Olight MCC4 magnetic USB-C charging cable, Digi Mart USA News: Olight plans to release a new Magnetic Charging Cable, the MCC4, alongside its ArkTac flashlight series. The cable keeps the magnetic connection used to charge flashlights but adds a USB-C connection on the charger side.
According to a publisher report based on a hands-on look at the cable during Olight’s O-Fan Day in Apeldoorn, Netherlands, the MCC4 can charge flashlights at up to 10 watts. Markings on the back of the connector show an output of 5V–2A followed by 4.2V–1A.
The report notes that this matches the MCC3 cable, which is also rated for 10 watts (2A at 5V). Olight claims the MCC4 is 75 percent faster than the older MCC1 cable, which was limited to 1 ampere.
The report does not provide independent testing of these speed claims.
The publisher report says no compatibility issues are expected, and that the MCC4 should be able to charge older flashlights. According to the company, future products yet to be announced will also use the MCC4. Olight also plans to sell the cable separately in the long term, but for now it will be exclusively bundled with the new ArkTac series, which goes on sale during Black Friday.
The publisher notes that the author received information about the article during an event hosted by the manufacturer, and that travel and accommodation costs were fully or partially covered by Olight. The manufacturer had no influence on the article and no obligation to publish it.
