Motteru launches retractable 240W USB-C cable in Japan

A cable that winds itself away

Japanese accessory maker Motteru has launched a retractable USB-C cable that stores itself in a small circular case, according to Notebookcheck. The product, called MOT-RECC100, went on sale in Japan on 13 November 2026.

The housing is roughly the size of a wireless earbud charging case, and both ends of the cable extend from it. Four lengths can be pulled out: 40 cm, 65 cm, 85 cm and 100 cm. When charging is finished, the cable winds back inside the case.

Charging power and one compromise

Despite its compact size, the cable supports USB Power Delivery Extended Power Range, a standard that allows charging at up to 240W (48V/5A). Motteru says this is enough for demanding laptops, as long as the charger and the device also support that standard.

There is a trade-off. The cable only moves data at USB 2.0 rates, topping out at 480Mbps. It is therefore not suited to copying large files between fast drives, and is best treated as a charging cable.

Durability, colours and price

Motteru states that the cable survived more than 20,000 bending cycles and 5,000 retraction cycles in testing. It weighs about 47g and comes in two colours, Almond Milk and Smoky Black, with a two-year warranty.

The regular price in Japan is ¥2,200. A limited-quantity launch offer at ¥1,480 is available through retailers including Rakuten and Yahoo Shopping, according to Notebookcheck.

Why it matters

Tangled or missing cables are a common travel nuisance, and a retractable design keeps the cable contained in one small unit. The 240W rating is notable because retractable cables of this size are usually limited to lower power.

Buyers who need fast file transfers should look elsewhere, but for charging phones, tablets and laptops on the go, the MOT-RECC100 covers most needs at a modest price.
