USB-C, Lightning & Fast Charging Cables
Quick answer: Choose a charging cable by connector type, supported power, data capability, length and the exact device you want to connect. A cable marked 60W, 100W or 240W does not make a phone charge beyond its own supported limit, and some high-power cables may require an e-marker.

What do 60W, 100W and 240W cable ratings mean?
The wattage is the cable’s supported power ceiling under the relevant USB-C specification. It does not promise that every connected device will charge at that rate. The charger, cable and device must all support the required power and protocol.
What is an e-marker?
An e-marker is an identification chip used by some high-power USB-C cables to communicate cable capabilities. It matters when the cable is intended for higher-power USB-C charging or advanced USB-C use cases.
What should you verify before buying?
- The connector at both ends.
- Your device’s charging input and supported protocol.
- The charger’s output.
- The cable’s rated power and whether an e-marker is required.
- Required length and whether the cable will be used for data or video.
- The exact model number and warranty terms shown on the product page.

Frequently asked questions
Why does a USB-C cable charge slowly?
The cable may have a lower power rating, the charger may not support the device’s protocol, the device may limit charging, or temperature and battery level may reduce the rate.
Can a 240W cable damage a phone?
The rating indicates the cable’s maximum supported power. A compatible phone, charger and cable negotiate the required power.
Is a charging cable automatically a fast data cable?
No. Charging capacity and data-transfer capability are separate specifications.
