Adi’s universal solution to various charging plugs

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Adi, who writes:

Hi Thomas,

In one of the comments to your CC Skywave SSB 2 report I read, “Micro-USB is the worst connector ever” so I thought I might send you this solution, a magnetic cable

I’m using this on all my phones, tablets and radios.

One fits all and it works great.

Best regards, Adi

What a great tip. I suppose another benefit is the mag lock will break easily if someone trips on the charging cord. Might save a radio, tablet, or phone from a fall! 

Spread the radio love

    Thanks for sharing. There may be Amazon or eBay alternatives if one does not want to order from Aliexpress. I need something like this for my cell phone.

    If this works as intended for a whopping investment of 68 cents, this should get some industry award The idea per se is really awesome and Thomas is right, this could save both the charger and whatever it’s charging from mishaps! Thanks for the tip!

    Is there a version of this magnetic charging plug that supports quick charging? (more formally known as Qualcomm Quick Charge 5 or its predecessors.)
