Anker releases new tougher Prime 240W USB-C to USB-C Cable
Anker has launched the Prime USB-C to USB-C Cable (240W, Upcycled-Braided) in countries worldwide. The accessory is offered in two lengths, 3ft (0.9m) and 6 ft (1.8m). A notable feature is its durability, with Anker suggesting the new model is eight times tougher than its predecessors.
The Prime USB-C to USB-C cable is said to withstand over 300,000 bends, which Anker estimates equals a lifetime of 100 years. According to Anker, the 240W power could charge a MacBook Pro 16 (M3 Pro) to 50% in 26 minutes, though it notes that the cable does not support screen mirroring. The upcycled element of the cable refers to the 100% post-consumer recycled material used for the external braiding. Plus, the cable is expected to operate for over 72 hours at temperatures ranging from 40°F to 176°F (~-40 to 80°C).
You can now order the 3ft (0.9m) and 6 ft (1.8m) Prime USB-C to USB-C Cable (240W, Upcycled-Braided) for $29.99/£19.99/€24.99 and $34.99/£22.99/€29.99, respectively. US customers should note that, due to a high volume of orders, any purchases of the 6 ft (1.8m) version made after August 8th will ship between August 20th and 25th. No such issues have been reported for those in Europe.
