OPSO 20cm USB-C to Lightning Short Braided Cable Review: Perfect Companion for Power Banks

You must be familiar with this: when using your iPhone while charging it with a power bank, there is always a long cord accompanied. Gradually, the cable gets tangled with your arm or your clothes, and sometimes it may bring down other small items, what chaos! At this very moment, you'd better have a short cable instead. Today we are going to review the 20cm/7.9in MFi certified USB-C to Lightning cable from OPSO.


I. Unboxing

While OPSO shares high reputation as a MFi OEM/ODM manufacturer working for many famous brands, they also make products under their own brand. This OPSO USB-C to Lightning cable comes with a simple white box.

The cable’s workmanship is outstanding. It has a braided cord which is soft and flexible. The connectors are made using injection molding with Aluminum alloy shells, making it strong and robust.

The matte finish of the metal connector feels premium.

OPSO logo on the Lightning connector. The pins are silver instead of gold, since the C94 connector has upgraded its electroplating process from gilding to rhodium and ruthenium plating.

The USB-C connector is clean.

The 24cm length is perfect for power banks. No more entangled cables.


II Things to know about Apple fast charging

Fast charging gives you a quick and convenient way to recharge your iPhone 8 or later. You need a USB-C charger that supports USB Power Delivery (USB-PD) and a USB-C to Lightning cable. Traditional USB-A chargers do not support USB-PD.


III Charging test

First of all, we need to check the Lightning connector. Using unauthorized connector can lead to incompatible problems which may harm your device. Using ChargerLAB Power-Z MF001 tester we knew that the ASIC and PMU were original C94 and the score was 100 of 100.

Summarized above.


IV ChargerLAB conclusion


The OPSO USB-C to Lightning is simple yet robust.

The 24cm length is perfect for power banks. MFi certification provides perfect USB-PD fast charging compatibility.

If you already own a USB-C to Lightning cable with regular length, and are looking for a short one for portability, then the OPSO 20cm USB-C to Lightning cable is highly recommended.
