I. Core Attributes and Basic Parameters
Product Positioning
This magnetic data cable, designed specifically for iPad Pro, features dual charging and data syncing, eliminating the tangled cable problem of traditional cables. It combines portability and compatibility, making it suitable for everyday office work, travel, and more.
Charging Performance
Mainstream Power Coverage: The Type-C to Type-C interface is a mainstream specification, with power options of 60W, 100W, and 240W. 60W and above meet the iPad Pro's PD fast charging requirements, charging to 60% in 30 minutes.
Apple Restrictions: Lightning interface models are limited to 27W due to protocol limitations and are only compatible with older iPad Pro models.
Data Transfer Capacity
Supports USB 2.0 and above, with speeds up to 480Mbps. A 1GB video file can be transferred in approximately 30 seconds, meeting data synchronization and backup needs between iPad Pro and computers.
Materials and Durability
Cable: Mostly made of braided or liquid silicone material with a three-layer protective structure, it's stretch- and abrasion-resistant. Some styles feature a wire diameter twice as thick as the original cable, significantly extending its lifespan.
Connector: Unibody zinc alloy design with a built-in E-Marker smart chip for automatic device identification and stable output current, preventing short circuits and overcharging risks.
II. Key Compatibility Information
Device Compatibility
Core Compatibility: All USB-C iPad Pro models released after 2018 (including 11-inch and 12.9-inch models), compatible with M1/M2 chip models, such as the 2022 and 2024 iPad Pro models.
Extended Compatibility: Compatible with devices such as the iPhone 15 series, MacBooks, and Android phones. Some models support 28 fast charging protocols (such as PD3.1 and QC5.0).
Accessory Compatibility Requirements
Requires a PD fast charger that supports the corresponding power (e.g., 60W and above) for full charging speed.
The magnetic connector has no additional compatibility restrictions and does not require the removal of the iPad Pro case (non-magnetic shielding materials are sufficient).
III. Core Design and User Experience
Convenient Magnetic Design
Self-winding and self-folding: The cable is built with positive and negative magnetic powder or NdFeB permanent magnets. When placed down, it automatically snaps into a "donut" shape, folding away in 1 second to prevent tangling.
Flexible Attachment: Can attach to surfaces such as metal desks and car mounts for easy access. It can also be stored in pockets or backpacks when on the go, eliminating space.
Operational and Safety Details
Plug and Play: The magnetic connector snaps into place by simply aligning it with the iPad Pro USB-C port. It supports blind plugging and unplugging, eliminating the need to pull the cable.
Safety Protection: Equipped with a smart chip, it charges without pop-up notifications and does not damage battery health. Some models use LCP flame-retardant material to further reduce safety risks.
Precautions for Use
Avoid prolonged exposure to high temperatures to prevent degradation of the magnetic properties.
If transferring large files (such as ProRes videos), confirm that the cable supports the corresponding transmission protocol and prioritize models marked "High-Speed Data Sync."
