KINPEE KIN-cb-02 USB-C to Lightning Cable, 2 m, MFi Certified

If a charging lead needs to reach beyond the socket, extra length makes everyday use more comfortable. The KINPEE KIN-cb-02 is a 2 m USB-C to Lightning cable for compatible iPhone and iPad devices. MFi certification supports compatibility with Lightning devices, while the cable also handles data transfer. Use it at home, in the office or on the go to keep your device connected while you use it.

Highlights

The 2 m length gives you more room to position your phone while it charges, whether you are working at a desk or relaxing nearby. Its USB-C connector is designed for a USB-C power adapter, and the Lightning end connects to compatible Apple devices. This is a useful choice when you want a longer lead for a USB-C charging setup rather than a shorter cable that keeps the device close to the socket.

MFi certification is a practical feature for charging and syncing with compatible Lightning devices. The cable supports data transfer at up to 480 Mbps, so it can be used for file transfers as well as charging. Its TPE outer material and tangle-free design suit regular use around the home, at work or in a bag. Short-circuit protection is also listed among its features.

Buyer feedback praises the cable’s length, while experiences with reliability and charging speed vary. Some buyers report that it works well, others raise concerns about performance over time and durability. These differing views are worth weighing alongside the cable’s length and everyday charging and sync functions.

How to use it

Connect the USB-C end to a USB-C charger or another compatible USB-C power source, then plug the Lightning end into your device. The cable is not compatible with USB-A wall chargers, so it suits setups that already use USB-C charging. For data transfer, connect the cable between the Lightning device and a compatible USB-C connection. Its 2 m reach can help keep the device accessible while it is plugged in, rather than fixed beside the power source.

Usage tips

Check that the device has a Lightning connector and that the power source has a USB-C port before connecting. For fast charging, pair the cable with a USB-C power adapter that supports the device, charging speed depends on the connected equipment. When using the cable for syncing, its transfer rate of up to 480 Mbps supports everyday data transfers. Storing it neatly between uses helps keep the lead organised and ready to use.

What to clarify

Which devices can use this cable? It is listed for Lightning-equipped iPhone models including the iPhone 14, 13, 12 and 11 ranges, as well as earlier models such as iPhone X, XR, XS and iPhone 8. It is also listed for selected iPad generations and AirPods Pro.

Will it work with a USB-A charger? No. This is a USB-C to Lightning cable and requires a USB-C charging connection.

Final verdict

For anyone who needs extra reach from a USB-C power source to a Lightning device, the KINPEE KIN-cb-02 combines a 2 m length with MFi certification and charging-and-sync use. It is suited to everyday setups where being able to use a connected phone or tablet at a comfortable distance matters.
