Fairphone Cables & Chargers - Taglines Explained
Most smartphone accessories are treated as throwaways. Cheaply made, easily broken, and quickly replaced. At Fairphone, we look at our cables and chargers as an opportunity to set a new standard for longevity, fair materials, and responsible manufacturing.
Fairphone Chargers
Compact. Universal. Long-lasting.
We designed our fast-charging power adapters to eliminate clutter and cut down on electronic waste while delivering maximum efficiency.
- Compact: Built using 98% recycled plastics and a 100% recycled copper-zinc alloy, our pocket-sized 30W USB-C Fast Charger and portable 65W Triple-Port Fast Charger deliver faster, more energy-efficient charging for all your devices.
- Universal: Whether you are powering a Fairphone, a laptop, a tablet, or an audio device, our chargers support multiple charging protocols to power your entire tech ecosystem safely and effectively. Charging protocols supported include PD3.0, PPS :3.3-21V3.0A; CP 5V1.5A; BC1.2 QC2.0/QC3.0/QC4+; A.F.C.; FCP; SCP; APPLE; Samsung; and MTK PE+2.0.
- Long-lasting: Our fast chargers earned the independent LONGTIME® quality label, meeting dozens of criteria covering manufacturing, robustness, repair support, and spare parts availability.
Fairphone Long-Life Cables
One cable. All your devices.
- Built on universal USB-C power delivery standards, our cables and power adapters work seamlessly across your entire tech ecosystem, whether you are charging a Fairphone, a laptop, a tablet, an audio headset like the Fairbuds XL, or a device from another brand.
- Paired with our compact 30W USB-C Fast Charger or 65W Triple-Port Fast Charger that supports multiple charging protocols, a single long-life cable can handle fast charging for your high-power laptop at your desk or your smartphone on the go.
- Engineered with ultra-durable outer braiding and reinforced housing, our USB-C 3.2 Long Life Cable cleared over 100,000 bend tests during lab trials, while our USB-C 2.0 Long Life Cable has cleared over 70,000 bend tests. Like our chargers, our long-life cables were awarded the independent LONGTIME® label for long product life and minimal breakdown risks.
