Apple 240W USB-C Woven Cable Review: Overbuilt for a Phone, Right for a Laptop

4.2 · Would Buy
TINY TECH BOX SCORE

Buy this cable for a MacBook Pro, not for your phone. Apple’s 240W USB-C Woven Cable is built to fast-charge a power-hungry laptop at the full 240W, in a woven jacket that holds up and a practical 2-metre length, with Apple’s warranty behind it.

It’ll charge a phone without any trouble, too. But for a phone on its own, it’s overbuilt and overpriced, and data only runs at USB 2.0 speed.

One-sentence verdict: Buy it if you want a genuine Apple cable that fast-charges a MacBook Pro as well as a phone, in a durable 2-metre length; skip it if you only charge a phone, want fast data transfer, or won’t pay $24.00 for a cable.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • ✓It carries the full 240W, so it really does fast-charge a MacBook Pro, and it handles a phone easily.
  • ✓The woven jacket is durable and feels nicer than rubber, and owners describe it as heavy-duty.
  • ✓2 metres is a practical length for a desk or the bedside.
  • ✓A genuine Apple cable with a one-year warranty and the cleanest returns process of any cable we cover.
Cons
  • ✗Data runs at USB 2.0 speed. Despite the price, there’s no fast file transfer and no video output.
  • ✗At $24.00, it costs several times as much as a two-pack of Anker charging cables.
  • ✗A minority of owners say it failed after around three months, though Apple’s warranty covers that.
  • ✗240W is overkill for anything but a power-hungry laptop. On a phone, it’s just an expensive charging cable.

The review

Design and build quality

It’s a white woven cable with chunky moulded connectors and an e-marker chip that unlocks the full 240W.

You can feel the jacket. It doesn’t kink or fray, and it feels as premium as the price suggests. What it doesn’t have is any data or video capability beyond USB 2.0, which is worth knowing before you buy it expecting a do-everything cable.

Setup and ease of use

Plug it in, and as long as the charger and the device on either end can handle it, the e-marker chip inside sorts out the wattage by itself without you having to think about it.

Performance

Power is the headline. It carries the full 240W over USB Power Delivery 3.1, which is enough for the fastest-charging laptops you can buy.

Data, on the other hand, is USB 2.0, while the connectors fit snugly and securely, and thanks to the weave, the cable stays flexible over time.

Compatibility

Durability and warranty

The woven jacket and moulded ends hold up well, and Apple’s one-year warranty covers the minority of cables that fail early. More than 9,000 buyers give it an average of 4.7 stars, and the main negative is a small pattern of failures at around three months.

Price and value

At $24.00, it’s priced as a premium cable that can charge a laptop, and that’s exactly what it is.

If you really do fast-charge a MacBook Pro, the price is defensible, because few cables carry the full 240W in a durable jacket with a warranty. If you only charge a phone, you’re paying a big premium for durability and a name, when an Anker two-pack ($9.99) charges your phone exactly the same. Fair under about $19.

For charging a phone, the Anker two-pack does exactly the same job for a fraction of the price. And if you want laptop-capable charging in something smaller for travel, the Baseus 100W retractable is an option, though its durability record is weaker.

Who should buy it?

Buy it if
  • ✓You fast-charge a MacBook Pro or another power-hungry laptop.
  • ✓You want a genuine Apple cable with a warranty, in a durable 2-metre length.
  • ✓You want one cable for both a laptop and a phone.
Skip it if
  • ✗You only charge a phone. An Anker two-pack ($9.99) does that just as well.
  • ✗You want fast data transfer or video output.
  • ✗$24.00 is more than you want to spend on a charging cable.

Final verdict

Right cable. Specific job. It fast-charges a MacBook Pro at the full 240W, the woven jacket holds up, and Apple’s one-year warranty stands behind it. It handles a phone without any effort as well, and 2 metres is a sensible length.

What you get for $24.00, though, is a charging cable with USB 2.0 data and no video output. For a power-hungry laptop? Worth it. If you only charge a phone, you’re paying several times the price of an Anker two-pack for exactly the same charging, plus a nicer jacket and a name.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. It carries the full 240W over USB Power Delivery 3.1, which is enough for the fastest-charging laptops.

No. Data runs at USB 2.0 speed, up to 480 Mbps, so think of it as a charging cable, not a data or video cable.

Yes, at full speed. But an Anker two-pack ($9.99) charges a phone exactly the same.

A minority say it failed after around three months. Apple’s one-year warranty covers a replacement through Apple Support.

2 metres, which reaches comfortably from a wall socket to a desk or a bedside table.

If you fast-charge a laptop, yes. If you only charge a phone, no. Spend much less on an Anker two-pack.
