FUNCTIONALITY
How do the magnets help?The magnets help the cable coil and stay bundled, which can reduce tangles and make storage easier.
Do I need to fully uncoil the cable to charge a device?You do not always need to fully uncoil the cable to charge, but you may need to uncoil more length depending on how far your device is from the power source.
Why is my device charging slowly?Your device may charge slowly if your wall charger is low wattage, your device limits charging speed, or your device is being heavily used while charging.
Can I use it for syncing files between a phone and a computer?You can use the cable for syncing files, but transfer speeds are limited to USB 2.0.
Is this cable good for travel?This cable works well for travel because it packs neatly and supports high-wattage USB-C charging when paired with a compatible charger and device.
Will 240W fry my device?No, the cable will not force 240W into your device, and it will not “fry” it when used with a compatible USB-C Power Delivery (PD) charger. USB-C PD works by having the charger and your device communicate and agree on a safe power level, so your device only draws the wattage it supports.
