Spigen Durasync Usb-c To Usb-c 2.0 Cable 000ca25703_2 Pack
USB cable without known PFAS concerns; no targeted treatment.
This standard USB-C cable uses typical materials without water-resistant, stain-resistant, or nonstick coatings that commonly contain PFAS. The brand makes no PFAS claims.

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.
Connector corrosion and contact integrity
Repeated insertion and removal of USB-C connectors can wear gold plating or cause corrosion over time, reducing electrical safety and function rather than causing chemical hazard; this is a longevity issue, not a toxicity concern.
What’s reassuring
Base material not linked to PFAS
The main material recorded for this product is not one associated with PFAS.
PVC degradation and phthalate migration
PVC cable jackets can degrade under heat or UV exposure, potentially releasing additives; however, no specific degradation or migration is documented for Spigen cables under normal indoor use, and skin contact risk is minimal.
Bacterial or mold growth in cable jacket
PVC is not a growth medium for mold or bacteria; no specific risk is known for this cable type under typical storage and use conditions.
Lead
Standard USB-C connectors in the mass market are not known to contain lead or cadmium; Spigen does not disclose connector composition, but no red flags or recalls exist for this product line.

What it's made of and why it matters
The Spigen Durasync cable uses a PVC (polyvinyl chloride) outer jacket over a copper core with standard USB-C connectors. PVC is a common, well-established material for cable insulation and does not inherently pose toxicity risks during normal handling or use. The copper core is industry standard for data and power transmission and poses no safety concern in this application.
The brand's record and disclosure
Spigen does not publicly disclose detailed material safety or PFAS testing information for their cable products. The brand has no known recalls or established safety controversies for USB cables. Spigen maintains a reputation for affordable, functional accessories but does not distinguish itself through third-party safety certifications or transparency statements on this product line.
How it compares in its category
USB-C cables from established manufacturers like Spigen are functionally interchangeable and carry comparable material risk profiles. This 2-pack offering is typical of the market; no evidence suggests Spigen's formulation differs materially from competitors in safety terms. Premium alternatives sometimes highlight additional shielding or certification, but the baseline safety of a standard cable is well-established across brands.
If you buy it
Use the cable within normal temperature ranges (avoid prolonged exposure above 60°C / 140°F, which can degrade PVC). Inspect regularly for cracking, cuts, or exposed wire; discard if the jacket is damaged. Store away from direct sunlight and heat sources to extend jacket life. Replace if you notice reduced charging speed or data transfer, which may indicate internal wire degradation.
