This innovative cable connects to a wall adapter on one end, while the opposite end splits into two separate USB-C connectors. This design allows you to power a phone and a laptop or tablet simultaneously from a single outlet, drastically reducing cable clutter without compromising on charging performance. The four-foot cable includes a three-foot main section and two one-foot branches, which can be neatly adjusted using a built-in slider. Constructed from tough braided nylon, it has passed rigorous testing for over 10,000 bends, ensuring it stands up to everyday use without fraying or damage.

When used with a compatible 140W wall adapter, the cable delivers a maximum power output of 140W. This is sufficient to recharge a 16-inch MacBook Pro to 50 percent battery in roughly 20 minutes. If you connect a second device, the cable intelligently distributes power based on each device’s specific requirements. With two gadgets plugged in, the maximum power delivery adjusts to 130W, provided one of the devices is consuming more than 100W.

Beyond charging, the cable supports USB 2.0 data transfer speeds, reaching up to 480 Mbps for quick file sharing between devices. It is also fully compatible with advanced power management protocols, including Power Delivery, Programmable Power Supply, and PowerIQ 3.0, ensuring efficient and safe power distribution across a wide range of electronics.
