Anker has introduced a new, longer version of its 2-in-1 USB-C to USB-C Cable. The first model was the company’s first attempt at this type of accessory and was launched globally last June. Anker stated that this product was designed for travelers and aimed to keep workspaces organized.
New Length and Features
A new iteration has recently been listed on Amazon in Germany. The previous version of the Anker 2-in-1 USB-C to USB-C Cable measured 4 ft (or 120 cm) and came in two colors: black and white. The new model boasts a longer length of 180 cm (approximately 6 ft) and is offered in the same two color options. The extra length comes from the base cable, which has been extended from 90 cm (around 3 ft) to 150 cm (about 5 ft). The upper segments remain at a length of up to 30 cm (nearly 1 ft), and users can adjust this length using a cable slider.
Performance and Durability
Other than the increased length, both versions of the 2-in-1 nylon braided cable look the same. They can deliver a maximum power output of 140W when charging one device, which Anker claims could charge a MacBook Pro 16 (M3 Pro) up to 50% in just 20 minutes. When charging two devices at once, the maximum output is limited to 130W, with the distribution depending on the devices connected (see table below). Additionally, the cable is touted to endure up to 10,000 bends.
Pricing and Availability
The new Anker 2-in-1 USB-C to USB-C Cable (180 cm, 140W, Braided) is priced at €21.99 on Amazon Germany, which is €2 higher than the original 120 cm model. It remains uncertain when this longer version will be available in other regions such as the US and UK, where the previous model is being sold.
