Olight MCC4 USB-C Magnetic Charging Cable Brings Faster, Future-Ready Charging to ArkTac Flashlights
Olight is preparing to roll out its new MCC4 Magnetic Charging Cable, a refreshed charging solution designed to make powering compatible flashlights easier and more modern. The biggest upgrade is the move to USB-C, giving users a more convenient cable that fits better with today’s chargers, power banks, and everyday tech accessories.
The MCC4 cable will arrive alongside the new Olight ArkTac flashlight series. It keeps the familiar magnetic charging design that Olight users already know, allowing the cable to snap securely into place without needing to plug a connector directly into the flashlight. This magnetic system remains one of the brand’s most user-friendly features, especially for people who use their flashlights regularly for outdoor activities, work, emergency kits, or everyday carry setups.
In terms of charging performance, the MCC4 cable supports up to 10 watts of power. The specifications shown on the connector list an output of 5V–2A, followed by 4.2V–1A. That places it in the same charging speed category as the older MCC3 cable, which is also rated at 10 watts.
However, the MCC4 has one important advantage: USB-C. While the charging speed may not be higher than the MCC3, the newer connector makes the cable more practical and future-ready. USB-C has become the standard across smartphones, tablets, laptops, power banks, and many other accessories, so users will have fewer cable types to carry.
Compared with the older MCC1 cable, the MCC4 offers a noticeable performance improvement. Olight says the new cable is 75 percent faster than the MCC1, which was limited to 1 ampere. For users upgrading from older Olight charging accessories, that could mean shorter charging times and a smoother overall experience.
Compatibility is another strong point. The MCC4 is expected to work with older Olight flashlights that support the brand’s magnetic charging system. That means existing users should be able to charge many of their current devices without worrying about switching to an entirely new setup.
Olight also appears committed to keeping magnetic charging as part of its product ecosystem. Future flashlight models are expected to support the MCC4 cable, making it a key accessory for upcoming releases. This suggests the company is not treating the cable as a one-off addition for the ArkTac series, but as part of its long-term charging strategy.
For now, the MCC4 cable will be available only as part of the new ArkTac flashlight packages. The ArkTac series is scheduled to go on sale during the Black Friday period. Olight plans to offer the MCC4 cable as a standalone accessory later, although general availability may take some time.
For flashlight enthusiasts, outdoor users, technicians, and anyone already invested in Olight gear, the MCC4 cable is a welcome upgrade. It keeps the convenience of magnetic charging, adds the everyday practicality of USB-C, and maintains solid 10-watt charging performance. While it may not dramatically outperform the MCC3 in speed, its improved convenience and future compatibility make it an important step forward for Olight’s charging lineup.
