A charging cable is easy to pack and easier to leave behind. The Twelve South CableSnap 65W makes one part of that kit inseparable from the charger, storing a retractable USB-C lead inside its compact body.

The built-in cable extends up to 29 inches and retracts after use. Alongside it sit a USB-C port and a USB-A port, allowing up to three devices to draw power from a single outlet. That arrangement can cover a compatible laptop, phone, and another small device without requiring three wall adapters.

There is an important limit behind the number on the case: 65W is the total available output, shared between connected devices. It is not 65W for each connection. The USB-A port supports up to 18W, and actual charging speed depends on the devices and how many are attached.

A folding U.S. plug reduces protruding hardware in a bag, while included Type G and Type C adapters accommodate compatible British and European outlets. Extra cables for the two additional ports are not included. CableSnap also requires wall power; it is a charger rather than a battery pack.

The new model is available in Slate, Coastal, and Dune finishes.
