If you’re anything like me (or for that matter, most of the Ausdroid crew), then you probably carry a bunch of charging cables around with you so you can be ready for any situation! My charging bag currently holds a USB battery, a Micro USB cable, a USB C cable and a Lightning cable (hey, I know iPhone owners – and they’re always running out of battery).

Belkin feels my pain, and today introduced a new Universal Cable that can ease your pain of carrying multiple cables.

In essence, it’s a 4-foot USB A to Micro USB cable, with USB C and Lightning adapters attached so you can plug the cable into pretty much any phone, tablet or device you’re likely to come across. The USB A plug is especially common on USB battery packs, making this a great companion for your charger.

Belkin gives you a two year limited warranty on the cable, and it’s certified by some company called Apple in their “Made for iPhone” programs, but we’re not sure what that means.

The Universal Cable is available now from JB Hifi and direct from Belkin for $39.95.

Before discovering the Nexus One, Jason thought he didn't need a smartphone. Now he can't bear to be without his Android phone. Jason hails from Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane depending on his mood and how detailed a history you'd like. A web developer by day with an interest in consumer gadgets and electronics, he also enjoys reading comics and has a worryingly large collection of Transformers figures. He'd like to think he's a gamer, but his Wii has been in a box since he moved to Sydney, and his PlayStation Vita collection is quite lacking. Most mornings you'll find him tilting at various windmills on Twitter - follow @JM77 and say hi!
