Product Overview

AI-generated summary

This is one of those “convenience cables” that can be genuinely useful in a busy office—especially if you support a mixed fleet of devices (iPhones plus Androids, plus the occasional older micro‑USB). The fact it’s MFi certified is the big deal with iPhone charging; a lot of bargain multi-cables either charge unreliably or get flaky over time. At £21.32 ex‑VAT for a braided, branded 1m lead, it’s priced more like an IT spares/desk accessory than a cheap throwaway, which I personally prefer for day-to-day use.

That said, don’t expect it to be the “only cable you ever need.” Multi-connect cables are slightly more complex, and the more connectors and switching involved, the higher the chance of wear points—especially if it’s frequently coiled/tugged. If you’re issuing assets across staff, I’d still consider stocking single cables for each device type for consistency; if you just need a reliable grab‑and‑go cable for meeting rooms, helpdesk desks, or hot‑desk scenarios, this is a fair buy. It’s best for buyers who prioritise reliability (MFi) and durability (braided) over the lowest possible cost.
