# Anker Flow USB-C Cable A8553012, 240W, 1.8m

Anker Flow USB-C Cable A8553012 is a 1.8m USB-C to USB-C cable rated for charging up to 240W. Its soft silicone-style exterior and included organiser suit everyday charging, while its 480 Mbps data rate and lack of screen-mirroring support make it a basic data cable rather than a display link.

## At a glance

- USB-C to USB-C cable with manufacturer-claimed charging support up to 240W when used with a compatible Power Delivery charger.
- Soft-touch silicone exterior and a flexible, tangle-resistant design are intended to make handling and storage easier.
- Data transfer is listed at 480 Megabits Per Second. The cable does not support screen mirroring or media display.

## Pros

- The 1.8m length offers more reach than a short lead for desk, sofa or bedside charging.
- A soft-touch exterior and included silicone cord organiser address handling comfort and tidier storage.
- The stated 240W ceiling accommodates high-power charging setups when both charger and device support the required Power Delivery level.

## Cons

- The 480 Mbps data rate is modest, and the cable is not suitable for screen mirroring or media display.
- Reaching the claimed charging performance depends on using a compatible high-speed Power Delivery charger and device.

## Before you buy

- The 240W maximum requires a compatible Power Delivery high-speed charger. The listing says charging speed may be limited on the 16-inch MacBook Pro \(2021 / 2022\).
- The manufacturer advises storing the cable after use and keeping it away from liquids and debris.
- Listing details are inconsistent: the selected title specifies 1.8m and model A8553012, while another listing panel names A8552. The details also list 6 Feet rather than 1.8m, and identify 12 Amps and 20 Volts alongside 240 watts. A separate claim of charging a 16-inch MacBook Pro \(M3 Pro\) to 50% in 26 minutes sits alongside a warning that charging is limited for 2021/2022 16-inch MacBook Pro models. Confirm the selected variant and device-specific charging compatibility before purchase.

## In the box

- USB-C to USB-C cable, 1.8m (Check selected pack): Named in the feature text as a supplied item.
- Silicone cord organiser (Check selected pack): Feature text says it is included, but a separate included-components field states “No”.
- Welcome guide (Check selected pack): Feature text lists this, while a separate included-components field states “No”. Check the selected listing.

## A good fit for

- USB-C phone, tablet and laptop owners wanting a longer charging lead with a soft-touch feel.
- Buyers who need a high stated charging ceiling and can pair it with compatible Power Delivery equipment.
- People who value a cable organiser for packing or keeping a charging area tidy.

## Less suited to

- Anyone needing a cable for screen mirroring or media display.
- Users seeking faster-than-480 Mbps file transfers.
- Buyers without a compatible USB-C Power Delivery charger who expect the stated maximum charging capability.

## Customer feedback

Customer feedback highlights flexibility, a soft feel, charging performance, functionality and the cable's length, with positive mentions of value. These are customer impressions rather than a guarantee of 240W charging, which still depends on compatible equipment. The overall rating distribution is mostly five-star, but a smaller one-star share means experiences are not uniformly positive, and ratings alone do not explain why.
- Positive themes: Customer feedback describes the cable as flexible and soft, and reports satisfaction with charging speed, functionality and length.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does this cable support 240W charging?
The manufacturer claims support up to 240W, but reaching that level requires a compatible Power Delivery charger and a device that supports it.
### Can it connect a laptop to a monitor?
No. The listing says it does not support screen mirroring or media display.
### How fast is data transfer?
The listed rate is 480 Megabits Per Second, so it is suited to basic transfers rather than buyers seeking a higher-speed data cable.
### What is included?
The feature text lists one 1.8m USB-C to USB-C cable, a silicone cord organiser and a welcome guide. A separate included-components field says “No”, so check the selected listing for the actual package contents.
