Anker has just introduced its Zolo USB-A to USB-C cable to the US market, offering a blend of durability and functionality at an attractive starting price of $11.99. Designed with a slim connector and a sturdy 48-strand braided jacket, this cable is engineered to withstand over 10,000 bends. It supports an 18W charging capacity and allows for data transfer speeds up to 480 Mbps, making it an excellent choice for CarPlay users who demand reliability on the go.
Following the recent US launch of Anker’s Soundcore P41i earbuds, the new Zolo cable has made its debut after a successful rollout in Europe. It’s available on Amazon in two lengths—3.3 feet (1 meter) and 6 feet (1.8 meters)—with prices set at $11.99 and $12.99 respectively. You can choose from black and white options, though the white version of the longer cable is currently listed as “coming soon.”
This latest model (A8052) features a slim USB-C connector measuring 10 x 5.8 mm, designed to fit snugly in devices with tight port cutouts, even those housed in thicker cases. It’s robust enough to endure 12 kg of pull force and is USB-IF certified, ensuring it meets high standards of quality and safety. Anker highlights its seamless compatibility with CarPlay, capable of handling charging, calls, navigation, and media without interruptions.
According to its Amazon listing, the cable is compatible with a wide array of devices, including the latest iPhone models, Samsung Galaxy phones, iPads, and select Google Pixel and LG devices. While some Android users will enjoy full-speed charging, others might experience limited speeds depending on their device.
Priced slightly above the Zolo USB-C to USB-C 240W braided cable, this USB-A model caters to users who prefer sticking with older chargers or car systems and require a durable, case-friendly connection solution.
