Anker Ultra-Soft USB-C to USB-C Cable A82E2 | 240W | 1.8m | E-Marker | Upcycled-Braided

Fast Facts

240W is the CABLE ceiling under USB PD 3.1 EPR (48V/5A), not a speed you receive. Your phone draws what it draws — 20–45W typically. The real benefit is coverage: one cable serves earbuds through a 140W laptop, so nothing in the drawer is "the laptop one" any more.
Data rate is 480 Mbps = USB 2.0, and Anker states outright on the A82E2 page that the cable "does not support screen mirroring" — so the no-video warning is the manufacturer’s own, not our inference. Wrong cable for a dock, a display or an external SSD; normal and not a defect for a power-focused cable.
E-Marker chip present. USB-C caps an unmarked cable at 60W; anything claiming more without one is unsafe. Its presence is a genuine safety feature, not marketing, and Anker’s own cutaway slide shows it in the connector moulding.
Anker’s OWN published figures for A82E2: 30,000+ bend lifespan, soft PCR braid using recycled nylon, plastic-free packaging, USB-IF compliant. Judge its longevity by the bend rating. The 28g / 36°C comparison slides came from the SUPPLIER pack, are branded "Anker Soft Fast Charging Cable" with Chinese screen text, and do NOT appear on Anker’s A82E2 page — unverified, and CairoVolt measured none of it.
Length 1.8 m / 6 ft. Right for charging from a wall socket while on a sofa or in bed; longer than a desk usually wants. A silicone tie strap is included, and the supplied imagery shows a warm sand/pink and a white braid.
MPN A82E2, read off the sleeve. Anker’s official product name is "USB-C to USB-C Cable (3 ft / 6 ft, 240W, Upcycled-Braided)"; "Ultra-Soft" is the local supplier name, kept in the title because that is the term Egyptian buyers search. Anker’s colour list for A82E2: Black Stone, Shell White, Ice Lake Blue, Sprout Green, Lilac Purple.
Egypt fit: the honest buyer is someone with a USB-C laptop plus a USB-C phone who wants to stop owning three cables. For a phone alone, a cheaper 60W cable charges identically.

How this fits Egyptian use — deep dive (airlines · heat · electricity)

CairoVolt is an independent retailer — this cable carries our store warranty, not a manufacturer or agent warranty. At 650 EGP it is priced as a premium cable, and the honest justification is the E-Marker, the 240W headroom and the soft braid, not charging your phone faster. RIGHT FOR: (1) THE ONE-CABLE HOUSEHOLD — a USB-C laptop, a USB-C phone, an iPad and earbuds all served by a single cable that is never the bottleneck. This is the strongest case and the only one we will lead with. (2) MACBOOK AND USB-C LAPTOP OWNERS — 240W is comfortably above the ~140W a 16-inch MacBook Pro draws, so the cable never limits a laptop charger. (3) THE SOFA AND BEDSIDE SOCKET — Egyptian flats often put the only free socket across the room; 1.8 m is the length that makes the phone usable while it charges. (4) BAG AND TRAVEL USE — the soft braid loses coil memory, so it lies flat instead of springing out of a bag, and the included silicone strap keeps it coiled. (5) ANYONE REPLACING A FRAYING CABLE — braided jackets survive the repeated bending at the connector that kills moulded PVC cables, which is where nearly every cable fails first. (6) A HOUSEHOLD WITH MIXED-WATTAGE CHARGERS — because it never caps below the charger, you stop diagnosing "why is this charging slowly" as a cable problem. WRONG FOR: (7) CONNECTING A MONITOR OR DOCK — 480 Mbps and no DisplayPort alt-mode. It will not carry video. Buy a USB 3.2 or Thunderbolt cable for that; it is a different product at a different price. (8) FAST FILE TRANSFER OR EXTERNAL SSDs — USB 2.0 speed will make a large transfer painful. (9) SOMEONE WHO ONLY CHARGES A PHONE — a 60W cable does exactly the same job for less money, and we would rather say so than take the margin. (10) A TIDY DESK SETUP — at 1.8 m it will pool on the desk; a 1 m cable is neater there. WHAT 240W MEANS IN PRACTICE HERE: nothing on sale in Egypt today draws 240W. A 16-inch MacBook Pro peaks near 140W, an iPhone near 40W, most Samsung and Xiaomi phones 25–67W. So the cable is bought as future-proofing and as the removal of a variable, not as a speed upgrade. Any listing that tells you a 240W cable charges your phone faster than a 60W one is wrong. HEAT: Anker publishes 36°C against 48°C for an ordinary cable under load, from its own lab and with its own caveat. In an Egyptian summer a cable that runs cooler under a 100W laptop load is a genuine comfort difference, but we have not verified the figure and do not present it as ours. CARE: the commonest real-world failure is the connector neck, not the middle of the cable. Unplug by the moulded head rather than pulling the cord, and do not wrap it tightly around a laptop brick. AUTHENTICITY: match the printed model code on the sleeve. We have left the MPN field blank rather than guess between Anker’s several similar 240W braided cables — a fabricated model number in structured data is worse than an absent one. WHAT WE DID NOT INVENT: no CairoVolt wattage, temperature, weight, resistance or transfer-speed measurement exists for this cable. No claim that it speeds up phone charging. No claim of video output or USB 3 data. No invented model number.

Editorial Note

Editorial Content

Prepared by the CairoVolt editorial team

“A82E2 is bought for coverage, not phone speed: a 240W E-Marker cable stops being the bottleneck for anything up to a 140W laptop. Anker states it does not support screen mirroring, and its data rate is USB 2.0 — so it is not a monitor or fast-transfer cable. Anker's own durability figure is 30,000+ bends; the 28g/36°C slides are unverified supplier material.”

Product FAQs

Will this cable charge my phone faster?

Only if your old cable was the bottleneck — which it usually is not for a phone. 240W is the maximum the cable can safely carry; your phone still draws what it draws, typically 20 to 45W. The real benefit is that one cable now covers everything from earbuds to a laptop.

Can I use it to connect a monitor or transfer files quickly?

No. Its data rate is 480 Mbps, which is USB 2.0 speed. It will not carry video to an external display and it will move large files slowly. For those you need a USB 3.2 or Thunderbolt cable, which is a different product.

What is an E-Marker chip and does it matter?

It is a small chip in the connector that tells the charger how much current the cable can carry. USB-C caps an unmarked cable at 60W. Any cable claiming more than 60W without one is unsafe, so its presence here is a genuine safety feature rather than marketing.

Is it safe for a MacBook Pro?

Yes — 240W is well above what any MacBook draws, and the E-Marker lets the charger negotiate correctly. Charging speed is set by your charger and the laptop, not by the cable.

Are the 28 grams and the 36°C figures reliable?

Treat them as unverified. Those two slides came in the supplier's asset pack, carry Chinese on-screen text and are branded “Anker Soft Fast Charging Cable” — they do not appear on Anker's official A82E2 page, so we cannot confirm they describe this model. The figure Anker does publish for A82E2 is a 30,000+ bend lifespan. CairoVolt has measured nothing on this cable.

Which Anker model number is it?

A82E2, read off the sleeve. Anker’s own name for it is the USB-C to USB-C Cable (240W, Upcycled-Braided); the “Ultra-Soft” name is the local supplier’s. Anker publishes a 30,000+ bend lifespan, a recycled-nylon PCR braid, plastic-free packaging and USB-IF compliance for this model.

Does it work with older USB-C devices?

Yes. USB-C negotiates downward, so a 240W cable works normally with a 5W earbud case or an 18W phone. There is no risk in using a higher-rated cable with a lower-powered device.

Is 1.8 metres too long for a desk?

For a desk, 1 metre is usually tidier. 1.8 m is the right length for charging from a wall socket while sitting on a sofa or lying in bed, which is the more common Egyptian use case for a longer cable.

Details

A 240W USB-C charging cable (Anker A82E2), 1.8 m, with a recycled braid and an E-Marker chip — the part that lets any cable carry more than 60W. Two things decide it. 240W is the cable’s ceiling, not your phone’s speed; phones draw 20–45W whatever cable you fit. And Anker states it does not support screen mirroring — the data rate is USB 2.0, so it charges superbly but is the wrong cable for a monitor or fast transfers.

Check these five things

240W is a ceiling: it removes the cable as the bottleneck. It does not add watts your charger cannot supply.
Data = 480 Mbps (USB 2.0): fine for backups over time, wrong for video output or moving large files quickly.
E-Marker: required for anything above 60W. Its absence is what makes cheap cables cap at 3A.
Length 1.8 m: comfortable for a sofa or a bedside socket; longer than a desk usually needs.
Model code: the supplied images show no Anker A-number. Match the code printed on your sleeve before ordering a specific variant.

What 240W actually buys you in Egypt

Almost nothing you own draws 240W. A 16-inch MacBook Pro tops out around 140W; an iPhone around 40W at best; most Samsung and Xiaomi phones 25–67W. So the honest reason to buy a 240W cable is not speed — it is that one cable now covers every device you will own for years, including a future laptop, and you stop guessing which drawer cable is the one that charges the laptop. That is a real benefit; “charges your phone faster than a 60W cable” is not, and we will not claim it.

The E-Marker chip, and why cheap cables stop at 60W

USB-C allows more than 3A only when the cable identifies itself electronically. That identification comes from a small E-Marker chip in the connector, which tells the charger what the cable can safely carry. A cable without one is capped at 60W no matter how thick it looks — and a cable that claims high wattage without one is the classic failure that cooks a connector. Anker’s own slide shows the chip in the moulding.

480 Mbps: read this before you buy it for a monitor

The supplier slide prints “480M/S”. The correct unit is 480 megabits per second, which is USB 2.0 speed — the same data rate as a decade-old phone cable. This is completely normal for a power-focused cable and is not a defect. And you do not have to take our inference for it: Anker states on its own A82E2 product page that this cable “does not support screen mirroring”. So it will not drive an external display, will not do DisplayPort alt-mode, and will move a large video file slowly. If you need those, you need a USB 3.2 / Thunderbolt cable — a different product at a different price.

Recycled braid, and a durability figure worth more than the marketing

Anker’s official name for A82E2 is “Upcycled-Braided”: the jacket is a soft PCR braid made with recycled nylon, and it ships in completely plastic-free packaging. The number that matters for how long it lasts is Anker’s published 30,000+ bend lifespan — that is the figure to judge it by, and it is far more meaningful than the weight comparison. It is also USB-IF compliant, the industry certification that the cable behaves the way the USB standard requires.

About the 28 g and 36°C slides in the gallery: those two comparison images arrived in the supplier’s asset pack, carry Chinese on-screen text and are branded “Anker Soft Fast Charging Cable”. They do not appear on Anker’s official A82E2 page, so we cannot confirm the figures belong to this exact model and we do not present them as verified. CairoVolt has measured nothing on this cable. What the soft braid genuinely changes day to day is that it stops holding coil memory, so it lies flat instead of springing off the desk.

Names, colours and what is in the box

The model code is A82E2. Anker sells it as the “USB-C to USB-C Cable, 240W, Upcycled-Braided”; locally it is sold as “Ultra-Soft”, and we list both so you find it either way — the code on the sleeve is what settles it. In the box: the cable and a silicone cable organiser, in plastic-free packaging. Anker’s published colours for A82E2 are Black Stone, Shell White, Ice Lake Blue, Sprout Green and Lilac Purple; the imagery here shows a white and a warm sand/pink braid, so confirm the colour you are ordering.

What it charges, and at what

iPhone 15/16/17 (USB-C): up to roughly 40W with a capable charger — the phone is the limit, not the cable.
Samsung / Xiaomi / Oppo USB-C phones: 25–120W depending on the phone and its own charger protocol.
iPad and Android tablets: 20–45W typical.
MacBook Air / Pro and USB-C laptops: 30–140W — this is where a 240W cable earns its place.
Nintendo Switch, cameras, earbuds, and any USB-C accessory: yes, at whatever they request.
Not for: external monitors, docks needing video, or fast SSD transfer — that is a data-cable job.

Before purchase

Do not expect a wattage your charger cannot deliver, and do not buy this cable for video output or fast data — Anker itself states A82E2 does not support screen mirroring. Match the colour and the printed A82E2 code on the sleeve with what you ordered. Inspect the connectors for a snug fit; a loose USB-C plug is the most common cause of intermittent charging and is a reason to return, not to force.

Brand	Anker
SKU	AK07
Category	Charging Cables
CairoVolt warranty	18 months — see terms
Stock	Available
Model	Anker USB-C to USB-C Cable, 240W, Upcycled-Braided — MPN A82E2 · 1.8 m / 6 ft · store SKU AK07. Sold locally as "Ultra-Soft".
Two names, one cable	Anker’s official product name is "USB-C to USB-C Cable (3 ft / 6 ft, 240W, Upcycled-Braided)". The local supplier sells the same A82E2 as "Ultra-Soft". Both names appear on this page so the product is findable either way; the code printed on the sleeve is what settles identity. Anker also lists a 10 ft length under the same model family.
Power rating	240W maximum under USB Power Delivery 3.1 EPR (48V / 5A). This is the ceiling the CABLE can carry — it is not a wattage the cable creates. Actual charging speed is set by the charger and the device, whichever is lower.
E-Marker chip	Present. USB-C limits a cable without an E-Marker to 60W (3A); the chip identifies the cable to the charger so higher currents can be negotiated. Any cable advertising more than 60W without one is unsafe. Anker’s cutaway slide shows the chip inside the connector moulding.
Data rate — read before buying for a monitor	480 Mbps, i.e. USB 2.0. Anker states on its own A82E2 page that the cable "does not support screen mirroring", so this is the manufacturer’s position and not an inference of ours. No external display, no DisplayPort alt-mode, and slow transfer of large files. Normal for a power-focused cable and not a defect — but the wrong cable for a dock, a display or an external SSD.
Length	1.8 m / 6 ft
Weight	A 28 g figure (against 43 g+ for a standard cable) appears on a SUPPLIER slide, not on Anker’s official A82E2 page, so it is unverified for this model. Not weighed by CairoVolt.
Durability (Anker-published)	Over 30,000 bend lifespan, per Anker’s A82E2 page. This is the manufacturer figure to judge the cable’s life by. A separate 36°C-vs-48°C heat slide came from the supplier pack and is NOT on Anker’s A82E2 page — unverified for this model, and CairoVolt has taken no thermal reading.
Construction & materials	Soft PCR braided jacket made with RECYCLED NYLON — the reason Anker calls the line "Upcycled-Braided" — and completely plastic-free packaging. USB-IF compliant. The cutaway image shows multiple conductor bundles; the braid resists the repeated bending at the connector neck, which is where most cables actually fail.
Safety	The E-Marker is the primary safety element: it prevents a charger negotiating a current the cable cannot carry. Anker’s material also references EU non-toxic and flame-retardant certification for the jacket. Unplug by the moulded connector head rather than pulling the cord, do not wrap the cable tightly around a charger brick, and stop using any cable whose jacket splits or whose connector runs hot. Keep cables away from young children and pets, who chew them.
In the box & colours	Cable plus a silicone cable organiser, in plastic-free packaging. Anker lists A82E2 in Black Stone, Shell White, Ice Lake Blue, Sprout Green and Lilac Purple; the supplied imagery shows a white and a warm sand/pink braid, so confirm the colour you are ordering.
Dimensions	1.8 m length; connector head is a standard moulded USB-C plug. Anker markets a slim connector profile for use with thick phone cases. Exact head dimensions are not published for this variant.
Compatibility	Any USB-C device: iPhone 15/16/17, Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo, iPad, Nintendo Switch, cameras, earbuds, MacBook Air/Pro and USB-C laptops. USB-C negotiates downward, so a 240W cable is safe with a 5W accessory. NOT for Lightning iPhones (14 and older) — that needs a USB-C to Lightning cable.
Warranty	CairoVolt independent store warranty — duration and conditions are on this product page and in the store return policy. Not a manufacturer or agent warranty.
What CairoVolt did NOT test or invent	No bench test exists for this cable: no measured wattage, no thermal reading, no weighed mass, no resistance or continuity measurement, no transfer-speed test. The 28g and 36°C figures are Anker’s own and are labelled as such. No claim that the cable speeds up phone charging, no claim of video output or USB 3 data, and no invented model number, and the unverified supplier slides are labelled as such.
