Not just a 100W USB-C charging cable, this 8-in-1 travel tool even comes with a bottle opener
The do-it-all charging and on-the-go super solution is actually here
Quick Summary
The GoCable is a USB-C charging cable that packs eight functions into a keyring-sized gadget.
This offers a bottle opener, package cutter and enough charging power to top up a laptop.
The humble charging cable isn't the most exciting bit of tech. But this 8-in-1 version of that takes things in quite a few different directions.
The GoCable 8-in-1 is a 100W USB-C cable at it's most basic, but it's also trying to be the only cable you ever need to carry around. Designed to live on a keyring or clipped to a bag, it packs eight functions into an impressively compact package.
Alongside USB-C charging, it supports up to 100W power delivery, which means it can do far more than just charge your phone. Laptops, smartphones,tablets, smartwatches, cameras and other USB-C devices are all possibilities.
There's also a Lightning adapter for older Apple gear, an LED display that shows charging power in real time and a magnetic wrap that keeps everything neat when it's not in use.
That's already more than most charging cables can manage. But GoCable's creators weren't finished there.
Built into the body of the included carabiner clip is a bottle opener and a hidden package cutter. The result is a miniature multitool that happens to help charge your gadgets.
Whether you actually need all eight functions is another question. Most people probably aren't buying a charging cable because they desperately need a bottle opener in their pocket. But that's also part of the appeal.
This is one of those products that seems designed for travellers, commuters and gadget fans who appreciate clever solutions to problems they didn't know they had.
At a meagre 40g, it shouldn't weigh down your keys, while the compact design means it's always there when you need it. And if you've ever found yourself borrowing a charging cable in an airport lounge or digging through a backpack looking for the right connector, this could be just right for you.
