Eliminate the need for a million different cables with these versatile charging cords.

That’s where multi-charging cords come in handy. These cables come equipped with multiple types of connectors – Lightning, USB-C, micro-USB, and the like – that can be switched out depending on the device you need to charge, eliminating the need for a million different cables. 

They’re especially handy for travel – want to bring your Lightning-powered iPhone and micro-USB-port-equipped Bluetooth speaker on a trip without jamming a million cables into your carry-on? Just pack one of these cords in your suitcase and you’ll have a way to charge both devices on the go.

There are numerous charging cords available on the market, so you’ll never be short on options. However, if you’re looking for multi-chargers that are tangle-free, offer high-speed charging, and high durability with other versatile functions, such as USB sticks that transfer data, then you’re in the right place. Below are seven multi-charging cords that will upgrade your charging experience.

PowerLine’s Anker PowerLine II 3-in-1 cable might be the solution to charging every device in your home. Its universal compatibility makes it a popular and necessary item to have in your tech arsenal. Created with micro USB, USB-C, and lightning connectors, you can rely on one charging cable to power up a variety of devices. Anker promises that this 3-in-1 cord can withstand being bent over 12,000 times, and its MFi certified for compatibility with Apple products. The brand is so confident in its functionality that it offers free replacements for all quality issues for the lifetime of the product.

Promising review: "I've bought this cable so, so many times since it was first introduced. Not because of failure but because a friend or family member was impressed and had to have it. I have one (or two) stashed everywhere - junk drawer, nightstand, car, office, and importantly travel bags because hotel outlets are still years behind. It will be years before we have universal usb-c compliance for electronics, especially small electronics. Pick one up before Anker discontinues. (To Anker, please don't or, at least not without replacing with a usb-c cable with multi-ports!)" —KJ

Rolling Square's inCharge XL 6-in-1 multi-charging cable takes charging your devices to another level, offering six different connections on a single cord. With two input ports and three output ports, you can charge all your electronics simultaneously with its quick charging feature, thanks to the 100-watt power supply, which guarantees a maximum charging speed for your laptops, tablets, and phones.

Promising review: "I love these. I have several sizes. I can charge about anything, since each end has multiple options. The magnetic ends stick together and the flat cables don't seem to get tangled. I carry several sizes on vacation. Short ones for charging from a battery and long ones for use with chargers. The are very well built and I have yet to have one fail. You can't go wrong with these." —S Smith MD

Get it from Amazon for $29.90 (available in three colors).

This multi-charging cable is a 3-in-1 charger featuring a type-C port, a micro USB port, and an IP connector. Each purchase comes with two 4-foot-long cords, designed with military-grade fiber, which protects against excessive bending. The length allows you to charge your phone without being confined to a single area due to a short cord. Store one charger in your car, and the other at home, so you're never without an energy source.

Promising review: "Charge almost anything! The cord is only three feet long. Perfect for the car. I keep one of these in my car and one in my purse and can charge almost anything. Passengers can charge anything too. Pretty standard. Nothing overly fancy. This is my second set. My first has lasted about a year. They did not wear out and may still work perfectly. They were 'borrowed' by friends." —Peggy Clo

DeWalt's heavy-duty 4-in-1 cable prioritizes three key features: high-speed charging, durable cord, and ultimate compatibility. Designed with USB-C, micro-USB, and USB connectors, this cable is compatible with iPhone 15 series models and various Android devices. (This option does not provide lightning capability.) And because the cords were made with Kevlar, they can sustain the damage caused by constant bending and pulling. Note that charging speeds may vary based on the connection type.

Promising review: "This multi use usb charger is absolutely amazing! The heads are very easily interchangeable. I own several older samsung tablets that I have a hard time getting to charge. With this new dewalt usb charger, they charge with no issues at all. The cable provides a nice tight fit to anything that it's plugged into with no wiggle room. Whatsoever. As soon as I plugged them into all three and verified that they charged, I immediately ordered two more of these exact same cables." —Christopher Klien

Get them from Amazon: the cable without lightning for $21.98 and with a lightning cable for $29.25.

The Kevlar universal USB cable prioritizes high-speed charging, with capabilities of up to 100 watts of power through USB-C PD, and durability, as it is crafted with Kevlar. Not only can it charge your devices quickly, but its design guarantees longevity. The cable is equipped with multiple connectors for your Apple products, as it is not compatible with Android devices.

Promising review: "Love this super durable yet flexibly functional cable. I don't need to worry about my travel strains wearing out another cable, and yet have the options of plug/port variety. Really loving this and highly recommend to any road warriors or others need high durability and cable longevity. Thanks for always making high quality products, Nomad!" —Nomad customer

Get it from Nomad for $23 (originally $49; available as USB-C, with lightning and in two types).

NetDot's Gen10 2-in-1 nylon charging cable is a newer technology that offers magnetic charging for your devices. This cable performs similarly to regular cords, but the magnetic feature provides additional protection to the charging port, making it easier to connect and disconnect your devices without causing damage. The fast-charging cords come with both micro-USB and USB-C ports, but they are not compatible with Gen7/Gen12 cables or connectors.

Promising review: "I spend a lot of time in my car with my phone hooked up to charger, then getting in and out. These are great, I snatch the phone from holder and lightly pull the cord off and that's it. Getting back in just holding it near and it connects every time. I like that it comes with 3 cords and 3 each of type C, micro and lightning connectors. My phone is type C, many other things are micros and I have a few friends and family with iphones. So I can charge anyone. They are not good to use charging if there is much movement. Some times i hook a small powerbank in my pocket and charge, but the mag one will move around and stop and start charging. But 99% of what I use a cable for it does charge things pretty quick. Doubt I will go back to regular cables ever." —Zenn

Rolling Square's inCharge 6 keychain USB-C charger cable promises you'll never leave home without a charger (as long as you remember your keys). The convenient keychain feature allows the small USB charger to take up minimal space in your bag, ensuring you're always powered up. The universal cable cord makes it easy for you to connect your devices thanks to six unique combinations. 

Promising review: "Got this just in time for a flight I had today and couldn't be happier. I found out about it from an EDC YouTube video and it seemed perfect to carry in my sling pack with my power bank instead of a 3ft or longer cable and I was right. It worked perfectly with my iPhone, and to charge some ear buds. One thing I have been impressed with is the build quality and feel. I think I expected it to feel like something you'd get at a dollar store or something, but it just feels like a solid, and well constructed item. Like I said, it was great for air travel, but it will remain in my EDC." —Chris R.

Get it from Amazon for $19.90 (available in three colors).

Jixivor's coiled USB-C cable aims to eliminate tangled cords with its coiled design. The 4-in-1 charger features USB-C to USB-C, USB-C compatible with Lightning, USB-A to USB-C, and USB-A compatible with Lightning connections. The brand boasts high-speed charging, with the USB to USB-C cable powering up an iPhone from 16% to 82% in 35 minutes and the S23 from 0% to 80% in the same duration, enhancing your charging experience. Compatible with Androids and iPhones, this charger unites two rivals with one cord.

Promising review: "Excellent product!! I have been using it now since seven months now — I use this mainly in my car it stays in place and charges efficiently! I Love the color so I don’t misplace it ever :) and it works well on the go , as I carry it with me whenever I may need it, it will not tangle or be in the way!" —TaraMarie
