Twelve South has introduced a new travel charger called the “Cablesnap 65W” that aims to streamline charging on the go. The standout feature is a built-in retractable USB-C cable, joined by a spare USB-C port and a USB-A port for hooking up additional devices.
Design & Ports
The retractable cable extends up to 29 inches (75 cm) and is spring-loaded, allowing you to pull out just the length you need, and then recoil it neatly into the charger body when you’re done. Alongside that integrated cable are two more ports: a second USB-C port for modern accessories, as well as a USB-A port for older gear. Together, the charger delivers up to 65 W of power, shared among all connected devices.
Travel-Friendly Features
This charger includes a folding US plug and interchangeable adapters for the UK (Type G) and EU (Type C), making it usable in most major regions. That, along with its multiple port options, makes it suitable for powering a MacBook Air, an iPad, or fast-charging an iPhone without needing multiple chargers or cables.
The USB-A port delivers up to 18 W, ideal for phones and smaller accessories, while the shared 65 W output ensures enough juice for larger devices. Three finishes—Dune, Slate, and Coastal—offer aesthetic variety.
Availability & Price
The Cablesnap 65W is available now for purchase on Amazon, priced at $49.99. It’s the latest addition to Twelve South’s growing lineup of travel and connectivity accessories. Recent releases from the brand include the AirFly Drive, a wired CarPlay-to-wireless adapter, and the AirFly View, a wireless audio dongle designed for use in flight.
This new charger is handy for minimalist travelers who want fewer cords, one reliable brick, and broad compatibility without sacrificing portability or design. For anyone who’s juggled charging a laptop, tablet, and phone while commuting or jet-setting, it clears up a lot of the mess.
Why this matters: Built-in retractable cables are still rare in high-power chargers, especially when paired with 65 W output and international plug flexibility. As laptops get more power-hungry and mobile gear multiplies, chargers that consolidate ports and cater to global travel without bulk become more desirable. The Cablesnap 65W hits that sweet spot. What to watch: how it handles heat under load, and whether the shared power delivery truly supports charging heavier devices simultaneously without throttling or overheating.
