Joyroom JR-S-CL36M USB-C to Lightning Cable | Braided Exterior
Quick Summary
- Joyroom JR-S-CL36M (store SKU JK04, GTIN 6956116750213) is a ~1.2m braided USB-C to Lightning cable for Lightning iPhones (8–14 and SE) and Lightning iPads, listed near ~131 EGP. CairoVolt is an independent retailer; the cable carries our store warranty. The “36mos” slug is warranty / marketing language on the listing — it 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. On FNIRSI FNB58 the Lightning-end authentication response was NOT confirmed as a genuine Apple C-series IC the way Anker SureIStrong A8652H21 was. 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 — do not invent electrical superiority 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.
