Once again we have the black background with a large picture of the product in the middle making it easy to see. The Anker branding is up in the top left and they dive into the features down at the bottom with a nice reflective silver finish there. They touch on the 240-watt capacity down at the bottom as well as with the certification logo. The back of the box has a picture of the cable in use taking up most of the space. They have an icon showing the lifetime warranty and then they go into more detail with three features down below the picture.
Like with the other products, the Prime USB-C Charging Cable’s box front lifts off, and inside we have the cable. They use cardboard to keep things nice and snug but to also be sustainable. You get the cable and then there are two papers up under it. It is all just legal information with an FCC statement on one along with other legal information and the small paper just asks you to recycle.
The new Prime USB-C Charging Cable comes in two lengths 3 foot and 6 foot and the cable I have here is the 3-foot long cable. It has support for 240 watts charging capacity which limits the length somewhat but in most situations, 6 or 3 feet would work for me. The 3-foot option is perfect for at your desk, with your laptop, or sometimes in your car depending on where you keep your phone. The cable of course has male Type-C connections on both ends and both ends have a rounded shape and a grey finish with the Anker branding on them. The big thing here, beyond the wattage capacity, is their use of a sleeving that uses 100% recycled materials. This isn’t Anker's first cable to put sustainability first but it's good to see it is being a focus across the product lineup. The cable can handle 480 MB/s of data transfer speed as well and they are rating this to be very durable with a rating of 300,000 bends or holding a weight of 100 kg. The upcycled sleeving has a nice black and silver weave and they did include a rubber cable tie as well to keep things clean. It’s less useful on this shorter cord where the 6-foot cable would need it more. But it is still welcomed.
