Need a Lightning, USB-C, or micro USB connection? There’s a cable that can handle all three.

This is my favorite combination travel charger/battery pack. Now here’s my favorite cable to go with it.

Imagine this: Your phone charges with a Lightning cable but your partner’s Android phone uses USB-C. Your Bluetooth headphones and your Kindle? They still use micro USB.

You could travel with three different types of cables.

Or, you could travel with one that works with all three.

 

Anker’s PowerLine II 3-in-1 Cable is a micro USB charging cable that has interchangeable USB-C and Lightning tips attached to its end. If you need to charge an iPhone or a pair of AirPods, pop the Lightning connector onto the end of the cable. Charging an Android phone or a Nintendo Switch? Slide on the USB-C connector.

 

In addition to cutting down cable clutter when you’re traveling, the PowerLine II also comes in handy when you’re running around town. Whether your Kindle needs a quick boost from your car USB port or you need to charge your iPhone at a restaurant, you have a cable that’ll do the job.

The PowerLine II is available in white or black. It’s reinforced at the joints for added durability and comes with a lifetime warranty; if it does wear out, Anker will send you a replacement for free.

One day I hope we won’t need this kind of cable because every mobile device charges over the same kind of connection. But until then, the PowerLine II is a worthwhile $18 purchase.

Twist’s Take: Why carry three cables when you only need one?
