USB C to Lightning Cable 3FT 2Pack [Apple MFi Certified] Fast Charging
- Lightning Cable
A straightforward MFi-certified cable pack that only makes sense if your iPhone still has a Lightning port, since the 15, 16, and 17 series switched to USB-C.

Overview
A 2-pack of MFi certified USB-C to Lightning cables at 3 feet, built for Power Delivery fast charging and rated to withstand over 25,000 bend cycles, for iPhone 8 through 14 and older Lightning-based iPads.
The listing draws a clear line buyers need to see: this fits iPhone 14 and earlier, not the 15, 16, or 17 series, since those switched to USB-C ports. MFi certification and the C94 connector matter here because uncertified Lightning cables can trigger charging warnings or fail sooner.
- USB-C to Lightning, MFi certified, 2-pack at 3ft
- Power Delivery fast charging with 20W+ adapter
- Compatible with iPhone 8 through 14 and Lightning-port iPads
- Rated for 25,000+ bend cycles
Who it's for
Right for anyone still on an iPhone 8 through 14 or an older Lightning iPad who wants a fast-charging spare cable or two. Wrong for iPhone 15, 16, or 17 owners, whose phones use USB-C on both ends.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- MFi certified, works with Apple's official fast-charge specification
- 2-pack at 3 feet, handy as a spare
- TPE coating rated for 25,000+ bend cycles
- Needs a separate 20W+ USB-C adapter to fast charge
- Not compatible with iPhone 15, 16, or 17
Performance notes
Power Delivery charging over the USB-C end can bring an iPhone 13 to roughly 50 percent in about 30 minutes, but only when paired with a 20W or higher USB-C wall adapter, since the cable itself does not generate that power. Data transfer tops out at 480Mbps, enough for photo and file syncing rather than large video backups.

No, the iPhone 15 and later use a USB-C port rather than Lightning, so this cable is not compatible.
Do I need a special charger for fast charging to work?
Yes, the cable needs a 20W or higher USB-C power adapter to reach Power Delivery fast-charge speeds.
How many cables come in the package?
The listing includes two 3-foot cables.
