A USB-C to Lightning cable is a versatile charging and data transfer cable designed to connect devices with a USB-C port to those with a Lightning port. Typically, one end of the cable features a USB-C connector, which is widely used for modern devices such as laptops, tablets, and smartphones, while the other end has an Apple Lightning connector, commonly used for iPhones, iPads, and certain accessories.

This cable allows users to:

• Charge Apple devices (like iPhones or iPads) via a USB-C charger.
• Transfer data between USB-C devices and Apple devices, ensuring fast data speeds.
• Fast charge compatible devices, especially with higher wattage USB-C power adapters, enabling quicker charging times compared to traditional USB-A cables.

The USB-C to Lightning cable supports both USB Power Delivery (PD) for rapid charging and data synchronization for quick file transfers. It’s commonly used with modern power adapters, Macs, and newer iPad models.
