The full breakdown
What it's made of and why it matters
The Mophie 67W GaN C-C cable uses a braided nylon exterior jacket over copper internal conductors. Nylon braiding is a common, inert protective layer that does not leach chemicals into food or skin contact and resists mechanical wear. Copper is the industry standard for power delivery; it does not corrode or degrade under normal USB-C use and carries no documented toxicity risk in this application.
The brand's record and disclosure
Mophie (owned by Zagg/ZAGG Inc.) maintains standard consumer electronics safety certifications (UL, FCC) for power delivery cables and does not publicly disclose PFAS use or PFAS-free commitments. No product recalls or documented safety controversies exist for this cable model. The company follows typical smartphone accessory disclosure practices without standout environmental or chemical transparency.
How it compares in its category
USB-C power delivery cables are largely commodity products with minimal material variation. This Mophie cable is typical: braided nylon jackets and copper conductors are standard across mid-to-premium consumer brands (Anker, Belkin, Apple). The 67W GaN rating is a power spec, not a safety distinction. No peer product category shows significantly lower chemical risk profiles.
If you buy it
Keep the cable away from direct heat sources above 50C (122F) to prevent nylon softening, though normal charging conditions do not reach this. Inspect the braiding for fraying or exposed copper every 6-12 months; replace if damage is visible to prevent short circuits. Store coiled loosely to avoid kink stress on internal conductors. No special cleaning is required beyond dust removal with a dry cloth.
Beyond PFAS: other things we checked
Established hazard classes for this product type, assessed from public information. These never change the PFAS grade; a Likely flag caps the Verdict at “Buy with care.”
Nylon jacket thermal degradation
Braided nylon is stable under normal USB charging temperatures (under 45C). No documented risk of chemical leaching or fume release at typical use conditions.
Copper conductor corrosion or leaching
Copper in sealed power delivery cables does not corrode under normal indoor storage or charging. No skin contact risk; internal conductor design prevents direct exposure.
Dyes or finishes in braiding
Nylon braid colorants are not publicly disclosed by Mophie. Standard industrial nylon dyes used in cable jackets are not reported to migrate or pose contact risks. No testing data available for this specific product.
Mechanical wear and insulation failure
Like all cables, the braided jacket can fray or separate with heavy use, potentially exposing copper. This is a wear hazard, not a chemical one; regular inspection mitigates risk.
Fire propagation if damaged
Nylon is flammable, but USB power delivery cables operate at low voltage (20V max) and low amperage for this application. Fire risk is minimal even if insulation is compromised, and comparable to all standard USB cables.
What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 72% confidence. It is not a lab result.
No independent PFAS lab test is on record for this exact product. A lab test could move the score in either direction.
The brand has not made a specific, verifiable PFAS-free statement, so part of this score reflects that missing disclosure rather than a confirmed material.
Formulations and coatings change between production runs. Always check the current label before buying.
