- Twelve Syd’s PowerCord is so simple, with a wall jack at one end and a USB-c on the other
- It’s a one-stop solution to charge small to medium-sized devices
- With the cord you can effectively ditch power bricks as it is integrated
When it comes to charging our devices right now, you generally need a wall jack that goes into a plug and a cable. For Phone-IPhone or Android, for example, at least a 20-watt wall jack and then a USB-C to USB-C cable. It doesn’t have to be like that, especially for those who travel.
Twelve South, known for excellent accessories, especially complementing Apple devices, just dropped ‘PowerCord’. Yes, it’s a product name, not something that comes with the product in the box. It is a USB-C port cable that does not end with a copy of this gate, but rather a power adapter.
Thus, it eliminates the need for a wallstone and if you charge a Pixel 9, an iPhone 16 -Pro, a Nintendo -Switch, an iPad or Galaxy tab or even a MacBook Air, you just connect it to get the charge started.
It’s pretty brilliant, right? The 30-watt power supply is integrated into the wall jack and it comes in two length-4-foot or 10 feet. The cable itself is braided and looks pretty strong from shared images and comes in a slate black or dune white.
The wall jack is also non-denial. In fact, the whole design is a closed circle intentionally. That way you can’t leave part of the equation at home or behind, so when you need to recharge something, that’s all when you need it.
Currently it is priced at $ 39.99 for the 4-foot model and $ 49.99 for the 10-foot model in both colors. However, it can only be purchased with a type-A-wall jack. This means it works best in North America, specifically in the US or Canada. It is on order now at Amazon or from the brand directly here.
Twelversouth has said that an EU and UK version is on the horizon and is likely to fall in the middle of the end of June. This is excellent news as this for frequent travelers is a really nice charger and I like that you can’t leave any part of it at home.
If it turns out to be a success, the Twelve South may find out how to put a larger power supply so that it can also handle the recharge of multiple power-hungry devices.
Still, as it stands, PowerCord can charge phones, tablets, a DJI Osmo Pocket 3, earplugs and headphones, Bluetooth speakers, smart glasses, headsets and countless other devices. The product page notes that it is best for small for medium-sized devices, but can fool charging of other products such as laptops.
If you are sold and are in North America or plan a trip, PowerCord is ready for order and shipping now directly from twelve south here and on Amazon here.
