Full details
The Qdos PowerLoop is for anyone who frequently uses their smartphone and struggles with battery life or tangled cables. Its key benefit is providing a secure, always-attached charging and data transfer solution that doubles as a lanyard, freeing your pockets and keeping your device accessible. A potential caveat is that it's specifically a USB-C to USB-C cable, so compatibility with older devices may be limited. This 2-in-1 accessory combines a durable lanyard with a high-performance USB-C cable, supporting up to 60W charging and 480 Mbps data transfer, designed for convenience and mobility.

FAQs
Is the Qdos PowerLoop compatible with iPhones?
The Qdos PowerLoop features a USB-C to USB-C cable. For newer iPhones (iPhone 15 and later), it will work directly. For older iPhones with a Lightning port, you would need a USB-C to Lightning adapter.
Can I charge my laptop with this cable?
Yes, the PowerLoop supports up to 60W charging. If your laptop charges via USB-C and requires 60W or less, it should charge effectively. Ensure your power adapter also supports USB-C PD (Power Delivery).
How do I clean the lanyard and cable?
Wipe the lanyard and cable with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals to maintain the material's integrity.
What is the data transfer speed?
The PowerLoop supports data transfer speeds of up to 480 Mbps, which is equivalent to USB 2.0 speeds.
Is the carabiner strong enough to prevent drops?
The carabiner is designed for secure attachment to bags and belts to keep your phone accessible. While it helps prevent accidental drops, it's important to ensure it's properly fastened. It is not designed to hold significant weight beyond that of a phone.
Can I replace the cable part if it gets damaged?
The cable is integrated into the lanyard design and is not user-replaceable. If the cable is damaged, the entire unit may need to be replaced.
What color options are available?
This guide is for the White variant. Please check product listings for other available color options from Qdos.
Troubleshooting
Device not charging
Ensure both ends of the USB-C cable are securely connected. Verify that the power source (wall adapter, power bank, computer) is functioning correctly. Check if the USB-C port on your device is clean and free of debris.
Data transfer is slow or not working
Confirm that the USB-C port on both the device and the computer supports 480 Mbps data transfer. Try using a different USB port on your computer. Ensure the cable is fully extended and connections are secure.
Carabiner is difficult to open/close
Gently try to open and close the carabiner several times. If it feels stiff, check for any obstructions. Avoid forcing it, as this may damage the mechanism. Ensure it is properly aligned when closing.
Lanyard feels too short/long
The length is fixed. Consider using the carabiner in conjunction with a longer lanyard or keychain if you require more extension, or adjust where you attach the PowerLoop for a different hanging position.
