When you need to juice up your iPhone and Apple Watch, a single cable isn’t going to do you much good… unless it’s the latest innovation from Nomad. The new Universal Cable for Apple Watch charges the wearable while also sending current to another USB-C device, like a MacBook or iPad.
It’s not quite like anything else on the market.
Nomad Universal Cable for Apple Watch: 2-in-1 innovation
Anyone trying to cut the clutter in their lives — or maybe just on their desks — can see the advantage of one product that does the job of two. While no one wants a combo tire iron and toothbrush, sometimes the combination is brilliant, like the toaster oven.
Maybe the Nomad Universal Cable for Apple Watch isn’t brilliant, but it’s pretty darn clever. It’s essentially a USB-C charging cable with an Apple Watch charging puck built in.
Plug one end of the cable into a wall charger, and the other into your MacBook, iPhone or iPad. Then place your Apple Watch on the mat, and both devices get power. The same goes for AirPods with a wireless charging case that supports Watch chargers.
This is one of those ideas that in retrospect someone should have thought of earlier, but Nomad beat everyone else to the punch.
Nomad Universal Cable for Apple Watch handles up to 100W of power so it’s ready for even demanding MacBooks. And it fast charges the wearable, too. It supports USB 2.0 data transfers, so the maximum rate can hit 60 MB/s.
The cable itself measures 5 feet (1.5 meters), so it’s long enough to reach behind a desk. The nylon weave is reinforced with Kevlar. You can use the cable as a travel accessory, or keep it in an office to cut daily clutter.
