Apple USB-C to Lightning Cable (1m) is Apple’s official charging and syncing cable, designed for devices with Lightning ports (pre-iPhone 15 series). It’s a reliable, MFi-certified option (Made for iPhone/iPad) that ensures full compatibility without warnings, fast charging support, and safe performance.
Key Features and Specifications
- Length: 1 meter (approximately 3.3 feet / 3ft).
- Connectors: USB-C (one end) to Lightning (other end). The USB-C end plugs into modern chargers, Macs, or iPads with USB-C ports; Lightning end fits iPhone/iPad/AirPods cases.
- Charging: Supports fast charging on compatible iPhones (e.g., iPhone 8 and later up to ~50% in 30 minutes with a 18W+ Apple USB-C adapter) and iPads. Works with Apple’s 18W, 20W, 29W, 30W, 61W, 87W, or 96W USB-C Power Adapters (adapter sold separately). Standard charging on lower-power sources.
- Data Transfer/Syncing: USB 2.0 speeds (up to 480 Mbps) for syncing photos, music, or backing up to a Mac/PC with USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 ports, or importing to USB-C iPads.
- Build Quality: Durable white rubberized/smooth cable (not braided in the standard model), with reinforced connectors for everyday use. It’s slim and flexible, though not as tangle-resistant as braided third-party options.
- Compatibility: Works with iPhone (5 through 14 series), iPad (various models with Lightning), iPod touch, AirPods/AirPods Pro (charging case), Siri Remote, and more. Not needed for iPhone 15/16 series (which use USB-C natively). No video output or high-speed data like USB 3.
- Other Notes: Model often MUQ93AM/A (or regional variants like MK0X2). It’s plug-and-play, no extra apps needed. Apple-designed for reliability—avoids cheap knockoff issues like overheating or slow charging.
This is the go-to official cable if you have older Lightning devices and USB-C chargers (e.g., newer MacBooks, power banks, or car adapters). It’s pricier than third-party MFi cables but offers peace of mind with full Apple support.
