Traveling with [multiple gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/journey-nova) can be a problem with so many connectors taking up space, so Innergie has made things easier with the Magic Cable Trio.

While most gadgets utilize USBs, the other tip of the wire isn't exactly universal across various tech products. As a solution, Innergie created the Magic Cable Trio, which is a wire that has three of the most common connectors integrated into it. This saves the trouble of bringing [several cables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flexible-charge-adapter) and it's compatible with most devices; there's the 40 pin connector for [Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zeusx-go-ultra) products, the micro USB fit for smartphone and the mini USB for digital cameras. When not in use, the tips can be tucked in so that they don't get in the way or look disorganized.
