Krafted Connex

£29.99

In a world of multiple cables and a variety of device ports, my desk is overrun with cables, all needed to charge a variety of devices. Currently, my phone, headphones, Kindle and even my smart watch require completely different chargers, so I have at least 4 cables needed to keep my devices charged. While many devices are now migrating to a more universal USB-C option, many of us are still managing multiple different cable requirements. This is where the Krafted Connex comes in, which offers an all-in-one cable adapter hub that offers reliable charging and data transfer supported by 8 versatile charging combinations.

The Krafted Connex is a compact bar unit, and within it are 5 fold-out cable options. On one side, the Krafted Connex offers a USB-A and USB-C input, as well as a Lightning cable output. On the other end, a USB-C, Micro USB, and Lightning output can be found. These collectively offer 8 versatile charging and data transfer options, allowing you to connect the Krafted Connex to your laptop or charging plug, and then plug in your device on the other end. With one device connected, the unit can achieve PD charging, offering super-fast charging speeds similar to those of a standard fast charger. However, the device cable only handles one PD-charged device at a time. The PD connection of the Krafted Connex also allows you to transfer data, which is perfect for uploading files from your device more easily, without needing a specific additional wire. This once again adds another layer of versatility to the Krafted Connex, making it not just a great charging option, but a reliable data transfer connection too.

Each of the cables is supported by a silicone casing that provides durability, whilst being flexible for easy charging and data transfer. Plus, the fold-out design ensures that no cables get tangled whilst the Krafted Connex is in use. However, the one sacrifice made for this foldout design is that the distance between your charging port or plug and your device is quite short, which could make charging using a plug a little more inconvenient if there’s nowhere convenient to place your device next to the plug whilst it charges.

Overall, the Krafted Connex is a versatile and innovative bit of kit that will help cut down on cable clutter and help keep your devices charged up with ease. Thanks to the Krafted Connex’s compact form, it’s the perfect solution for putting in your bag to keep your device charged all day long, without a tangle of wires to contend with!

Pros:

• Versatile charging unit with 4 different cable types included
• Supports PD charging for speedy recharging on the go
• Compact unit ideal for travelling, and supported by silicone wires for durability

Cons:

• The length of the Krafted Connex means the distance between your input and output device isn’t very long, especially when compared to traditional cables, which could make charging a little less convenient
