Charging multiple devices at once doesn’t always require a bulky multi-port charger. Sometimes, a smart 2-in-1 does the trick. This Anker model makes it easy to double up on a single cable, and it’s only $17 right now thanks to a 35 percent discount at Amazon.
It’s a four foot cable with three USB-C plugs. One on one end, two on the other. The main cable is three feet long, with two one foot extensions that can be adjusted using a cable slider. When charging a single device, it supports up to 140W (with a compatible 140W charger), which is more than enough to power most laptops.
When charging two devices at once, the cable intelligently splits the power based on each device’s needs. So if you’re charging both a laptop and a smartphone, the laptop gets priority while the phone draws less. The total output maxes out at 130W when split.
Wrapped in braided nylon for added durability, this cable is a cool and portable way to keep your devices powered up. And, at just $17, it’s an absolute bargain.
