Connect Pro: One Cable to Charge All Your Devices by Jose Antunes

It’s the world’s first magnetic cable with a built-in power reader that supports both 100W USB-C PD and 27W Apple Fast Charge. It’s the Connect Pro, now on Kickstarter!

We don’t do many Kickstarter campaigns these days, as experience has shown us that many projects never reach their goal. However, it’s hard not to notice the crowdfunding campaign for the Connect Pro, billed as the “world’s first magnetic charging cable for electronic devices,” which comes from Chargeasap, a company known for its wildly successful crowdfunding campaigns, raising over $8.7 million over eleven campaigns.

The Connect Pro project, which is the company’s 12th crowdfunding campaign, launched on June 25 and raised more than $55,000, and was fully funded in less than 24 hours, a clear sign that there’s a lot of interest in a cable like the one the company announced. The campaign had a $10,000 goal — which it met within the first hour — and as I write this, it’s over $110,000 … and the campaign still has more than 50 days to go.

Backers have two options to choose from, with up to 69% off Connect Pro with Super Early Bird and Early Bird rewards starting at $19 MSRP. Each cable kit includes a 4-foot cable and your preferred tip, with black and metallic color options.

Say goodbye to cable clutter

In this technology-centric world, everyone constantly relies on multiple smart devices, whether they’re working remotely, traveling, or just on the go. Keeping everything charged can be hard work, and carrying around a tangled mess of cables is no fun either. If you’re tired of having to have a whole collection of cables to charge your different devices, then the Connect Pro is for you. With it, you can charge all your USB devices. Can you imagine needing just one cable for all of them! And a magnetic cable for easy use? The Connect Pro is designed to work with all three major USB types: USB-C, Apple Lightning, and Micro USB, which puts it in a league of its own.

Once you insert the compatible tips into your devices, it becomes a universal USB cable compatible with any modern USB devices such as smartphones, tablets, USB-C PD devices including laptops, cameras, GoPro, speakers, headphones, Nintendo Switch, microphones, and even drones to name a few. Say goodbye to cable clutter and hello to simplicity with one cable for all your charging needs!

Connect Pro is the first magnetic cable that supports both 100W USB-C PD and 27W Apple Fast Charge. It also features a built-in power reader with a sleek LED display, so you can be sure your devices are charging at maximum speed. With interchangeable tips, this single cable can charge all your devices. It’s the perfect cable for regular travelers and anyone with a busy, mobile lifestyle.

Cable overcomes Apple chip limitations

With 100W Power Delivery 3.0 PPS technology, this magnetic cable can quickly charge your laptop, which is ideal for devices like the 16″ MacBook Pro, Chargeasap claims, adding that “the Connect Pro cable matches the maximum charging speed of the original Apple USB-C cable” and adding that “the Connect Pro is the world’s first magnetic cable to fully support Apple’s 27W fast charging for Lightning devices like the iPhone 14 series and earlier models.”

Chargeasap claims that the company has overcome the limitations of Apple’s chips to allow users to charge their iPhone at maximum speed, reducing the charging time of the iPhone 14 Pro Max from empty to full in just about 1 hour and 30 minutes. This achievement, the company says, marks “a significant milestone that previous magnetic cables have failed to achieve. We are proud to lead the way as the first magnetic cable to support both Apple iPhone 14 and 15 max charging speeds.”

The Connect Pro enables bi-directional USB 2.0 full-speed data transfer, clocked at 480 Mbps, between any USB devices. Like all Chargeasap magnetic cables, the Connect Pro is covered by a 15-year warranty, so users can be fully confident that it will stand the test of time.
