1 / 6Anker A81C6011 USB-C Cable, 240W, 1.8 m
Anker A81C6011 is a braided USB-C to USB-C cable rated for charging up to 240W and data transfer at 480 Megabits Per Second. Its 1.8 m length gives room to position a charging block, while the stated data rate and lack of video output make it a charging and basic data cable rather than a display connection.
At a glance
- USB-C male connectors at both ends for compatible USB-C devices.
- The listing claims charging up to 240W, subject to the charger and device supporting the required power.
- 1.8 m length can make it easier to place a charging block away from the device.
- Braided nylon construction, with a manufacturer-claimed 10,000-bend lifespan based on internal lab testing.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Long 1.8 m length offers more placement flexibility than a short lead.
- Braided nylon construction and the stated USB-IF specification may suit buyers seeking a cable for regular charging use.
- Supports charging and data transfer for USB-C smartphones, tablets and laptops.
Cons
- Data transfer is listed at 480 Megabits Per Second, so this is not a high-speed data cable.
- It does not support video output, limiting its use for USB-C display connections.

What to know before buying
- The 240W figure is a cable rating, not a promise that every connected device will charge at that power. Actual charging depends on the device and power supply. The stated 42% MacBook Pro 16-inch charge in 30 minutes is a manufacturer claim and not a universal result.
Listing details to confirm
The listing identifies the product as A81C6011 in its model-name field but gives A81C6 as the model elsewhere. It also describes the cable as 6 ft in feature text while the listed length is 180 Centimeters, and says the bend-life claim is based on internal testing. Confirm the selected variant and exact model if those details matter. The stated USB-IF compliance is a listing claim.

Frequently asked questions
Can this cable charge at 240W?
The listing rates it for 240W charging. The connected charger and device must also support the required power, so the rating does not guarantee 240W charging with every setup.

No. The listing explicitly says this cable does not support video output.
How fast is data transfer?
The listed data transfer rate is 480 Megabits Per Second.
How long is the cable?
The technical details list 180 Centimeters. Feature text also calls it 6 ft, so check the selected listing if exact length matters.
