- 1
The power rating.
A cable can only carry what it is made for. Match it to the highest power your devices use.
- 2
An E-Marker chip.
Required above 60W. It tells the charger what the cable can safely carry.
- 3
How it is built.
Look at the finish and the connectors. A cable that survives a year in a bag saves you buying two.
How to choose.
Which one is right for you?
Up to 60W
For most phones and tablets, a good USB-C cable is all you need.
100W or 240W
Laptops and other power-hungry devices (PD 3.1) need a USB-C cable with an E-Marker chip. A cable without one automatically limits charging to 60W, which keeps it safe.
You charge more than one device
Choose the cable for the device that draws the most power. It will also be enough for the others.
Choosing a charger too
Pair the cable with the charger that suits your devices. GaN chargers guide ›
Questions. Answered.
Do I need a special USB-C cable for 100W or 240W charging?
For anything above 60W, such as 100W or 240W (PD 3.1), use a USB-C cable with an E-Marker chip. A cable without one automatically limits charging to 60W, which keeps it safe.
Why is my phone charging slowly?
The cable is a common reason. A cable that is not made for fast charging can hold the charger back. Your device also decides how much power it takes, and eases off as the battery nears 80%.
What if a cable fails?
Every RAXCEN product has a 12-month limited warranty against manufacturing defects, counted from the delivery date. Open Support with your order number and a photo.
