It looks like a [thick charging cord](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nomad-chargekey-v2) but at a closer glance, it actually has [four power banks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multifunctional-power-bank) integrated into the design. All of this is connected to provide users with an impressive 2800mAh of storage along with a [magnetic design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-magcable) that allows the entire cable to simply connect together to a rectangular structure. This makes it tangle-free and easy to bring on the go by connecting it to an outlet. It is a passing cable or it functions as a power bank. On one end is a Type-A port and a Type-C on the other end with TPU connectors between.
