iOttie 100W Retractable USB-C Cable, 2-Pack
Product description
This retractable USB-C cable from iOttie simplifies charging and data transfer on the go, offering adjustable lengths and up to 100W fast charging when paired with a compatible charger. It suits travel, commuting, and everyday desk use where a compact, tangle-free cable is preferred and you need reliable power for phones, tablets, and some laptops.
Key Points
The retractable mechanism lets you choose between four cable lengths so you can avoid excess cord clutter in a bag or at a workstation. According to the manufacturer, the cable supports up to 100W charging, which helps reduce charge times for many USB-C laptops and larger devices. It also includes smart power detection to match the output to your device for safer and more efficient charging. For data, the cable reaches transfer speeds up to 480 Mbps, useful for moving media and documents between devices quickly. Note that video output is not supported by this cable, so it will not carry a display signal to external monitors.

Benefits
The compact, retractable design makes carrying a pair of cables effortless and greatly reduces tangles when stowed in a backpack or suitcase. Because the cable adjusts to multiple lengths, it can be shortened for desk charging or extended when you need extra reach at coffee shops or airports. The smart detection feature adjusts output automatically, which can reduce the risk of overcurrent to smaller devices while still delivering higher wattage for larger batteries. Having two cables in the pack adds redundancy for travel or allows you to keep one at home and one in your bag.
Usage Recommendations
Use a charger that supports higher-wattage USB Power Delivery to take advantage of the 100W capability. For routine charging of phones and tablets, the cable will scale down its output according to the connected device. The retractable mechanism is convenient, but treat it gently and avoid jerking the cable to preserve the housing and internal spool. Keep in mind that while this cable handles power and data, it does not support video output, so connect a dedicated video-capable cable if you need to mirror or extend a display.
