Anker seems to be on the verge of introducing a new charging cable to the market. A product labeled USB-C to USB-C Cable 544 Bio-Nylon (0.9m) in black has been spotted on Amazon Germany. Additionally, this accessory is also listed with third-party sellers like RedShell in the Netherlands.
Durable Design with Enhanced Features
The Anker 544 USB-C to USB-C cable builds upon the previous 543 model, which also had a similar bio-nylon design. However, the new version is claimed to endure up to 30,000 bends, compared to the earlier model's 20,000-bend capacity. According to the Amazon listing, the 544 supports 140W+ charging, allowing a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra to reach 65% battery in just 30 minutes. In contrast, the 543 is noted as a 240W cable, capable of charging a MacBook Air 15 (M2) to 50% in 34 minutes.
Pricing and Market Speculation
The product page from a third-party seller, ZAR Systems, on Amazon Germany suggests that the Anker 544 USB-C to USB-C Cable Bio-Nylon (0.9m) will be priced at €55, with expected shipping in the upcoming weeks. However, considering that the older Anker 543 USB-C to USB-C Cable (240W, Bio) of the same length is available for €11.99, this pricing info may not be accurate. It remains uncertain if other sizes and colors of this cable will be released, and it's also unknown whether the product will be available in other regions such as the US or UK.
Anker through Amazon and RedShell has left many questions unanswered regarding the upcoming cable's release.
