Anker Prime USB-C to USB-C Cable (240W, Upcycled-Braided)
Plenty of USB-C cables look alike. This one is built for the heavy lifting. The Anker Prime USB-C to USB-C Cable carries 240W, enough to charge a 16-inch MacBook Pro, the big laptop so many designers, editors and developers live on.
It's braided and rated for 300,000 bends, which matters for a cord that gets coiled into a backpack, unplugged from a café wall and plugged back in every single day. It's the sort of upgrade a person rarely buys for themselves and appreciates every time they reach for it.
Free to start. They get a beautiful gift page and pick their own shipping address.
Who it’s for
Why it makes a good gift
Think of it as a thank-you for the person who carried your project over the finish line on a laptop that never seemed to close.
- For the freelance designer or video editor: a cable that keeps pace with a 16-inch MacBook Pro.
- For the developer on your team: a sturdy spare for the bag, so the desk cable can stay put.
- For the client-side IT lead who saved the launch: a small, practical nod they'll use daily.
It appears in our employee appreciation gifts guide because it's useful without feeling like swag. To build a fuller kit, the Anker 523 Charger (Nano 3, 47W) is a pocket-size dual USB-C charger that can run a MacBook Air, or a phone and tablet, from one plug.

Questions, answered
Can it really charge a big laptop?
Yes. It carries 240W, which is enough to charge a 16-inch MacBook Pro, so it suits a power-hungry laptop.
How durable is it?
It's braided and rated for 300,000 bends, built for a cable that gets coiled, packed and plugged in every day.
How is it different from the standard Anker 240W braided cable?
Both are 240W and braided. The standard one is pitched on its soft-touch feel, knot-free storage and a choice of 3 ft or 6 ft. The Prime is the one for a heavy laptop user, with its 300,000-bend rating.
