USB C Accessories to keep you going

USB C is one of the latest additions to be found on our smartphones and computers. USB C is the next step in USB, and while USB 3.0 never really caught on, USB 3 takes the whole USB standard to a whole new level. Not only is the connector reversible like the lightning connector on the iPhones, it also allows up to 100W of power transfer, and up to 10 Gbps data transfer rate. The potential is huge, and eventually we will probably see almost everything on our phones and computers connected via USB C, be it a charger, a monitor, or of course your basic peripherals such as mice or keyboards.

In our gadget collection we take a look at some of the useful USB C related gadgets on offer in the market.

USB C Cables are trickier than you imagine. They may be easy to buy via various online retailers, but thanks to news reports of many laptops having problems such as burn outs, you have to be rather careful.  For this reason, it is always best to get something that not only comes certified for safety, but also offers more. The Quickdraw offers a magnetic end, meaning that this cable can not only stick to its other end, but can also be attached to anything ferrous. Be it the side of your drawer, your power socket, or even your fridge, this cable will always be exactly where you left it. This isn’t the only feature though, as it is designed as a woven cable to give you extra strength as well as prevent tangles.

The Quickdraw Magnetic USB C Charge and Sync Cable retails for £19.99 and can be bought from MobileFun.
