Overview
A 6-foot, MFi-certified USB-C to Lightning cable with a braided nylon jacket, built by Anker for iPhone charging and syncing over a longer reach than the stock 1-meter cable.
The nylon braid and fiber core target the usual failure point on Lightning cables, fraying near the connector, with a stated 12,000-bend rating. Paired with an 18W or higher USB-C Power Delivery charger, Anker claims it can bring an iPhone to 58 percent in 30 minutes, though that speed depends on the charger, which is not included. At 6 feet it reaches further than the 1-meter stock cable for couch or bedside use.
- 6 ft (1.8m) braided nylon cable
- MFi certified USB-C to Lightning connector
- Rated for up to 12,000 bends
- Up to 58% charge in 30 min with an 18W-plus PD charger
Who it's for
IPhone 8-through-14-series owners who want a longer, more durable Lightning cable and already own a fast USB-C charger. Not for iPhone 15 and later, which moved to USB-C on the phone itself.
Pros and cons
- MFi certified for reliable iPhone charging
- Braided nylon jacket resists fraying
- 6 ft length reaches beyond the stock 1m cable
- Fast-charge speed requires a separate PD charger
- Lightning connector will not fit USB-C iPhones
Performance notes
Charging speed is set by the charger, not the cable, so the 58 percent in 30 minutes figure only applies with an 18W-plus Power Delivery adapter. The nylon exterior and reinforced core target the bending and cracking that tends to happen at the connector joint, and MFi certification means it should charge and sync without the compatibility warnings some third-party cables trigger.
