Description
The ASUS ROG LCR50 represents the next generation of power delivery, engineered to meet the demanding requirements of high-performance gaming hardware. This 1.5-meter USB-C cable bridges the gap between portability and extreme power, supporting up to 240W (5A) to charge everything from flagship smartphones to power-hungry ROG Strix laptops. With its premium aluminum alloy housings and reinforced braided exterior, it is built to withstand the rigors of daily travel while maintaining peak electrical efficiency through advanced internal circuitry.
This product is for:
- Hardcore gamers requiring a reliable replacement or spare cable for high-wattage ROG gaming laptops.
- Tech enthusiasts who want a future-proof charging solution capable of the maximum 240W USB Power Delivery 3.1 standard.
- Creative professionals using high-end workstations and MacBook Pros that demand stable, high-amperage power input.
- Daily commuters looking for a tangle-resistant, durable 1.5m cable that balances reach with portability.
- Safety-conscious users who prioritize E-Marker chip integration to prevent overcharging and thermal issues.

Using the ROG LCR50 feels distinctly premium compared to standard plastic cables. The braided texture prevents the common frustration of tangling in a backpack, while the 1.5-meter length provides just enough slack to use a device comfortably while it is plugged into a wall outlet or a desk-mounted hub. During high-wattage charging sessions, the aluminum alloy connectors dissipate heat effectively, and the AVS technology works silently in the background to negotiate the optimal voltage for the connected device, ensuring the battery remains healthy over long-term use.
While standard USB-C cables often peak at 60W or 100W, the ROG LCR50 is part of the elite tier of 240W-rated cables, making it significantly more versatile for the latest PD 3.1 devices. Unlike basic rubber-coated cables that fray at the neck, the reinforced strain relief and aluminum construction of the LCR50 offer superior longevity. While it focuses on maximum power delivery rather than high-speed video throughput (limited to 480 Mbps data), it excels as a dedicated charging solution where power stability is the primary concern.
