Monoprice 112843 Apple MFi Certified Lightning Cable 3ft

The Monoprice 112843 Select Series Lightning to USB Cable is a 3-foot MFi certified cable designed for charging and syncing Apple devices with Lightning ports. Apple's MFi (Made for iPhone/iPad/iPod) certification means this cable has undergone rigorous testing to ensure it meets Apple's performance and safety standards, so you won't encounter compatibility warnings or unreliable connections. The cable works with iPhones, iPads, and iPods equipped with Lightning connectors when plugged into any standard USB-A power source or computer port.

Build quality is a highlight of this cable. The connectors feature 24k gold plating at a generous 50-micron thickness, which is significantly more than many competing cables and helps prevent corrosion over years of use. The polycarbonate molded connector heads add structural reinforcement at the stress points where cables most commonly fail. At 3 feet long, this cable is purpose-built for close-range use — charging on a nightstand, syncing at a desk, or connecting to a portable battery pack. Monoprice's Lifetime Warranty rounds out the package, offering a free replacement if the cable ever fails under normal use.
