over USB-C. Your charger must support USB-C PD at 18W or higher to reach the maximum charging speed. Without a PD source the cable falls back to standard USB rates. Verify your power adapter before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the 50 µm gold-plated Lightning connector wear out and need replacing?

The 50 µm gold plating resists corrosion and rust, so the connector should not degrade under normal daily use.

Does the 3.6 A current rating limit how fast my iPhone can charge?

The cable supports up to 18 W Power Delivery; the 3.6 A rating is the cable's maximum capacity and will not throttle standard iPhone charging speeds.

Does the 1.5 ft cable get warm when charging at 18 W for hours?

The short 1.5 ft length and 24 AWG conductors keep resistance low, so the cable stays cool during extended 18 W charging sessions.
