Native Union Type-C Belt Cable Pro - 240W USB-C to USB-C 8ft Ultra-Strong Charging Cable with Leather Strap Compatible with iPhone Air, 17 Pro Max, MacBook Pro 14"/16" M4, Air 15" M3 (Slate Green)

This is the third Native Union cable that I have purchased since my first one several years back. My recent purchase of a USB-C (x2) 8 foot cable for use with my iPad Pro is much like my past purchases. I find that Native Union (NU) cables are well made, highly durable and cost the same as Apple OEM cables (which are garbage). A nice feature I found on this cable is the small light on each connector to let you know the cable is working, very handy in case there is an issue with the power supply or the cable itself (see attached pic). The problem I have found with Apple OEM cables is besides the thin gauge of the cable, they offer little or no flex where they enter the connector which is their main weak point. Add to that, Apple uses aluminum wires inside which break and tear easily. For the same cost of the Apple cable, I was able to gain an additional 5’ of length which makes the cable much easier to use. I attached a some pics to show the difference in the NU cable vs the Apple OEM cable that came with my iPad Pro. My past experience with NU and their warranty on a cable that I damaged (my fault) was excellent, once I sent a pic confirming that I had cut the connector off one side, they shipped out my replacement cable immediately and I had it a couple of days later. This is what I call EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE on top of producing a quality product!!!! Because of this (and until they change their practices), I will loyally use and recommend Native Union products. Yes, there are cheaper alternatives, but my experience with cables is that “you get what you pay for” especially if you travel heavily like I do and subject your cables to some abuse or being snagged and pulled by others. If you are a Prime member, I recommend simply purchasing the item on Amazon since the price is the same but you get the free shipping.

These are not cheap, but I love them. I have multiple cords for home and travel. The length makes it easy to keep it charging while using your device from bed. As it's USB-C, I can use it for many different devices while being less prone to damage thanks to the thicker cable.

Great quality, had it for a while and no complaints

Love Native Union charging cords-I always get the braided cords- there durability is awesome, especially when you have younger kids

Longtime user of Native Union cords! When I upgraded to an iPhone 17 pro, I ordered several cords. The long one with the knot weight worked amazing. I brought this one to work and it didn’t plug into my phone. It did work for my colleague’s phone so it must be the Apple Techwoven case I have on my phone. So strange as the other Native cord worked so well and charged my phone in a flash. Highly recommend except if you have the Apple Techwoven case - I didn’t want to remove the case to charge so I will give this cord away.

This is my second one, my other one was for an iPhone 14 which work with the new iPhone 17 pro max.

When i plug this into my elgato facecam it shows as USB 2.0 and the camera won't work. I swap back to the other USBC cable thats too short and this works just fine, so its definitely the cable not the camera. I'm mad at myself now for spending so much on a cable that didnt work as anticipated. I reached out to the manufacturer to see if they can remediate it, otherwise will likely return it. A 30 dollar USB 3.1 cable should work out of the box. Update: Died entirely after 2 weeks. No longer charges my mobile device.

Just a great cable, it's strong and can handle the the power of my 240watt Notebook AC Adapter where may other cables could not. It also has been able to support high speed data transfers via USB-C. The included brown cable wrap is a nice touch and it does its job well, although I would have liked to have a second wrap since the cable is 8' long. Native Union might be slightly more money, but you are buying a premium product at a competitive price, that will outlast cheaper alternatives.
