Saves Your Port. Saves Your Trip.

The most expensive damage you can do to a modern laptop is bending the USB-C port. Service centers charge $200-400 to replace one. The #1 cause: someone tripped over the cable.

The Magnetic Braided cable solves it. The magnetic head stays plugged in permanently. The braided cable snaps on when you need power — and breaks free if anything pulls on it.

How It Works

The magnetic head is a small USB-C plug that lives in your laptop port full-time. The cable side has a matching magnetic socket. Bring them within a few millimeters of each other and the magnet pulls them into contact.

Tug the cable accidentally? The magnet releases at a safe break-away force — your laptop stays put, the port doesn’t bend, the cable doesn’t fray.

Bonus: one-handed connection. No more squinting at the port orientation in the dark.

Why Only 3 ft?

The 3 ft length matches the typical desk-to-laptop or hub-to-laptop run, which is where 90% of port damage happens. For longer runs (laptop to wall outlet), the standard 240W Braided Cable at 6 ft or 10 ft is more appropriate — and you don’t usually need the magnetic break-away there.

What 240W Actually Charges

Same as the standard 240W Braided — every USB-C device on the market, from phones up to MacBook Pro 16” gaming load. The magnetic interface carries the full power rating; there’s no penalty for the convenience.

Frequently Asked

Quick answers, before you buy.

Can a magnetic cable really deliver the full 240W?

Yes. The magnetic interface carries the complete USB-PD 3.1 EPR (48V/5A) rating, which is the only standard that reaches 240W, with no penalty for the detachable design. An e-marker chip confirms the cable is rated for that current, so high-draw laptops charge at the same speed as a fixed cable.

If someone trips over the cable, will it protect my port?

That is the core benefit. The connection releases at a safe break-away force, so a sudden tug pops the cable free instead of bending or snapping the USB-C port. Replacing a damaged laptop port can cost 200 to 400 dollars, and the magnetic design is built to prevent exactly that.

Does the magnet hold securely while charging?

Yes. The magnet is tuned to stay firmly seated during normal desk use and one-handed plug-ins, holding solid contact for full-speed charging. It only releases when a real pull, like a trip or yank, exceeds the safe threshold, giving you both a reliable connection and accidental-disconnect protection.

Can the magnetic head stay plugged into my device full-time?

Yes, that is how it is designed to work. The small magnetic head lives in your device port permanently, and the braided cable snaps on and off as needed. Because the cable no longer plugs directly into the port, repeated connections cause no wear on the device connector itself.

What is the data transfer speed of the magnetic cable?

It transfers data at 480 Mbps (USB 2.0), which suits syncing, tethering, and routine file transfer. Like most high-power 240W cables, it prioritizes the conductors needed for full wattage delivery over high-speed data, so it is built for charging first and occasional transfers second.

Which devices work with this 240W magnetic cable?

Every USB-C device on the market, from phones and tablets up to a MacBook Pro 16 inch under gaming load. USB-PD negotiates the right power for each device, so low-draw gear pulls only what it needs while high-draw laptops get the full 240W through the magnetic connection.

The Story

240 Watts. Magnetic Safety.

All the power of the 240W Braided — with a magnetic head that saves your laptop port the first time someone trips over the cable.

01 · The $300 Problem

Saves Your Port.

A bent USB-C port costs $200-400 to repair at most laptop service centers. The #1 cause: cable tugs and trips.

The magnetic head stays plugged in. The braided cable snaps off if anything pulls. Your port stays straight forever.

02 · Full 240W Through Magnet

No Power Penalty.

Most magnetic cables top out at 100W. Ours carries the full 240W USB-PD through the magnetic interface — no compromise for the safety.

Same MacBook Pro 16" gaming charge speed as the standard 240W Braided. Same connector, same alloy, plus a magnet.

03 · One-Handed Snap-On

Plug Once. Snap Forever.

Bring the cable head within ~5 mm of the magnetic plug. The magnet does the rest. No more squinting at port orientation in the dark.
