Belkin BoostCharge Universal Cable — 1 m, Three Connectors
Three connectors in one cableUSB-C, Lightning and micro-USBUp to 15 W chargingCable-management hook
The Belkin BoostCharge Universal Cable (part number CAC001BT1MBK) is one cable for three kinds of device. The cable itself is USB-A to micro-USB, 1 m long, and two adaptor tips slide onto the micro-USB end: micro-USB to USB-C and micro-USB to Lightning. That covers an iPhone, an Android phone and an older device such as a power bank, a headset or a games controller from a single cable in a bag. It charges at up to 15 W and it also syncs data, so it is not a charge-only lead. Jacket, strain reliefs and enclosures are PVC, and there is a cable-management hook so it coils rather than tangling in a bag.
Compatibility — check before buying:
The USB-A end plugs into any standard USB port — a laptop, a desktop, a power bank, a car socket or a wall charger. At the device end you choose: micro-USB directly, USB-C with one adaptor, or Lightning with the other. Belkin has tested it with iPhone 8 through 11 Pro Max, iPhone X, XR, XS and XS Max, Samsung Galaxy Note10 and Note10+, LG G6, G7 ThinQ, V30 and V30 Plus, and Google Pixel 3 and 4. It is a 15 W USB-A cable, so it will not do USB-C Power Delivery fast charging — it is designed as the one cable that fits everything, not as the fastest cable for any single device.
Best For
✓ Travellers who would rather carry one cable than three
✓ Households with a mix of iPhone, Android and older devices
✓ Anyone charging a phone, earbuds and a power bank with different ports
✓ Office drawers and car gloveboxes where the cable has to fit whatever turns up
✓ People who keep a spare cable for guests
✓ Anyone tired of finding the wrong cable in the bag
Key Features
Three connectors, one cable
USB-C, Lightning and micro-USB from a single lead. That is the whole proposition: the cable in your bag fits whatever needs charging, including someone else’s phone.
Adaptor tips, not a split head
The adaptors slide onto the micro-USB end rather than dangling as extra heads, so the cable stays tidy and there is nothing flapping about while it charges.
Charges and syncs at up to 15 W
Enough for phones, tablets, earbuds, power banks and controllers, and it carries data as well as power so it doubles as a sync cable.
Cable-management hook
A built-in hook keeps the cable coiled instead of knotting at the bottom of a bag — a small thing that decides whether a spare cable stays usable.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does it work with three connectors?
The cable is USB-A to micro-USB. Two adaptor tips slide onto the micro-USB end — one converts it to USB-C, the other to Lightning — so one cable covers all three.
Will it fast-charge my phone?
No. It is a 15 W USB-A cable, not a USB-C Power Delivery one. It is built to fit everything rather than to charge one device as fast as possible.
Can I sync data with it?
Yes, on all three connector types. It carries data as well as power.
Are the adaptors easy to lose?
They are small, which is the trade-off for the flexibility. The cable-management hook helps keep the whole thing together in a bag.
Singular Expert Insight
The universal cable is the one you keep in a bag, a glovebox or a desk drawer — not the one you charge with at home. Its value is that it fits whatever turns up, including a colleague’s phone with the wrong port, and that is worth more in those situations than another twenty watts. Be realistic about what it is: 15 W over USB-A, so it will not fast-charge a modern phone the way a USB-C Power Delivery cable and charger will. Keep this as the emergency cable and a proper
USB-C cable as the everyday one. See our

Buyer's Guide
Buy it if
You want one cable that fits an iPhone, an Android phone and an older micro-USB device, for a bag, a car or a drawer.
Skip it if
You want the fastest possible charge for one specific phone — a USB-C Power Delivery cable and charger is the right pairing.
Also consider
A USB-C to USB-C cable and charger for everyday fast charging at home, and a small pouch so the adaptor tips stay with the cable.
