What to Compare Before Buying
- Connector type: This cable is USB-C to USB-A, so both devices must use those connection types.
- Charging requirement: The stated charging limit is 15W (5V/3A). Check that this meets your device’s needs.
- Data speed: It supports up to 5Gbps, which matters if you regularly move photos, music or other files.
- Length: 1.8 m gives more reach than a shorter cable, but only if that length suits your setup.
- Included version: Confirm the selected cable length and colour before choosing an offer.
What Else You May Need
You will need devices, chargers or ports with the matching USB-C and USB-A connection types. For iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro models, the stated note says the case may need to be removed to charge.
Before You Decide
Confirm the USB-C to USB-A connection type, 1.8 m length and 15W charging limit before choosing an offer. If you need a different connector type or higher charging output, look for a different cable version.
