    Has anyone tried a 3-1 cable for usb-c/lightning/micro USB?

    Rather than carry a raft of cables with me, do the 3-1 cables work? If so, what's the best?

    I don't mind whether it is this sort of thing: Core 3-in-1 Lightning / Micro USB / USB-C 1m Cable - White
    or something like this:
    USB Multi-Charging Cable - Lightning, USB-C, Micro-USB | StarTech.com United Kingdom
    Just don't want it to break after a week of use.

    I didn't look very well but I didn't see the top one saying what version USB it was. The second says USB 2. Do you not want to be looking for a product that is USB 3 and/or mentions fast charging?

      As long as it can handle 2A, it doesn't matter whether it's USB 2 or 3. That part of the specification for USB refers to data transmission. The part of the spec about charging has been at least 3A for the best part of a decade now, the limitation being the charger and the device.

        Fair dinkum. I've bought a load of cables in the past when I didn't check the specs and the charging times have varies considerableu so always check the details now. Looks like you've already done your homework.
