2. For all your devices

Multi Charging Cable

Multi Charging Cable

We all own tons of gadgets, and finding the right cords or keeping them in one area without getting them all tangled up can be a real challenge. This multi-device charging cable is wrapped in nylon rope, which keeps the wires safe from fraying and breaking. This is a two-pack 4-in-1 charger cable with a four-foot cord for easy access. This includes a USB tip, two USB type C connectors and a micro USB charger.

Promising review: "Works great so far. I only use USB-C and micro USB so far. Seems to be very good quality. There are LEDs that light up on the plugs while it is plugged into a USB power source, so you may not want to leave this plugged in if you have a battery for the power source, as it will have some power drain even without any devices plugged in to charge."
