USB-C To Lightning Cable (MQGH2ZM/A) – 2 Meter White Review
This review dives deep into the USB-C to Lightning Cable, a 2-meter white cable boasting multiple connectors and promising fast charging capabilities. I’ve been using this cable (Model Numbers: MQGH2ZM/A, MKQ42ZM/A, MKQ42AM/A, MKQ42ZE/A , MQGH2ZE/A, MW2R3ZE/A, MQGH2FE/A) for several weeks across a range of devices, putting it through its paces to determine its true value.
The cable’s versatility immediately stands out. It’s not just a USB-C to Lightning cable; it also includes Micro-USB and mini USB connectors. This multi-connector design is fantastic for anyone who juggles multiple devices, eliminating the need for multiple cables. The 2-meter length is also appreciated, offering comfortable reach without restricting movement. The braided design feels durable, and the 90° bend near the connectors is a welcome touch, preventing strain and accidental breakage.

Charging speeds were generally good, though not exceptionally fast. With my iPhone 13 Pro Max, charging times were comparable to other similarly-priced USB-C to Lightning cables. Data transfer speeds were also adequate for everyday use. I appreciated the simultaneous charging and syncing capabilities, a feature that saved me considerable time. The durability of the cable has also impressed me; it has withstood daily use without any signs of wear or tear. However, the advertised ability to charge four devices simultaneously is a bit of an overstatement. It functions well with one device at a time across the multiple connectors but charging multiple devices concurrently showed some considerable slow-downs, resulting in significantly longer charge times than if only a single device were being charged.
Pros:
- Multi-connector design (USB-C, Lightning, Micro-USB)
- Durable braided cable
- 2-meter length
- Simultaneous charging and syncing
- 90° bend for strain relief
Cons:
- Charging multiple devices concurrently results in slow charge times
- Charging speed is not exceptionally fast
Overall, the USB-C to Lightning Cable (MQGH2ZM/A, MKQ42ZM/A, MKQ42AM/A, MKQ42ZE/A , MQGH2ZE/A, MW2R3ZE/A, MQGH2FE/A) offers good value for its price. The multi-connector design and 2-meter length are significant advantages. While the charging speed isn’t groundbreaking, it’s sufficient for most users. The durability is a plus. If you’re looking for a versatile and durable cable that can handle both charging and syncing, this is a solid choice. However, manage expectations regarding simultaneous charging of multiple devices, as the performance suffers greatly. I would recommend this cable but with the caveat to charge only one device at a time for optimal charging speed.
