Messy desk? Here are the best under desk cable management accessoriesBring a robust cable to the mix with these braided USB‑C cables
1. RAVPower PD USB-C Adapter
Total power: 40W | Number of ports: 2 As noted earlier, this RavPower charger delivers 20W per port when both the ports are engaged. The Power Delivery support ensures that the charging is fast and quick. In fact, an iPhone can go from 0% to 100% in around 50 minutes. It has a few extra perks, such as foldable pins and status indicator lights. So far, it has received a decent amount of reviews, with people loving it for its performance and small volume.
2. Nekteck USB-C Wall Charger
Total power: 63W | Number of ports: 2 For those unaware, an IF certification means the charger and the cable meet the required safety requirements. The 45W power rating in the second port means it’s efficient enough to charge laptops such as the Apple MacBook Air, 13.3-inch MacBook Pro, and Goggle Chromebooks, among others. While at the same time, the 18W port is good enough for iPhones. And unless you are using one of the new-age Android phones with proprietary charging tech, you should be good to go. The higher wattage doesn’t mean that the Nekteck charger is bigger. It’s a travel-friendly wall charger and has a small footprint. However, if you have a Samsung phone, you might want to skip the Nektech USB-C charger, for it doesn’t support the proprietary 45W fast charging of Samsung phones.
3. Anker PowerPort III Duo
Total power: 40W | Number of ports: 2 The good thing is that it’s compatible with Qualcomm Quick Charge and USB-C Power Delivery and delivers around 20W of energy (5V/2.4A, 9V/2.22A, 12V/1.5A) per port. It works as advertised, and several users have backed this claim. Along with the charging speed, users love it for its compact shape and its ability to fuel both tablets and smartphones simultaneously.
4. Anker PowerPort Atom PD 2
Total power: 60W | Number of ports: 2 Being a GaN charger, the PowerPort Atom PD2 is both compact and lightweight. In fact, the multi-port USB-C charger is 15% smaller than the stock MacBook Pro charger, making it travel-friendly. Plus, it will easily fit inside most cable boxes. At the same time, the power segregation is decent. You will get up to 60W when a single port is plugged in, making it efficient to charge the smaller Macbook Pro and the MacBook Air with ease. On the other hand, you will get close to 30W on each port when both the ports are engaged. The charging is fast, and as per Anker’s claim, it can fuel a 12-inch MacBook in just 2 hours. The added advantages mean that the PowerPort Atom PD 2 is costlier than its counterparts. But if you want faster charging for both your laptop and phone, this one makes for a great pick. And the small footprint and the durability are the cherries on top.
5. RAVPower PD Pioneer
Total power: 90W | Number of ports: 2 Speaking of the power segregation, the PD Pioneer delivers a maximum output of 45W at each port when hooked to two laptops. On the other hand, it yields around 30W and 60W when connected to a phone and a laptop. It’s also based on GaN technology, meaning it’s small and robust. Furthermore, it has a solid build, and the folding pins make it easily portable.
6. UGreen PD Charger
Total power: 65W | Number of ports: 4 A 4-port charger means that the power segregation is somewhat complicated. You will get the full 65W only when one of the first two ports is utilized. If both the first and second port is used, you’ll get a combination of 45W+ 18W (depending on the power rating of the connected device). The third USB-C port is rated at 18W, while the USB-A port delivers a standard 18W of power. The reception of this USB-C charger has been decent so far. Its small footprint and value-for-money proposition make them attractive. Above all, it’s a solid contender for cable management. As long as you have a few cable clips handy, you should have a mess-free desk.
Charging Power
At the end of the day, it’s no fun to go around with a dead phone. Neither is it fun to have multiple chargers for your laptops, tablets, and smartphones. The best solution is to get hold of a charger that can do it all. Not only does it save you space on your power strip, but it also is an environment-friendly solution.
