DERLULU Magnetic Charger Cable, 6.6 ft

The magnetic connector is the defining feature here: it helps guide the cable into place, which can make connecting a MacBook easier when you’re working in dim light or plugging in with one hand. At 6.6 ft, the cable also gives you more room to position your laptop near a compatible USB-C power adapter. It’s aimed at MacBook Air 13-inch and 15-inch models from M2 to M5, plus MacBook Pro 14-inch and 16-inch models from 2021 to 2026. That makes it a practical charging cable or travel backup for owners of those listed models, rather than a universal laptop cable.

Where it shines

The magnetic end is useful when you want a connection that is easier to line up than a conventional plug. For example, you can reach for the cable beside a desk or bed and let the connector guide itself toward the charging port instead of carefully aiming a plug in low light. Its stated resistance to most unintended disconnects may also help keep the connection in place during everyday use, though it should not be treated as a guarantee that the cable can never come loose.

The longer reach suits setups where the outlet and your usual laptop spot aren’t right beside each other, such as working from a living room or bedroom. It can also be packed as a backup for travel. A compatible USB-C power adapter is required for charging, the cable supports fast charging when paired with one, and DERLULU recommends an adapter rated at 65W or more for fast charging. The cable itself doesn’t establish charging speed independently of the adapter.

Key points

The cable uses a USB-C-to-magnetic connection and includes an LED indicator: amber while the battery is charging and green when it is fully charged. That gives you a quick visual cue without needing to check the MacBook’s screen. The description lists MacBook Air 13-inch and 15-inch models from M2 through M5, and MacBook Pro 14-inch and 16-inch models from 2021 through 2026, including the M5, M5 Pro, and M5 Max versions. Match your specific laptop to that compatibility list before buying, particularly if you have a model outside those sizes or generations.

Its main tradeoff is the same feature that sets it apart: the magnetic connection is intended for the listed MacBook charging setup, not for someone looking for a standard USB-C-to-USB-C cable for different devices. If you prioritize easier alignment and a longer reach, this design has a clear purpose, if you prefer a straightforward plug-to-port cable for broader use, a conventional USB-C cable may suit you better. From the way it is set up, its fast-charging benefit also depends on using a compatible power adapter.

Best use cases

It’s a great fit if you want a dedicated cable for a compatible MacBook at a desk, beside a bed, or as a lightweight backup in a bag. The magnetic end may be especially handy when you’re connecting the laptop one-handed or in a dim room, while the LED provides a glanceable charging status. Better avoided if you need one cable for a wider mix of devices, or if your MacBook isn’t among the models listed. There are no care instructions provided, so there’s no specific maintenance routine to rely on beyond ordinary careful handling.

Buying verdict

Choose this DERLULU cable when your MacBook matches the stated compatibility range and the magnetic connection, charging indicator, and 6.6 ft reach address a real part of your routine. It offers a more guided connection than a basic plug-in cable, with the useful reminder that fast charging depends on a suitable USB-C adapter. If your priority is cross-device versatility, or you need confirmed compatibility beyond the listed MacBook sizes and generations, a standard cable with explicitly matching device support is the more sensible direction.
