RIIEYOCA USB-C Multi Charging Cable 30cm (2 Pack) – 3x USB-C Charging Ports, 5V/3A
Product description
Introduction
A compact 3-in-1 USB-C charging solution designed to turn a single USB-C port into three independent charging outputs. Suitable for light to moderate charging needs and data transfer, it can simplify how you power multiple devices on the go.
What it is and what it does
This cable acts as a male-to-3-male splitter, delivering up to 5V/3A (15W) across three devices simultaneously. It supports USB 2.0 data transfer at up to 480Mbps, so you can charge and transfer data for phones, tablets, cameras and power banks without unplugging and re-plugging. Note that it isn’t intended for high-power devices like laptops or PD tablets, so treat it as a practical desk or travel companion for everyday devices.
Design and build
The 30 cm length keeps desks tidy and bags lighter. Its integrated male-to-male design reduces intermediate connections, which can help minimise power loss. The thick 4.0 mm copper core supports efficient charging, and the PVC sheath is designed to resist wear and tear.
Safety and reliability
A built-in smart safety chip helps protect against overcharging and overheating, making charging a bit more reassuring when you’re juggling several devices. Data transfer remains straightforward at USB 2.0 speeds, which is adequate for syncing small files or quick backups.
Who this is for
If you frequently juggle multiple USB-C devices—phones, power banks, Bluetooth speakers, etc.—this cable can streamline charging without a tangle of separate cables. It’s particularly convenient for brief trips, a compact workspace, or travel where USB-C ports are limited.
Pros and what to watch out for
- Pros: simple plug-and-play setup, ships as a 2-pack, keeps devices charged simultaneously, compact design, built-in safety features.
- Cons/limitations: not suitable for high-power devices like laptops or PD tablets, data transfer is limited to USB 2.0 speeds, which isn’t ideal for large file transfers.
Who should consider alternatives
If you rely on charging laptops or need high-speed data transfer for large files, a higher-powered solution or dedicated hubs may be more appropriate. For heavy gaming tablets or professional gear, this cable might feel underpowered.
How to decide today
Consider this if you want a portable, no-fuss charging setup for multiple smaller USB-C devices on the move. If your priority is speed or power for larger devices, you might want to look at higher-output options or separate charging/data cables.
What to check before buying
- Confirm your main USB-C port or charger can supply enough current for three devices at once.
- Remember this is a 3x USB-C charging splitter with USB 2.0 data, so expect modest data speeds.
- Check the length (30 cm) to ensure it fits your setup without adding clutter.
Practical use example
Imagine you’re commuting with a phone, a power bank and a compact camera. Plugged into a single USB-C port, you can top up all three devices at once while keeping your bag light, and you can still transfer small files from the camera if needed.
FAQ
- Can I charge a laptop with this cable? No, it’s not designed for high-power devices such as laptops.
- Does it support fast charging? It supports up to 5V/3A per the design, which provides steady charging for lighter devices.
- Is data transfer reliable when charging multiple devices? Yes, but expect USB 2.0 speeds (up to 480Mbps).
Is it worth it?
It makes sense if you prioritise portability and the ability to charge multiple small USB-C devices from a single port. If your needs include high-power devices or faster data transfer, you may be better off with alternatives that target those use cases.
