Key Features of Mcdodo CA-2040 Cab Smart Cable

100W USB-C Power Delivery for Laptops and Smartphones

The Mcdodo CA-2040 supports up to 100W Power Delivery charging at a maximum output of 20V/5A. This high-power capacity makes it suitable for compatible USB-C laptops, tablets and smartphones that support charging within this range.For maximum 100W output, use a compatible 100W USB-C PD charger and a device capable of accepting the corresponding power profile. The charger, cable and connected device must all support the required charging conditions. A lower-rated device will draw only the power it is designed to accept.The 100W rating represents the cable's maximum supported power, not the charging speed every connected device will achieve. Actual performance depends on the charger, device, battery condition and supported charging protocol.

Smart Auto Power-Off for Intelligent Charging Management

One of the defining features of the Cab Smart CA-2040 is its built-in smart auto power-off IC. The cable is designed to monitor the charging condition and interrupt current when the connected device reaches a full-charge state under supported operating conditions.This feature is useful for people who regularly leave their phones, tablets or other USB-C devices connected to a charger for extended periods. Instead of continuously supplying charging current after the full-charge condition is detected, the smart control function is designed to stop the charging flow.Some product specifications also describe an automatic recharge cycle after approximately two hours. During this standby period, the cable can recheck the device's battery condition and resume charging if the level has dropped. The precise timing and restart behaviour should be confirmed with the product manual.Important: Smart auto power-off is a charging-management feature, not a guarantee against battery ageing, overheating or all forms of battery damage. Battery health also depends on temperature, device software, battery condition and charging habits.

Integrated E-Marker Chip for 5A Power Delivery

The CA-2040 includes an E-Marker smart chip designed to communicate cable capability to compatible USB-C charging equipment. This is particularly important for high-current USB-C charging arrangements that require cable identification and power negotiation.With support for up to 5A current and 100W maximum power, the cable is designed to work with compatible USB-C PD chargers and devices. The E-Marker helps the charging system identify the cable's supported capability, while the charger and device determine the actual voltage and current used.

Breathing LED Charging Status Indicator

The built-in breathing LED provides a convenient visual reference while charging. Product listings describe orange and blue lighting states for different charging conditions, while the indicator switches off when the automatic power cut-off function activates.

• Orange breathing light: Listed as a fast-charging status indication.
• Blue breathing light: Listed for standard or slower charging conditions.
• LED off: Associated with the automatic power cut-off state after full charge.

Indicator behaviour can depend on the charging state and connected equipment. Refer to the supplied product instructions for the exact colour meanings and operating sequence.

USB 2.0 Data Transfer up to 480Mbps

Besides charging, the Mcdodo CA-2040 supports USB 2.0 data transfer at up to 480Mbps. This allows compatible USB-C devices to connect with supported computers and other data sources for everyday file syncing and data communication.It is important to distinguish charging power from data speed. Although the cable supports up to 100W charging, its listed data interface is USB 2.0. It should not be purchased as a USB 3.x, USB4 or Thunderbolt high-speed data cable.

Nylon Braided Cable with Metallic Connector Housings

The CA-2040 combines a high-density nylon-braided cable exterior with metallic connector housings. Retailer specifications describe the connector shells as aluminium alloy or zinc alloy, depending on the listing. This construction provides a sturdy finish for everyday charging and handling.Its 1.2-metre length offers practical reach for common charging arrangements, including a desk, bedside table or office workstation. The cable's approximately 31g listed weight also makes it convenient to carry with a laptop charger or power bank.
