RAVIAD USB-C to Lightning Cable 1m - 480 Mbps Data

RAVIAD USB-C to Lightning Cable 1m MFi certified braided nylon connects a USB-C charger to an iPhone or iPad with a Lightning port. The cable measures 1 meter and combines a USB-C connector with a Lightning connector.

Key Cable Specifications

The cable supports Power Delivery charging up to 9V/3A and data transfer speeds up to 480 Mbps, according to the listed specifications for this model. Its nylon-braided outer jacket is designed for repeated bending, with the product listing stating a minimum of 25,000 90-degree bend tests.

The same listing gives the cable a weight of 30 grams and a 2-year warranty. It identifies compatibility with Lightning-equipped iPhone models including iPhone 14, iPhone 13, iPhone 12, iPhone 11, iPhone XS, iPhone XR, iPhone X, and iPhone 8, along with several Lightning-equipped iPad models.

Charging And Compatibility

MFi certification identifies the cable as part of Apple's Made for iPhone and iPad accessory program. Apple says an earlier iPhone model can use a USB-C to Lightning cable with a compatible USB-C power adapter for fast charging, while the exact result depends on the iPhone, adapter, and charging conditions.

An independent ntv product test used a 20W Apple adapter and an iPhone 13. The 1-meter RAVIAD cable reached 65 percent battery after 30 minutes under the test conditions, compared with 67 percent for Apple's 1-meter reference cable.

The comparison also separates this 1-meter model from the 30-centimeter RAVIAD cable, which reached 62 percent in the same test. The 2-meter RAVIAD cable reached 65 percent, matching the 1-meter version in that test.

Position In The Category

RAVIAD USB-C to Lightning Cable 1m is a charging and data cable for older iPhone and iPad hardware that still uses Lightning. It is not the right cable for an iPhone with a USB-C port, which requires a USB-C to USB-C connection for direct charging.

The 480 Mbps ceiling places the cable in the USB 2.0 class for Lightning data transfer. That is sufficient for charging, syncing, and file transfers, but it is slower than current high-speed USB-C cable standards.

Best Fit And Limits

This model fits Apple-device users who need a 1-meter USB-C to Lightning cable with MFi certification, Power Delivery support, and a braided exterior. The independent test placed its 30-minute charging result two percentage points below Apple's 1-meter cable under the stated conditions.

The key limitation is connector compatibility. It works with Lightning devices, while newer USB-C iPhone models require a different cable type. Its 1-meter length also favors desk, bedside, and vehicle charging setups over longer-distance use.
