It can carry up to 100W of power, the connectors are robust and have very good strain relief, and it's nylon braided so it resists snagging. It also comes in a variety of colors, from the traditional black, stylish blue, and, my favorite, bright blaze orange. Just the color I need to make sure it doesn't get lost in the bottom of my backpack."
"But what makes this cable different are the magnets built into its length at regular intervals. These magnets seek out each other and, as if by magic, curl the cable up automatically. You can easily make small coils. You can make big curls, or small curls. Also: The best GaN chargers you can buy And it works very well. One concern I had was whether keeping the cable curled up"
I’m planning a 10-day, 100-mile pilgrimage across northern Spain in late November and early December. Carrying everything requires small, neat gear and reliable protection against frequent rain. Power and charging cables must be tidy and compact, so a retractable cable was rejected for weight and misplacement concerns in favor of a magnet-wrapping USB-C cable. The cable carries up to 100W, has robust connectors with strong strain relief, and a nylon braid to resist snagging. It comes in several colors, including bright blaze orange for visibility, and is rated for 10,000 bends and plug-ins. Magnets embedded at intervals curl the cable into coils automatically, reducing tangling.
