Best Practices for Using Your Magnilink Magnetic Cable

Last updated on Aug 06, 2025

Using your Magnilink Magnetic Cable is easy and satisfying — but to get the best performance and durability, a few simple steps and precautions go a long way. Here’s how to use your cable like a pro.


📦 What’s Included?

Depending on the model you ordered, your cable will come with either:

  • A pack of 2 USB-C magnetic tips

  • Or a set of 3 magnetic tips: USB-C, Micro-USB, and iOS (Lightning)

These tips are reusable, interchangeable, and designed for long-term use with all your devices.


🧼 Step 1 – Clean Your Charging Port

Before inserting the tip into your phone or device, it’s important to clean the charging port.

Dust, lint, or debris inside your port can:

  • Cause weak magnetic hold

  • Lead to tips falling out

  • Or even cause a short-circuit

🧰 Use an air spray or a wooden toothpick to gently remove any dirt.

⚠️ Never use metal tools — they could damage your port!


🔌 Step 2 – Insert the Magnetic Tip

Gently insert the magnetic tip into your device’s charging port. Make sure:

  • The tip sits flush and firmly

  • There’s no wiggle or looseness

You can leave the tip inside your device — it’s safe and won’t harm your phone.


✅ Step 3 – You’re Good to Go!

Now just bring your cable close — it’ll snap into place magnetically.

Enjoy instant charging without fumbling with cables!

(That wasn’t too complicated, was it?)


📝 Tips to Maximize the Life of Your Cable

🧲 1. Leave the Tip In

You can safely leave the magnetic tip inside your device — it won’t damage your port and actually helps protect it from wear and tear.

↘️ 2. Disconnect Gently

To unplug the cable, use a diagonal motion rather than pulling straight.

This reduces stress on the connector and prevents it from bending or breaking.

❌ Don’t yank it out vertically — this can weaken or damage the connector over time.

💥 3. Protect Against Drops

The magnetic tips are made with precision — but magnet material is more fragile than standard metal.

  • A hard drop can damage the tip.

  • If it becomes chipped or cracked, stop using it and replace the tip.

🧹 4. Clean Magnets Periodically

If you notice that the magnet feels weaker over time, check for dust or debris on either side of the connection (cable head or tip).

  • Use a soft cloth or cotton swab with isopropyl alcohol to clean it.

  • Avoid moisture or liquid cleaners.
