OnePlus SUPERVOOC Data / Charging Cable
Low risk. Standard charging cable uses PFAS-resistant materials.
Copper alloy connectors and rubber or silicone jackets without common PFAS applications. No Teflon-family coating coatings or water-repellent coating treatments present.

What’s concerning
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
No PFAS disclosure
No public statement from the brand about PFAS in this product.
Cable jacket material degradation
Silicone and TPE jackets can crack or become brittle over 2-3 years of heavy use, especially if exposed to heat or UV. This does not pose an acute safety risk but increases durability concerns and eventual replacement need.
What’s reassuring
Base material not linked to PFAS
The main material recorded for this product is not one associated with PFAS.
Connector corrosion or oxidation
Copper alloy connectors are inherently corrosion-resistant under normal indoor use. No documented cases of premature oxidation affecting OnePlus SUPERVOOC cables; risk is minimal with typical care.
Electrical fault or fire risk
This is a low-voltage (5V nominal) data and charging cable; internal design and component quality are industry-standard. No safety recalls or electrical incidents are on record. Risk is consistent with mainstream USB charging cables.
Plasticizer or volatile off-gassing from jacket
Silicone and TPE do not typically release phthalates, BPA, or volatile organic compounds under normal charging conditions. These materials have lower concern for plasticizer off-gassing compared to older PVC formulations.
Lead
Copper alloy connectors used in modern chargers are not a known source of heavy metal leaching. Regulatory compliance (RoHS in EU, similar standards elsewhere) limits lead and cadmium in electronic components; no data contradicts compliance here.

What it's made of and why it matters
OnePlus SUPERVOOC cables use copper alloy connectors for conductivity and corrosion resistance, with silicone or TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) cable jackets for flexibility and insulation. Both materials are chemically stable at the temperatures and voltages experienced during normal charging (under 5V for most devices). The internal conductors are standard copper stranding, which does not leach or degrade under typical use conditions.
The brand's record and disclosure
OnePlus has not published detailed material safety disclosures or third-party certifications (such as UL, CE safety marks) prominently for this specific cable model. The brand maintains silence on PFAS use, which is typical for consumer electronics manufacturers and does not indicate a problem given the inherent resistance of these material classes. No major safety recalls or documented hazard incidents are on record for OnePlus charging cables.
How it compares in its category
Charging cables are a low-hazard product category compared to cookware, cosmetics, or food storage. OnePlus SUPERVOOC cables are in line with standard third-party USB/proprietary charging cables from competitors; silicone and TPE jackets are industry norm with lower concern for off-gassing plasticizers compared to older PVC jackets. The copper alloy connector is durable and less prone to corrosion than cheaper alternatives, reducing failure risk over the cable's lifespan.
If you buy it
Store the cable at room temperature and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or heat sources above 60C, as silicone/TPE jackets can degrade over time if stressed thermally. Inspect regularly for visible cracking, kinking, or exposed conductors; replace immediately if damage appears. Avoid sharp bends near the connector ends, where flexing stress concentrates. Keep away from moisture and do not immerse; the connectors are not fully sealed against liquid ingress.
