Anker launches more powerful USB-C to USB-C cable

Anker has launched the USB-C to USB-C Cable (240W, Silicone) in the US and the EU. The new accessory is an upgraded version of the 643 USB-C to USB-C Cable (Flow, Silicone), with the same soft silicone cable and copper accents.

The new USB-C to USB-C Cable is available in two lengths: 3 ft/90 cm and 6 ft/180 cm. Like its predecessor, the accessory is said to withstand up to 25,000 bends or an up to 220 lbs (~100 kg) load, with the silicone finish making it tangle-resistant. The main difference between the two versions is with the charging. The original model supports a 100W output, while the upgraded cable allows you to charge devices at 240W. According to Anker, you can charge a MacBook Pro 16 (M3 Pro) to 50% in 26 minutes with this power. Both models have a 480 Mbps data transfer rate and come with an 18-month warranty.

You can now buy the Anker USB-C to USB-C Cable (3 ft, 240W, Silicone) and the Anker USB-C to USB-C Cable (6 ft, 240W, Silicone) for $16.99/€16.99 and $18.99/€18.99, respectively. In the US, this makes them only slightly more expensive than the older 100W versions, which are currently available for $15.99 and $17.99, respectively. In the EU, the 100W models are priced at €12.99 and €19.99.
