Nomad has launched a versatile new cable designed to simplify charging for Apple Watch users and those with USB-C devices. The Universal Cable, priced at $100, integrates an Apple Watch fast charging puck with dual USB-C connectors, making it an all-in-one solution for multiple devices.
Measuring 1.5 meters in length, the cable is equipped to charge both an Apple Watch and another device simultaneously, such as an iPhone, iPad, or even a MacBook. With a 100W USB-C PD rating, the cable supplies 8W to the Apple Watch while directing the remaining 92W to the other connected device. This is more than enough power to charge demanding devices like the 16-inch MacBook Pro, provided an appropriate power adapter is used.
The cable offers flexible usage options—either plug the Apple Watch end into a power adapter or use it for device charging. It also boasts compatibility with Apple’s latest AirPods, which can charge via the Apple Watch charger. However, it’s important to note that data transfer speeds are limited to USB 2.0, as the cable is optimized for charging rather than data syncing.
Constructed with a double-braided Kevlar outer weave and electroplated metal connectors, the cable is built for durability. It also includes an integrated silicone tie to keep things neat and tidy, making it ideal for travel.
