a review by Tom Piper
Cable connections for my electronic devices take me back to my early Apple ][ and Mac days when serial, ADB and FireWire were the standard wires used to connect various peripherals. Today, the latest advances are based on Lightning, microUSB, USB-A, USB-C and Thunderbolt.
At CES 2023, I revisited the Rolling Square exhibit which was demonstrating some of their most innovative products, including inCharge XL cables where their slogan is: “The ultra fast Swiss army knife of cables”. I found that these are the only cables that I need for home, office and travel because they feature 2 Inputs and 3 Outputs, for a total of 6 different connections.
InCharge® XL throughput allows Ultra Fast Charging up to 100W and Apple's Fast Charging up to 27W, supporting both charging and data transfer, which allows me to quickly transfer my data at speeds up to 480Mbit. These cables even allow an android phone and many tablets to become a power source I can use when standard charging ports are not nearby (only available using USB-C phone as input), such as charging my Apple Watch from my 12.9” iPad Pro.
Each cable features metal housing and N52 Magnets for the ends, plus 200 braided copper wires in a TPU and nylon-reinforced cable using aramid fiber in black, yellow or white colors. To fit different needs, 1’, 6.5’ and 10’ lengths are available. For the longer cables, a silicone pouch, magnetic desk support and eco-friendly packaging is included. The result makes for a very strong yet flexible connection to my MacBooks, iPads, hard drives, SSD drives and much more.
To learn more about the Rolling Square cables, go to https://rollingsquare.com where the 1’ version is available for $29.00, the 6.5’ version for $35.00, and the 10’ model for $39.00. In addition to these excellent cables, Rolling Square also produces quality chargers, device mounts, cases and other innovative devices. Kudos to the company PR & Influencer Marketing Manager Laura Ragazzi in Switzerland for introducing me to this terrific collection of innovative and highly-useful products.
