Mcdodo MCA3681 240W PD3.1 USB-C to USB-C High-Speed Charging and Data Cable 2m

A 240W PD3.1 USB-C to USB-C high-speed charging and data cable from Mcdodo, the MCA3681 supports up to 48V/5A output for fast charging of laptops and mobile devices, with heavy-duty alloy connectors, nylon braided construction, bend-protection joints, USB2.0 backwards compatibility, and a 2m cable length. A 1.2m version is available as the MCA-3680.

Product Overview

The Mcdodo MCA3681 is the 2m version of the MCA-3680 240W PD3.1 cable, sharing identical specifications and construction but providing the additional cable length required for desktop charging stations, under-desk setups, bedside charging, and vehicle installations where a 1.2m cable does not reach. At 240W maximum output with up to 48V at 5A, the MCA3681 delivers the highest power level available under the PD3.1 standard for USB-C laptops, high-performance tablets, and mobile devices with PD3.1 compatible chargers.

The heavy-duty alloy connector housings provide durability at the plug connection points, while the nylon braided outer jacket and bend-protection joints at both ends protect the cable from kinking and damage at the most common stress points. Backwards compatible with USB2.0 standards for use with a wide range of USB-C devices and chargers at lower power levels.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the MCA3681 and the MCA-3680?

Both are identical 240W PD3.1 USB-C to USB-C cables with the same alloy connectors, nylon braid, bend protection, and USB2.0 backwards compatibility. The MCA3681 is 2m long; the MCA-3680 is 1.2m long. Choose based on the reach required for your specific charging location.

Does the MCA3681 work with standard 65W or 100W chargers?

Yes. The MCA3681 is backwards compatible and will work with PD2.0 and USB2.0 chargers at their supported power levels. The 240W maximum is only delivered when both the charger and device support PD3.1.

Why would I need a 240W cable at 2m?

Longer cables are useful for desktop setups, under-desk charging stations, bedside tables, and any location where the device or charger is further away. The 2m length provides more flexibility in routing without pulling on the connected device.
