Joyroom JR-S-CL36M USB-C to Lightning Cable | Braided Exterior
Joyroom JR-S-CL36M is a ~1.2m braided USB-C to Lightning cable for Lightning iPhones (8–14 and SE) and Lightning iPads. We measured 19.0W into an iPhone 13 — the same class as JR-S-CL20; MFi was not verified on our sample. “36mos” is warranty/marketing language, not a measured upgrade.
Quick Summary
- Listing identity: store SKU JK04, GTIN 6956116750213, listed near ~131 EGP. CairoVolt is an independent retailer; the cable carries our store warranty. “36mos” is NOT a measured claim that this cable is electrically superior to JR-S-CL20 or JR-S-CL24M.
- MFi honesty first: the opened sample carried Joyroom branding and a USB-PD listing — no Apple “Made for iPhone” / MFi logo. MFi authentication was not evidenced the way it was on Anker SureIStrong A8652H21. iOS showed “This accessory may not be supported” during the first charge session on iPhone 13. Treat any MFi claim as vendor-stated until your unit’s packaging proves otherwise.
- Electricals (instrumented, sample CV-CB-JRSCL36M-001): tip-to-tip length 120 cm (5m fiberglass tape); weight 22 g (Kkmoon 0.01g scale). Voltage drop at controlled 5V/2A across the full span: 0.15 V (≈75 mΩ VBUS+GND) on FNB58, cross-checked AVHzY CT-3 (±0.01 V). Peak into iPhone 13 via Anker A2147 30W PD: 19.0 W (FNB58 @ 9.01 V / 2.11 A) — inside Apple’s ~20–27 W wired ceiling (MacRumors).
- Same-lab-week A/B (concrete numbers): JR-S-CL20 18.9 W / 0.15 V @ 2A / 121 cm / 21 g; JR-S-CL30B 19.1 W / 0.14 V @ 2A / 122 cm / 24 g; Anker A8652H21 19.5 W / 0.17 V @ 2A / 183 cm / verified MFi. CL36M sits electrically with CL20 — the 36-month listing does not buy a higher wattage class. JR-S-CL24M (~123 EGP, 24-month listing, 1m listed) is a warranty-sibling SKU; it was not instrumented on this sample date — no electrical superiority is claimed either way.
- Mid-span surface temp after 10 min at 5V/2A: 36.0°C (BENETECH GM320, ε=0.95) in a 28.4°C room. USB 2.0 data only (480 Mbps). Not for iPhone 15/16/17 (USB-C native). Not on Anker cable recall lists (Joyroom brand — A8482/A8483/A8465 checked at anker.com/product-recalls 2026-07-24).
How this fits Egyptian use — deep dive (airlines · heat · electricity)
CairoVolt is an independent retailer — this cable carries our store warranty. JR-S-CL36M is Joyroom’s braided USB-C→Lightning SKU whose listing highlights a 36-month warranty term (~131 EGP) for Egypt’s still-large Lightning iPhone base (iPhone 8–14, SE 2020/2022, Lightning iPads). Read “36mos” as warranty / marketing language: our bench numbers sit with JR-S-CL20 (18.9 W / 0.15 V @ 2A), not above JR-S-CL30B’s slightly tougher double-braid class (19.1 W / 0.14 V). Six scenarios. RIGHT FOR: (1) LIGHTNING iPHONE DAILY DRIVER WHO WANTS A LONGER LISTED WARRANTY TERM — Apple caps wired peak at ~20–27W (MacRumors); we measured 19.0W into iPhone 13 via A2147 30W PD (FNB58) — phone-gated, same class as CL20/CL30B. (2) STUDENT / SHARED-HOUSE SPARE at ~131 EGP — braided jacket resists bag abrasion better than glossy TPE; ~13 EGP above CL20 (~118) and ~8 EGP above CL24M (~123) buys the longer listed term, not a higher wattage. (3) CAREEM / UBER DRIVER with a USB-C car charger (Anker A2741 30W / A2732 35W / Joyroom car charger) — 1.2m reaches cigarette lighter → phone in the passenger seat. (4) LIGHTNING iPad 9th gen at AUC/GUC/Cairo University — pairs with a 20–30W PD brick for a normal session. (5) FAMILY DRAWER cable when the buyer is comparing Joyroom warranty-sibling SKUs (CL24M 24-month vs CL36M 36-month) and accepts vendor-stated (not Apple-verified) authentication. (6) TRAVEL / EGYPTAIR CARRY-ON — 22g measured; pocket-friendly. WRONG FOR: (7) BUYER WHO NEEDS CONFIRMED APPLE MFi — our sample had no MFi packaging mark; iOS showed the accessory warning; buy Anker A8652H21 / A8612H11 if silent iOS acceptance matters (~599 EGP for 1.8m SureIStrong). (8) BUYER WHO ASSUMES “36mos” MEANS FASTER CHARGING — measured peak 19.0W vs CL20 18.9W is noise inside Apple’s ceiling, not a warranty-driven power uplift. (9) iPHONE 15 / 16 / 17 — USB-C native; use Joyroom JR-S-CC60 or Anker A8865-class USB-C to USB-C. (10) MacBook / USB-C iPad Pro — Lightning cannot deliver laptop-class PD. HEAT: Cairo July–August mean high 35°C (WeatherSpark). Mid-span at 5V/2A was 36.0°C (GM320) in a 28.4°C room — fine at Lightning-class current; keep cables shaded on a Cairo dashboard. AUTHENTICITY: check printed “JR-S-CL36M” on the housing and GTIN 6956116750213 on the packaging; do not assume MFi from the Joyroom logo or from the “36 months” warranty callout alone. ELECTRICITY: fully charging an iPhone 13 (12.41 Wh) from a 20W wall brick via this cable uses ≈0.017 kWh — under 4 piastres on the EgyptERA Sept-2024 tariff. SAME-BRAND + CROSS-BRAND A/B: vs CL20 — electrically twins (19.0 vs 18.9 W; both 0.15 V @ 2A; both MFi not verified); CL36M is the warranty-term upsell. vs CL30B — CL30B wins tougher double-braid + aluminum shells (24 g, 0.14 V) at ~214 EGP; CL36M wins lower price + longer listed warranty term. vs CL24M — listing A/B only this date (24 vs 36 months; ~123 vs ~131 EGP; 1m vs 1.2m listed); CL24M not instrumented here. vs Anker A8652H21 — Anker wins verified MFi / silent iOS and 1.8m reach; Joyroom wins price and braided 1.2m bag fit.
