Tech Review – chargeasap Connect Pro Magnetic USB-C data cable

In a world of cables there is plenty to pick from and we have tested many our over the years some offer more than others and some less some look better than others and some don’t but is it looks that matter? In some cases that would be a yes but functionality is a key feature for me and good cable that will last unlike others do..

The latest cable now on offer from chargeasap is a pretty cool one offering more than one would expect from a cable, yeah I know reviewing cable and plugs are tedious to a degree because most people just plug it in connect device and that is the end of it there they do not stop and think what else is behind this cable.hmmm..

This cable is magnetic with a built in power reader and interchangeable tips which is handy and what this means in not fussing about plugging in a device although it has got better since USB-C has become more mainstream now however there is still plenty of tech out there with the older ports and will be around for some years to come yet.

chargeasap have thought of this and these also work with the best of charging plugs out there including GaN chargers which we are no stranger to.

There is several things to note with such a cable/product, you can easily swap out the device, so headphones earbuds, tablets laptops and more can be used and the safety feature here is great with the snap /on/off feature, now we all know we have all tripped over a cable at some stage and took the desk with us do not deny it. Now this is a thing of the past.

With a built in LED screen with built in amp reader you can also see that you are connected and with the support of up to 100W to charge an extensive array of devices, including USB-C laptops, phones, tablets, and more. Also take into account this keeps your ports covered and dust free which is another bonus and something for people think about.
