Tired of slow charges and sluggish data transfers? USB-C cables have totally changed the game, letting you charge faster and sync quicker across your fave devices compared to USB-A and Micro-USB. From your phone to your laptop, a USB-C cable is now the connector everyone counts on.
At Cygnett, we have crafted a range of USB-C cables Aussies absolutely love. Designed right here in Australia, our cables meet the highest standards for quality and performance.

What exactly is a USB-C cable?
A USB-C cable is a small, reversible connector that makes powering up and transferring data so much faster and easier. You will spot it on loads of devices today, from the latest Apple iPhones and iPads to Samsung Galaxy phones and Android tablets.
Because it offers faster charging, quicker data transfer speeds, and a smaller, reversible connector that is easier to plug in, USB-C technology really took off to replace older connections like Micro-USB and the larger USB-A. It also supports higher power delivery and more versatile device compatibility, making it the universal standard for modern tech.
Now, it is the go-to for the latest phones, tablets, and even gaming consoles. Even Apple dropped its proprietary Lightning cable for USB-C and made it a staple in the latest iPad minis, iPad Pros, MacBook Pros, and Apple phones starting from iPhone 15, where USB-C ports were first introduced.
At Cygnett, you will find all sorts of USB-C cables to match your needs. Our range includes Lightning to USB-C for your Apple gear, USB-A to USB-C for classic chargers, USB-C to USB-C for full-speed connections, and even USB-C cables for Microsoft Surface chargers. Whatever you need, we have got the right cable for it.
What can you use a USB-C cable for?
There is so much you can do with a USB-C cable. It’s not just for charging anymore. Here are just a few ways you can put your USB-C cable to work:
1. Charge your device with a compatible wall charger for super-fast charging
2. Connect your devices to a laptop or desktop computer
3. Power up your Ethernet adapters for faster wired internet
4. Use with a card reader to quickly transfer photos and files
5. Hook up an adapter to connect to monitors, keyboards, and more
It is the ultimate multitasker for your tech life.
Not all USB-C cables are the same
Even though they might look the same, not all USB-C cables perform the same way. Here are some of the key factors that differentiate USB-C cables:
1. Power Delivery (PD): Cables with PD technology deliver faster charging for phones, tablets, laptops, and more.
2. USB 3.0 or 4.0 compatibility: If you want lightning-fast data transfer, USB 3.0 or USB 4.0 speeds are the way to go.
3. Thunderbolt compatibility: Some USB-C cables are also Thunderbolt cables, perfect for professional setups with super high-speed needs.
4. DisplayPort support: Want to connect to external monitors? Look for cables that support DisplayPort for crystal-clear video.
Picking the right USB-C cable for your needs
Not sure which cable is the perfect match? Here is what you should think about:
1. Braided durability: If you are rough on your cables or pack them when you’re on the go, a braided design like our Armoured series adds strength, strain relief and resists wear and tear.
2. Compatibility: Make sure the cable matches your device and the wattage it needs. Smaller devices like AirPods and Apple Watch require lower wattage, while larger devices like laptops need cables that can handle higher power levels and even USB Power Delivery.
3. Length matters: Need something compact? Go for a 1M cable length or less. Want more reach? A 2M cable length gives you more flexibility.
4. Type of device: Using high-performance laptops like Dell Pro Max, Microsoft Surface, or the latest Mac device? Check the specs to pick a cable that handles the right speed and power levels.
Why your devices deserve better quality cables
Low-quality cables might seem like a good deal, but they can actually cause serious problems. Poorly made cables can overheat, charge slowly, or even damage your devices. Worse, they can be unsafe, with no proper safeguards against short circuits or power surges.
That's why you should go for trusted brands like Cygnett. Our cables are built to international standards, tested for safety, and made to work seamlessly with your devices. We even have an Armoured cable collection made of DuPont® Kevlar® aramid fibre for extra strength and durability—perfect for everyday use, travel, or tough conditions.
