Introduction

Apple’s 2-meter USB-C Charge Cable (model numbers MLL82ZM/A, MU2G3ZE/A) offers a significant advantage over shorter cables: reach. But does this extra length compromise quality or durability? I’ve been using this cable daily for the past month to put it through its paces, testing its charging speed, durability, and overall usability.

Features

The most prominent feature is, of course, the length. Two meters is a substantial improvement for anyone who finds themselves constantly stretching their charging cable or needing to charge their device from a distance. Beyond that, the cable itself feels robust, with a braided nylon exterior that promises some level of resistance against wear and tear. The USB-C connectors at both ends are firmly built, and they fit snugly into my devices. The white color is sleek and clean, which matches well with Apple devices.

Performance

Charging performance was consistent with other Apple USB-C cables I’ve used. I didn’t notice any significant differences in charging speed compared to shorter, official Apple cables. My iPhone 13 Pro Max charged at its typical fast-charging speed, and my iPad Pro also charged without issue. The cable handled fast charging without any noticeable heat build-up, even during extended use. I’ve also used it with multiple devices and different power adapters, and I haven’t encountered any compatibility issues so far. The cable’s length allows flexible charging options, which is a huge plus. I could comfortably charge my phone while working on my laptop, or even while lying in bed.

Pros & Cons

Pros:

• Extra length provides flexibility and convenience.
• Durable braided nylon exterior.
• Fast and reliable charging performance.
• Good compatibility with various Apple devices.
• Sleek and minimalist design.

Cons:

• Price point is slightly higher than some third-party alternatives.
• The white color may be prone to showing stains or marks over time.
• Length can be cumbersome if not managed properly.

Final Verdict

The Apple USB-C Charge Cable (2m) – MLL82ZM/A, MU2G3ZE/A, delivers on its promise of added length and reliable charging performance. While the price is a consideration, the durability, fast charging capabilities, and convenience of the extended length make it a worthwhile investment for anyone who values these features. If you need a longer, high-quality USB-C charging cable for your Apple devices, I highly recommend this cable.
