At a glance
This is a durable 3 m USB-A to Lightning cable designed for charging and syncing compatible iPhone devices. It suits users who need extra reach at a desk, bedside or lounge room and want better resistance to fraying from daily use. Key strengths are its long length, reinforced braided build and 5-year warranty. One limitation is that its 12 W charging support is modest compared with newer fast-charge cable setups.

Things to consider
It offers up to 12 W charging over USB-A, so it is less suitable than newer USB-C fast-charging cables for users wanting the quickest possible top-ups.
Fast charging suitability
Moderate - supports charging up to 12 W, which is suitable for standard iPhone charging but not ideal for newer high-speed charging setups
Multi-device compatibility
Limited to Lightning-equipped compatible iPhone devices and USB-A accessories
Travel suitability
6/10 - durable build is helpful, but the 3 m length is better for fixed locations than compact travel packing
Durability vs category average
9/10 - braided exterior, Kevlar reinforcement and alloy housing make it tougher than many standard charging cables
Ease of use score
9/10 - simple plug-and-play cable with a long reach that makes charging more convenient in everyday spaces

- Metallic Alloy Connector Housing: Provides a sturdier connector finish for frequent plugging and unplugging.

Q: Will this cable work with a USB-C charger?
A: No. This cable has a USB-A connection, so it plugs into USB-A chargers, computers and accessories, not USB-C ports. To use it with a USB-C only charger or laptop, you would need a separate adapter or a different cable type.
Q: Can I sync photos and music with this cable?
A: Yes. Cygnett's USB-A to Lightning cable supports data transfer at 480 Mbps when connected to a USB-A computer or accessory. It suits everyday syncing of photos, music and files, but not the higher-speed transfers offered by newer cable types.
Q: Does it fit newer iPhones that use USB-C ports?
A: No. This cable has a Lightning connector for compatible iPhone models, so it does not plug directly into newer iPhones with USB-C. It is better suited to older Lightning-based Apple devices and USB-A charging setups.
Q: Why choose a braided cable for daily charging?
A: The armoured braided design is built to resist fraying and wear from repeated bending better than a basic cable jacket. This Cygnett cable also uses metallic alloy connector housing and DuPont Kevlar aramid fibre for added reinforcement.
Q: Can I use it with a USB-A power bank?
A: Yes. This cable can charge a compatible iPhone from a power bank or charger that has a USB-A port. Charging performance is limited to the connection and the cable's 12W support, so it is not intended for higher-wattage USB-C charging systems.
