Key Features of Mcdodo CA-1990

One Cable, Four Charging Combinations

One of the main advantages of the Mcdodo CA-1990 is its versatile connector arrangement. It supports four combinations, allowing you to use different types of power adapters and charge devices with either USB-C or Lightning ports.

*Maximum output figures are based on commonly listed CA-1990 configurations. Some retailer listings report different ratings for USB-A and Lightning combinations. Confirm the exact output ratings printed on your product packaging before publishing or promising a specific charging speed.

60W USB-C Power Delivery Fast Charging

The USB-C-to-USB-C configuration supports up to 60W Power Delivery, with a listed maximum profile of 20V/3A. This makes the CA-1990 suitable for compatible USB-C devices that accept charging within this power range.Use it with a compatible USB-C PD wall charger or power bank to charge supported smartphones, tablets, and lightweight laptops. For example, a compatible MacBook Air or other USB-C laptop that accepts up to 60W can use the cable within its supported charging requirements.Remember that 60W is the cable's maximum supported output in USB-C-to-USB-C mode. It does not mean every connected phone or laptop will draw 60W. Actual charging power is negotiated between the charger and device and depends on their supported charging profiles.

Convenient Charging for USB-C and Lightning Devices

The CA-1990 is useful for people who use a combination of Android and Apple devices. Its USB-C output supports compatible modern smartphones, tablets, and laptops, while the Lightning output provides a connection for supported older-generation iPhones and Lightning-equipped Apple devices.Instead of carrying separate USB-C and Lightning cables, you can use the appropriate connector combination from the same cable. This is particularly helpful when travelling with family members or when charging different devices at home and in the office.Charging speeds vary according to the selected input connector, output connector, charger, and device. Always select the correct connector combination for the device you are charging.

Compatible with Modern USB-C and Older USB-A Chargers

Not every charging adapter uses the same port. Some modern wall chargers and power banks feature USB-C outputs, while many older adapters and car chargers still use USB-A.The Mcdodo CA-1990 accommodates both input types. Select the USB-C input when using a compatible USB-C power adapter, or use the USB-A input with a suitable USB-A charger.This flexibility makes the cable practical for travel, where you may encounter different charger types, and for households that still use a mixture of older and newer charging accessories.

480Mbps Data Transfer and Synchronisation

Beyond charging, the CA-1990 supports USB 2.0 data transfer at speeds of up to 480Mbps with compatible devices and connection combinations.This can be useful for transferring files, synchronising supported devices, and connecting compatible phones to computers. Actual transfer speeds depend on the connected hardware, file type, operating system, and USB connection mode.The 480Mbps figure is the USB 2.0 theoretical maximum, not a guaranteed real-world transfer speed. The cable should not be marketed as a USB 3.0 or high-speed 10Gbps data cable.

Travel-Friendly Magnetic Cable Management

The CA-1990 is designed as a multi-connector travel cable to reduce the number of separate charging cables you need to carry. Its compact connector arrangement and practical 1.2-metre length make it suitable for use in a backpack, travel pouch, office desk, or bedside setup.Some CA-1990 retail listings describe a magnetic self-winding feature that helps the cable coil neatly for storage. Because product descriptions differ between sellers, confirm that the magnetic self-winding construction is present on your actual stock before advertising it as a guaranteed feature.

Durable Nylon Braided Cable and Alloy Connectors

The Mcdodo CA-1990 combines a braided nylon cable exterior with aluminium- or zinc-alloy connector housings, depending on the component description used by the listing. The braided finish is designed to help resist ordinary abrasion and everyday handling.The alloy connector shells provide a premium finish and structural support around the connection points. The multi-connector arrangement also keeps the available connector options together, helping reduce the need to pack separate adapters.For longer-lasting use, avoid pulling the cable by its wire, bending it sharply near the connector ends, or placing heavy objects on it. Keep unused connector tips clean and protected during storage.

Useful for Travel, Home, and Office

For Travellers

Carry one cable for compatible USB-C and Lightning devices instead of packing multiple separate charging cables. Its 1.2-metre length is convenient for hotel rooms, airports, and everyday travel.

For Android and iPhone Users

The four connector combinations make it useful for households and groups using both USB-C and Lightning devices. Choose the appropriate output connector for each device.

For Laptop and Tablet Users
