Nekmit USB-C to Lightning MFI Certified PD Fast Charging Cable 6.6FT

We like how durable the cable is and we needed a USB-C cable for a new wall charger we purchased. So far this has been great for our iPhones.

Not quite the quality of some higher priced cords, but this is still MFI certified. It really does work fine with my iPhone. Great price for what it offers.

But thats JustMe. (I received this product in exchange for an honest review, and that is what I have offered here.)

Pros:
? High quality, 2m/6.6-foot cable
? Works well for both charging and data transfer
? Includes rubberized reusable cable tie
? Has strain relief ends on both connectors
? No unsupported accessory errors on iPhone 12 Pro

Cons:
? Lightning connector contacts appear to be silver/tin not gold plated
? Strain relief is fairly rigid and it is mostly the cable that bends at ends

This Nekmit USB-C to Lightning cable appears to be of good quality. The cable is a fabric with a black and white herringbone pattern. It appears durable, while still being flexible. It is thicker than most cables, but not overly so. It is nice and long at over 6 feet. Testing shows it works properly.

I tried charging an iPhone 12 Pro with iOS 15.3. It worked perfectly, with no unsupported accessory errors. I verified that it did properly work with USB-C Power Delivery, and the iPhone when the iPhone battery was at 67% and the charger negotiated to 9V. I tried multiple USB-C chargers and they all eventually negotiated to around 9V with this cable (8.91 to 8.97V), at between 1.3 to 1.5A and between 12 and 13 Watts. I was not able to measure at the lightning connector to actually measure cable Voltage drop, but it seems to work just fine.

I also verified that it worked for data transfer/sync. I connected the iPhone 12 Pro to an M1 MacBook Air, and data transfer worked fine. The cable negotiated as 480 Mbps, or USB 2/3 High Speed.

One thing I did notice is that the exposed contacts on the lightning connector are silver in color and are likely tin/silver plated. Many cables are the same, but gold-plated contacts are better and many cables provide this. I have provided a picture comparing the contacts on this cable with an Amazon Basics cable that does have gold plated contacts. This will likely be fine unless you are using the cable in a very corrosive environment, such as around salt spray on a boat or beach. Even some premium cables dont provide gold plated contacts, so this isnt bad or unusual. Gold can provide slightly lower contact resistance as well, but the difference is also not going to be significant as compared to the wire resistance of a 2m cable.

There is a reusable white rubber cable tie attached to the cable. It is the type with a pin and holes in the rubber band.

The cable comes packaged in a basic cardboard box with the typical white plastic bag inside. It is easy to open and minimal plastic waste.

Very sturdy and durable. Works just like the original apple charger just longer.

For an off brand charger this worked very well. It does hold in place when you plug it in. I've experienced others that haven't done this, so a point for this charger. The length is what it states, so make sure that you need all of the this. It is pretty heavy duty, so need to worry if this will be in a heavy traffic area. Should hold up for quite some time.

Make sure to note that is a lightning charger.

Works very well. I have not noted anything special as far as speed, but it does do what it's supposed to!
