Make iPhone charging easier to monitor with the Mcdodo CA-6570 Cab Vision 36W USB-C to Lightning Cable. Designed for compatible Apple devices with a Lightning port, this cable combines USB Power Delivery fast charging with a built-in horizontal LED display that shows real-time charging power. You can check the wattage directly from the cable while your device is connected, making it easier to understand how your charging setup is performing.The CA-6570 supports up to 36W maximum charging power and 3A current when paired with compatible USB-C PD charging equipment. It also supports USB 2.0 data transfer at up to 480Mbps, making it useful for everyday charging and data synchronisation. Its 1.2-metre nylon-braided cable and aluminium-alloy connector housings provide a durable construction for regular use at home, in the office or while travelling.

Real-Time LED Charging Power Display

One of the defining features of the Mcdodo CA-6570 is its built-in horizontal LED display. The display shows the charging power in watts while the cable is connected, giving you a quick visual reference for the power being delivered to your device.This is useful when you use different USB-C adapters or want to check whether a compatible iPhone or iPad is receiving fast charging. The displayed wattage can change during a charging session depending on the battery level, device temperature, charger capability and charging conditions.The display is intended to make charging status easier to observe; it does not independently increase charging speed. The connected device and charger still determine the actual power level.

36W USB-C Power Delivery Fast Charging

The CA-6570 supports up to 36W maximum Power Delivery charging with a maximum current of 3A. Connect its USB-C end to a compatible USB-C PD adapter and its Lightning end to a supported Apple device to use the available fast-charging capability.Actual charging speed depends on the iPhone or iPad model, the charger's supported output and the device's charging conditions. The 36W rating represents the cable's maximum advertised capability; it does not mean every Lightning device will draw 36W.

Charging and USB 2.0 Data Transfer

The Mcdodo CA-6570 supports both charging and data synchronisation. Its USB 2.0 interface provides a maximum advertised data transfer rate of 480Mbps, allowing compatible Apple devices to connect with supported computers for file transfers and synchronisation.This makes the cable useful for more than charging. You can use it for compatible photo transfers, file synchronisation and other standard USB data tasks while keeping your Lightning device connected.The 480Mbps figure is the maximum USB 2.0 interface rate, not a guarantee of real-world transfer speed. Actual performance depends on the connected devices and data-transfer conditions.

Nylon Braided Cable and Aluminium-Alloy Connectors

Designed for everyday handling, the CA-6570 features a nylon-braided exterior and aluminium-alloy connector housings. The braided jacket helps resist everyday abrasion and tangling, while the metal connector shells provide a sturdy finish.Its 1.2-metre length offers practical reach for charging at a desk, beside a bed, in the office or inside a vehicle. The cable is suitable for users who want a combination of charging, data synchronisation and a visible charging-power indicator.

Wired Apple CarPlay Compatibility

Retailer specifications also list wired Apple CarPlay compatibility for the CA-6570. When used with a compatible iPhone and vehicle infotainment system, it can serve as a wired connection for supported CarPlay functions.CarPlay availability depends on the vehicle, infotainment system and iPhone. Check your car's connection requirements before purchasing, as not every vehicle supports wired CarPlay through USB-C-to-Lightning connections.
