MFI Certified USB-C to Lightning Cable

99% EXCELLENT

Enjoy a MFI certified 80-inches long USB-C to Lightning Cable with rigid USB-C and Lightning Prongs, secure metallic collars, durable rubberized neck segments, and a sleek braided cable. Fast charging, inexpensive, and dependable! The only thing holding it back from a perfect 10 was the lack of cable management features.

Charging cable provides optimized power for your iPhone and AirPods Pro

With the recent European Union mandate, producers of mobile electronic devices must provide a USB-C charging port on all devices by the fall of 2024.  As more tech moves to the USB-C standard, I expect most global producers will transition away from non-USB-C options. 

Thus, it will likely cost more for Apple to maintain lightning charging in some regions while others move to USB-C.  Since my MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, and daughter’s iPad mini generation 5 already utilize USB-C, Apple will likely release USB-C-powered AirPods Pro generation 2, AirPods Max generation 2, and various iPhone models.

UGREEN USB-C to Lightning PD Charging Cable

Until a single standard is adopted, we can either carry multiple charging bricks/cables, USB hubs, or choose a single style of charging brick with dongles/adapters.  The UGREEN USB-C to Lightning PD Fast Charging Cable arrived in a 3 3/16 inches wide by 6 3/4 inches tall by 11/16 inches thick retail package. 

The bold hunter green product name was displayed atop the clean white cover panel, while the Made for iPhone/iPad/iPod logo, and ink outline of the UGREEN cable were displayed on the remainder of the panel.  The rear panel provided a paragraph about the MFI moniker, listed the various devices that charge via lightning, added an SKU barcode, listed address/contact information (www.UGREEN.com), and manufacturing labels. The remaining panels were left unadorned.

I lifted the top panel, slid the plastic-wrapped cable from the outer shell, and perused the included User Instruction manual (WEEE information, FCC statement, 2-year limited Warranty Information, and IC statement).  I removed the 2.3-ounce, 80-inches long, black-braided cable from the bag, and evaluated the product. 

The lightning cable end measured 1 3/16 inches long and had a 1/4 inches long lightning prong, a 9/16 inches long by 3/8 inches wide by 1/4 inches thick grey-colored metallic mid-segment, and a tapering 7/16 inches long black-colored rubberized neck segment.  The USB-C end had a 1/4 inches long prong, a 5/8 inches long by 7/16 inches wide by 1/4 inches thick metallic segment, and a 7/16 inches long black rubberized neck segment. 

Both of the metallic collars had UGREEN printed on one of the sides.  Lastly, the firm, round-braided mid-section did not easily bend, kink, or knot, and appeared to adequately protect the internal wiring.   

To test the strength of the cable, I tested each segment and end prong independently.  I gripped the USB-C prong with one hand, the metallic body with the other and I bent/tugged on the prong several times.  I plugged the USB-C cable into an appropriate hub and found the cable did fine with bending and pressing it into/out of the slot several times.

The sturdy metallic collar remained affixed to the body and the prong did not budge.  Next, I gripped the collar and the neck segments and tugged at the junction.  Like the previous test, the collar remained affixed and the cable remained fully intact.  I gripped the rubber neck segment and the braided cable and bent the section forward/backward twenty-five times, then side to side an additional twenty-five times.

I was pleased with the design and with the rigid structure.  To finalize the testing, I repeated the above steps with the Lightning end and found the same results as mentioned above.

UGREEN USB-C to Lightning PD Charging Cable

To test the power output, I plugged a Klein Tools Multimeter into an Apple USB-C wall charger and the USB-C prong into the adapter.  I plugged the lightning end into my iPhone 13 Pro Max and found the multimeter displayed 8.84V/1.96A, while my phone displayed 8% at 10:35 PM.  By 10:51 the iPhone was at 30%, by 11:00 at 44%, by 11:08 at 54%, and by 11:23 it was at 71%. 

By 11:35 PM the iPhone entered into the Optimized Battery charging and mentioned that it would finish by 3:30 am.  I let the phone trickle beyond the 80% charge and found it fully charged when I awoke in the morning.  Neither the cable nor the power block felt hot to the touch and the phone charged at optimal rates.

I had no issue with data transfer and found the cable met my everyday carry needs/expectations.  The only thing that I felt was missing was a cable management strap/tie like the Kick Power USB-C to Lightning cable. Nevertheless, I found the USB-C to Lightning cable to be an amazing partner for my MOMAX Q Power Touch 10,000 mAh Battery.
