The integrated LCD display shows the current charging power in watts directly on the cable connector. At a glance, you'll know whether your setup is charging at base power or making use of higher speeds. It's handy when comparing chargers, laptop ports, power banks and different cables. The display doesn't show the battery percentage, but the power that's actually flowing through the cable — which is far more useful when hunting for the weak link in the charging chain.

The cable contains an E-Mark chip, which is essential for high-power cables. The source and connected device get information about the current and charging profile the cable can safely handle, so the correct power level is set. That's what enables stable charging of higher-power devices without unnecessary throttling. You'll only hit the maximum 240 W in combination with an adapter and device that both support the matching PD 3.1 profile.

The cable is designed for USB-C devices, so a single cable can charge and connect a modern laptop, tablet, phone or power bank. That's practical especially when you don't want to carry several different cables for different types of electronics. USB-C on both ends also matches the current trend of higher-power adapters and laptop charging inputs.

A length of 1.5 m gives you more room than the standard 1 m cables, so the cable better suits charging a laptop on a desk, a phone next to your bed or a tablet on the couch. At the same time, it isn’t excessively long and won’t tangle unnecessarily when traveling. A weight of 47 g remains reasonable for everyday carry in a bag or backpack.
