The Chargeasap Connect Pro is a charging and data cable for all your devices. It features swappable magnetic connectors, so you don’t need to carry separate wires for Type-C and Lightning port devices. It also has a built-in power meter and can charge your MacBook, iPad, iPhone, Android phones, and accessories at up to 100W. I’ve found it useful during my travels over the past few months.
Most of my devices have a Type-C port, but I’m still using the AirPods Pro 2 with a Lightning port. I love the sound quality and ANC of my Apple earbuds, but I had to move on from them because I didn’t want to carry a separate wire just for the earbuds. However, Chargeasap’s Connect Pro cable has allowed me to travel with my AirPods Pro 2 again. It’s much better than the bundled Apple wire, too.
The Chargeasap Connect Pro cable is 4.75 feet (57 inches) long, so you can stretch it from behind your desk and simply replace the magnetic tip whenever you need to charge gadgets with different ports. It’s a well-built cable covered in braided nylon. I carried it in my backpack to CES 2025 and then to the Galaxy Unpacked events in January, and it didn’t tangle or feel poorly made.
The Chargeasap Connect Pro comes with three magnetic swappable connectors: USB-C, Lightning, and micro-USB. One end has a fixed USB-C connector, while the other end can be swapped with these connectors. The magnets are strong for the most part, but you need to be careful when carrying the small swappable connectors, as they’re easy to lose.
I love the convenience, but it’s also unreliable at times because I’m clumsy. If you apply sideways pressure, the magnet disconnects, stopping the charge. While the wire might still be slightly connected to the corner of the port, the swappable connector remains inside your device with no charging.
For the same reason, it’s not ideal for charging something inside your backpack while you’re on the move—it’s likely to disconnect. While the charging cable tip has a green LED that glows to indicate power is flowing, allowing you to notice bad connections, it takes some getting used to.
The Connect Pro cable also has a built-in power meter, which displays the current flow in watts. It’s a nice-to-have feature for keeping track of the power being delivered to different devices.
The 100W Chargeasap Connect Pro is priced at $60. It’s one of the most convenient cables you can get if you own multiple gadgets with different ports and varying power requirements. However, you’ll need to be mindful of its usability and be careful not to lose the magnetic swappable connectors.
