| I travel a lot and "having everything USB C" didn't help. I had: - a USB C cord that only supports power but up to 100W - a USB C cord that supports power up to 60W and data at USB2 speeds. But didn't work with my USB C powered portable display. Because it didn't support video. - a USB C cord that only supported power up to 60W and data and video. I'm usually traveling with: - My MacBook Pro 16 inch (USB C) - Mouse/Keyboard (lightning) - iPad Air 3rd Gen (lightning) - iPhone 12 (lightning) - AirPods Pro (lightning) - Beats Flex (they hang around my neck and I don't have to worry about them falling out on the plane if I dose off) USB C - a four in one wireless charger that I sit by my bed at the hotel. (USB C). - a Anker battery pack (USB-C) - portable monitor (USB C) - Watch - weird Apple proprietary wireless charging. But now I only travel with these cords for most of my devices: Female USB A/USB C on one end and USB C/lightning on the other end. They support data up to 480Mbps and power up to 60W. They are $13.00. They are cheap and not too thick. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B092ZT8CJ9 But for a truly "universal cable", I have three of these: - Female USB A/USB C on one end - lightning, USB C, and Micro USB on the other end - 10GBps data transfer - supports video over USB C - Supports charging up to 100W. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B093YVRHMB They are like $35 and are much thicker and a little unwieldy and I don't need them just for charging anything but my computer and connecting my secondary display. BTW, this is my portable USB Monitor https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B095GG31KX/ I can't use my iPad as a second monitor using the native ability in MacOs because of corporate software. I found out later that I could use Duet. |
