Will this charge an iPhone or iPad?

Yes, it charges any iPhone or iPad with a USB-C port. Recent iPhone models (15 and later) and many iPad models use USB-C and will fast-charge with the 30W output.

Can I use this to charge a laptop?

It works with smaller laptops and tablets that accept 30W charging via USB-C. Larger laptops that require 60W, 100W, or more will charge slowly or not at all.

Does the cable detach from the wall plug?

No, the cable and wall plug are permanently integrated into one piece. You cannot swap out the cable or use the plug separately.

Is the cable durable enough for daily travel?

The flat cable design resists tangling and kinking, which helps it hold up to repeated packing and unpacking. The construction is meant to handle frequent use in bags and tight spaces.

How does 30W compare to a standard phone charger?

30W is significantly faster than the 5W or 12W chargers that used to ship with phones. It can fast-charge most smartphones in under an hour and keeps tablets running at full speed while in use.

All-in-One USB-C Charger Cable with Built-In 30W Power Delivery

Most charging cables make you carry two pieces everywhere: the cord itself and a separate wall adapter that can get left behind, buried in a bag, or mistakenly grabbed by someone else. This single-piece design eliminates that problem by fusing the plug and the cable, so you always have a complete charging solution in one hand.

The flat construction is what makes it practical for travel and daily use—it coils without kinking and doesn't tangle the way round cables do when stuffed into a pocket or backpack. That detail, combined with the flush plug that doesn't jut out from the wall, makes this worth choosing if you charge devices in multiple places and want one cable that stays organized and ready.

Good gift when

People who charge multiple devices in different rooms or while traveling
Anyone tired of mismatched cables and wall adapters piling up in drawers
Travelers who want to minimize charging gear in a carry-on or hotel room
Households that need clean, uncluttered charging at desks or nightstands

Skip it if If you need more than 30 watts—say, for a larger laptop that requires 60W or 100W charging—this integrated cord won't supply enough power. Devices that charge via Lightning, Micro-USB, or other non-USB-C ports require a separate cable or adapter.

The maker

Twelve South designs accessories that simplify how Apple and mobile users interact with their devices. The studio is known for rethinking everyday tech items—stands, cases, and cables—by removing unnecessary parts and improving the details that matter during actual use. PowerCord came from observing how often people lose or mix up charging adapters, then asking whether the adapter needed to be a separate piece at all.

The details

Most charging setups require two separate pieces—a brick that plugs into the wall and a cable that connects to your device. This design merges them into a single cord, letting you charge USB-C phones, tablets, and other devices straight from the outlet without fumbling for matching adapters.

The integrated charger delivers 30 watts through Power Delivery 3.0, enough to fast-charge a smartphone or keep a tablet running at full speed. The flat cable resists tangling, which matters when you're pulling it out of a bag or drawer multiple times a day. A low-profile plug head sits flush against the wall, so it works behind furniture or in crowded power strips where bulky adapters stick out awkwardly.

You can choose between a four-foot length for bedside tables and desk setups or a ten-foot version when you need reach across a room or airport lounge. Both lengths pack down small because there's no separate power brick to account for. The cable works with any device that charges via USB-C, including recent iPhone models, Android phones, iPads, Kindle e-readers, and smaller laptops that accept 30W input.

Two color combinations are available: white cable with a dune-toned plug or slate cable with a black plug. Both use the same flat construction that lies neatly along baseboards or coils into a compact loop for travel. The cord plugs directly into any standard North American wall outlet and terminates in a standard USB-C connector.
