Surface Connect to USB C Charging Cable for Microsoft Surface Pro

This cable let me charge my Surface from a USB-C PD adapter without carrying the full Microsoft power brick. The six-foot braided cable is convenient, and the Surface connector attached securely. It only works for charging and requires a sufficiently powerful PD charger, so it will not turn a low-watt phone charger into a laptop charger. Charging speed was [similar/slower] than the original adapter.

Won’t charge my Windows Surface Laptop 2. Was hoping to avoid buying a bully brick charger, and this one fit the voltage/watts needed, but my laptop will say it’s charging but the battery % will just keep going down

I'm so happy!! Having the option to use a USB-C cord for my Surface Pro 6 instead of the big clunky stock charger is amazing. I was hesitant about this cable working, but it seems to be working great. This is only my first time using it, so I'll try to update if anything goes wrong. I just plugged it in a few minutes ago; it's 11:35 and my battery level is currently at 12%. Charging cable itself is pretty straightforward. I personally had a slight hiccup at first because the little shield/sheath thing around the metal chargy end on my cable apparently can shift slightly forward and backwards and prevented it from being plugged into my charging base properly. So I guess that's a slight manufacturing issue since I've never had anything like that happen before, and a vast majority of my tech uses USB-C cords, but it didn't actually prevent me from using it; I just doubted it would work to the point that I didn't really try to see what the problem could be. Historically, I have gone through THREE chargers for my Surface until now. The first one was the stock one issued by Microsoft, and it eventually ended up not charging anymore. I replaced it with another one from Microsoft and that one held up well, until our new kitten decided to use the cable as a chew toy... And then did it to my cheap replacement charger in rapid succession. So the fact that this cable has the braided cover is huge for me, because it's safer for my kitten and also because it prevents me from being mad at the cat again (lol). So on the durability front, it's at least really promising for now. As for charging power, it's now 11:45 and the battery level is at 21%. So that seems promising too! So don't do what I did at first, and make sure you actually have the cable plugged into the charging base properly if yours doesn't work. Also make sure that you have the proper charging base for it too. There is a light; mine was functional as soon as it was plugged in with no blinking. Definitely a solid purchase so far! Update on 12/8: I've been using this as my only Surface charger for almost five months now, and it still works great. I sometimes have an issue where it stops charging unless it's positioned a certain way but I haven't figured out when or why it happens yet. I'm still happy with this charging cord and I would buy it again and recommend to others.

TL;DR: Cable works great, as long as the USB-C charger has EXACTLY 15 V, 3 A as one of its output modes. "ONN." brand 67 W laptop charger from Walmart works great. This cable works excellent as a more travel-friendly charging cable for my old Pro 4. However, I initially couldn't get it to work using an Apple laptop charging brick. BUT, that's because the Surface requires strictly 15 V, 3 A (45W) input for charging. The Apple brick provided two traditional phone outputs, 5 V and 9 V, but the only higher output it provided was a 20.3 V output, which is too high for the surface. This caused the brick to switch down to likely the 9 V output, and prevented any charging (even though the light on the Surface end turned on). To use this cable, you MUST FIND a USB-C transformer that lists "15 V, 3 A" as one of its output modes, NOT just one that has 45 W or greater power output. For this purpose, I purchased the "Onn." brand 67 W USB-C laptop charger from Walmart, and then the cable worked perfectly. Anything below 45 W single-port output will not charge the Surface period, and even at or above 45 W, it requires precisely 15 V, 3 A to charge. Anyone who complains of using the "right" charger and the cable still not working has probably not verified their brick is capable of this output. All of that said, I have not had the cable/used it for long, so I can't speak on the durability. If it were to fail quickly after a few uses, I will update this review.

Suddenly stopped working one year after purchase. But during that year, this was the perfect replacement for the original Surface adapter.

I have an OLD Surface Pro that no longer holds a battery charge. I also have a desk that doesn't have enough electrical outlets to keep all my things plugged into the wall at once. I *do* have 120W USB hub so I make a lot of use of that, and this charging cable is EXACTLY what I needed to be able to use my Surface again! The magnet bit snaps into place neatly and securely, and the length is convenient. Without this, my Surface would be a brick! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Lasted a year and a half, then stopped working, outside the warranty window of course. Only noticed when my computer stopped charging. Just know it may only last that long, which may be worth it for the price

I bought this mid September 2025, it is now mid June 2026 and this product had very light use, once a week, if that and now I have to play with the cable and position it a certain way for it to work. Complete waste of money.

Cable could not deliver enough charge to the device - prompts notice of "slow charger plugged in".

The cord works perfectly fine there’s a few reviews about cord not working but I’m going to guess that they are using to low watts power plug the surface pro 6 needs 40watts minimum a standard usb c plug are around 20watts

Works perfectly well!!

I am very happy to get this cable. It makes it easier for me to carry small compatible USB type c adapter and use it for both my smartphone and my Surface pro

Compre este cable por necesidad, para tener 2 cargadores, en diferentes sitios. Excelente, pero solo con las especificaciones indicadas por el fabricante. Cargadores a partir de los 45 W, con los demás no funciona. Uso cargador de 65 W y en media hora al 80%, Para mi imprescindible.
