Connex

In today’s tech-savvy world, we all use a multitude of devices to keep us connected, entertained, and productive. We all have a smartphone, but then there are the tablets and laptops, digital cameras, wearable devices such as watches and fitness trackers, and wireless earbud/headphones. Each gadget comes with its own unique charging requirements and can be extremely frustrating all using different charging cables. You will find some devices using USB-C, others may use micro USB and then there are lightning connectors. While a lot of new devices are switching to USB-C, while good going forward, doesn’t help with our older tech. This often leads to a tangled mess of cables and adapters, creating frustration and clutter, and never having the correct cable when you need it. Welcome to the Krafted Connex data transfer and multi-charger connector, a sleek and innovative solution designed to simplify your charging woes.

With all the devices that we juggle with daily, having a reliable and versatile charging solution is essential. The Krafted Connex data transfer and multi-charger connector is a compact and innovative tool that has been designed to simplify your charging and data transfer needs. To me, it reminds me of a Swiss Army Knife in the way it looks, but instead of having a variety of tools that pull out from the body of the device it has a series of different charging connections.

The Krafted Connex is an easy to carry compact device that features USB-A and USB-C input with USB-C, Micro-USB and Lightning outputs. It measures 95x31x19mm and weighs approximately 87.5g. It is available in charcoal grey or jade colours. The outer casing is made of durable plastic while the various connectors are encased in flexible silicone.

With the Connex there is no need to carry around various charging cables. Using this gadget you can plug it into a laptop or USB charger (using USB-A or USB-C) and charge you Android phone, iPhone, tablets and more. With its universal compatibility is supports a wide range of devices, including PD fast charging (only 1 device at a time). All connectors are also capable of data transfer as well as charging, meaning you can transfer data between various devices.

Using it is as simple as using any of your old charger cables, just pull out the connectors you require, for example USB-A to USB-C for charging your phone from a laptop, and plug the ends into their respective devices. Charging is fast and the data transfer rate is impressive.

Overall, this handy little gadget is good for people requiring different types of connections for transferring data to and from phones, tablets and laptops as well as charging devices. It is compact and lightweight, while being simple to use and even has a keyring connector. It excels in both charging and data transfer.

Equipped with advanced PD charging technology, it delivers rapid and efficient power to your devices (although you can only use it to fast charge one device at a time). The data transfer speeds are impressive, making it a reliable tool for copying and moving files between devices.

It has some excellent features being compact and portable, making it perfect for travel, supports a wide range of devices and connectors, has rapid charging and fast data transfers and a sturdy construction with flexible connectors.

However, I did find one issue that might not be such a problem for other users. I have rugged cases on my phone and tablet which meant that I could not plug in the Connex as the connector housing was too wide. Without the cases the Connex is brilliant and maybe with different cases it will be ok, but for me it was a problem.

With micro USB and Lightning connectors becoming less common, these connectors will become outdated for newer equipment but we all have lots of older equipment so the Connex could be invaluable for lots of people for a long time to come yet.

The Krafted Connex multi-charger connector is a versatile and handy tool. While it isn’t perfect for my phone and tablet with their rugged cases, it is still a very handy gadget to have in my bag. I can always remove my phone or tablet case in a emergency and it is great for using with my laptop, charging my wireless earbuds and camera (especially on the go when using a power bank).  

While it may have a few minor drawbacks for some users with different kinds of cases on their devices, the overall convenience and functionality it offers are hard to beat. If you’re tired of dealing with multiple cables and chargers, the Connex is definitely worth considering.

Rating: 4/5 (purely because it didn’t work with the rugged cases that I use, a less wide connector housing and it would have been perfect for me).

RRP: £29.99
