Twelve South has released the Cablesnap 65W, a compact power adapter designed for travel that features an integrated retractable USB-C cable. Available in Dune, Slate, and Coastal color choices, the accessory is on sale through Amazon and the company's official website for $49.99. [1][2]

The spring-loaded cable measures 29 inches (75cm) long and retracts back into the body when tugged. Alongside the built-in wire, the unit houses a standalone USB-C port and an 18W USB-A port, allowing it to charge up to three devices at once. Power output reaches up to 65W shared across connected hardware, which 9to5Mac notes can power a MacBook Air alongside an iPad or fast-charge an iPhone. [1][2]

Geared toward international travelers, the device includes a folding US plug as well as bundled EU Type-C and UK Type-G outlet adapters. Twelve South has not specified detailed multi-port power allocation curves or specific charging protocol standards, but the company says the adapter is compatible with phones, laptops, and everyday accessories.
