Anker USB-C to USB-C Cable (6 ft, 240W, Upcycled-Braided) brings high-wattage USB-C Power Delivery charging to Samsung phones, USB-C laptops and tablets with a longer, roughly 6 ft cord that suits couch, desk or bedside charging setups. With a maximum output of 240W and a rated bend lifespan of over 30,000 cycles, it targets users who want a single cable that can handle everything from Galaxy S-series phones to MacBook-class notebooks while promising long-term durability.
High Power 240W USB-C Charging
The upcycled-braided Anker cable identified by model number A82E2 is specified with a maximum output of 240W, pairing 48V and 5A under USB Power Delivery Extended Power Range, so it can support chargers and devices that negotiate high-wattage charging for laptops and high-end phones.Anker lists this maximum 240W output and USB-C to USB-C type.
According to the same specifications, the cable is offered in 3 ft and 6 ft lengths; the 6 ft version closely matches the 2 m class requested for roomier setups and is built as a USB-C to USB-C link that supports 480 Mbps USB 2.0 data transfer while focusing primarily on power delivery.The product page specifies 3 ft and 6 ft lengths plus 480 Mbps transfer.
Durability and Upcycled-Braided Design
Anker emphasizes longevity by rating this upcycled-braided USB-C cable for over 30,000 bends, a figure that places it in the durable accessory segment for users who keep cables plugged in and moving between bags, desks and bedside tables.The manufacturer quotes a bend lifespan of over 30,000 cycles.
The cable uses a braided outer jacket made from post-consumer recycled nylon and ships with plastic-free packaging, aligning it with accessory lines that stress reduced environmental impact without changing the underlying USB-C to USB-C electrical design.Anker describes it as an upcycled-braided cable with plastic-free packaging.
Official Anker 240W Cable Details
For full specifications, color options and current pricing of the 240W upcycled-braided USB-C cable, Anker provides a detailed overview on its site.
Compatibility With Samsung and Other USB-C Devices
The Anker A82E2 cable is positioned as a general USB-C charging cable for phones, tablets and laptops, with explicit compatibility listings that include Samsung Galaxy Note10, Note9 and Note8, as well as Samsung Galaxy S23, S22, S21, S20 and S10 families, placing it squarely in the ecosystem for Samsung Android smartphones that use USB-C charging.The compatibility list names multiple Samsung Galaxy Note and S-series models.
Beyond Samsung, the same compatibility sheet covers iPhone 15 and iPhone 16 series with USB-C ports, MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models, iPad Pro, iPad Air and iPad mini, plus Windows ultraportables such as Lenovo Yoga 14s, Lenovo ThinkPad X1 series and HP Spectre notebooks, making the 240W cable a cross-platform option that can be reused across different USB-C devices.The listed fully compatible devices include iPhone, MacBook and Windows laptops.
Price and Retail Positioning
On Anker's own site, the Anker USB-C to USB-C Cable (3 ft / 6 ft, 240W, Upcycled-Braided) carries a list price of $19.99 for a single unit, with a bulk discount price of $12.99 each for orders of 10 or more, giving a clear sense of its placement as a midrange USB-C cable in the US accessory market as of 09/02/2026.The product page lists a $19.99 price and bulk discount.
A comparable 6 ft 240W USB-C to USB-C cable from the same brand, sold in white at a major US retailer, is priced at $22.99, indicating that a 240W-certified USB-C cable with a 6 ft length and 240W Power Delivery rating typically sits in the upper teens to low twenties range in US dollars.One US retailer lists a 6 ft 240W Anker USB-C cable at $22.99.
How It Compares to Other USB-C Cables
Compared with lower-wattage USB-C cables rated at 60W or 100W, the 240W Anker A82E2 cable supports more demanding combinations of voltage and current that better match modern high-performance laptops and future USB-C devices, while still maintaining a USB 2.0 data rate of 480 Mbps rather than stepping up to full USB 3.x bandwidth.Anker describes its USB-C to USB-C cables as supporting up to 240W charging with USB 2.0 speeds.
Within Anker's own lineup, a 6 ft 60W braided USB-C to USB-C cable sold through US retail channels sits at around the mid-teens price point, while the 240W braided cable at $19.99 on Anker's site, and roughly $22.99 in a US store, carries a modest premium that reflects its higher power rating and enhanced bend lifespan of over 30,000 cycles versus more basic cables.US retail listings show lower-wattage cables priced below the 240W model.
Use Cases, Limits and Verdict
For users who own a mix of Samsung Galaxy phones, USB-C iPhones and USB-C laptops, the Anker USB-C to USB-C Cable (6 ft, 240W, Upcycled-Braided) fits as a single cable that can move between a high-wattage wall charger, a desk setup and a travel bag while staying within the 240W USB-C Power Delivery envelope and offering a rated bend lifespan above 30,000 cycles to withstand frequent plugging and bending.The core specs focus on 240W charging and long bend life.
The main limitation compared with full USB4 or Thunderbolt 4 cables is the USB 2.0-level 480 Mbps data rate and the lack of video output support, which means it is best deployed as a charging-first accessory rather than as a single-cable dock connection for high-bandwidth displays and storage; within that use case, however, its 240W ceiling, Samsung and laptop compatibility and midrange price make it a practical option for US buyers who prioritize high power and durability over data throughput.
