Pack Light, Connect Smarter with Connex
If you’ve ever opened your backpack at a coffee shop or airport gate only to pull out a bird’s nest of tangled wires, you know how frustrating modern tech can be. Most of us travel with a phone, maybe a tablet, wireless headphones, and perhaps an e-reader or a camera. There is one problem, it also means carrying a separate charging cable for every single device.
These cables clutter up your bag, take up too much physical space, tangle into knots and inevitably fray at the ends because they are shoved into tight corners. The goal of a mobile workspace shouldn't be carrying more gear-it should be making your current gear work together with less friction.
Simplifying Your Tech Footprint
The easiest way to declutter is to find one tool that does it all. That is where a smart cable adapter hub comes in, and the Krafted Connex is a practical solution to this daily headache. Designed in the UK, this compact pocket-sized device is built to replace that heavy pouch of cables you normally drag around.
At just 95mm wide and weighing only 87.5 grams, the Connex is roughly the size of a packet of large chewing gum. It is small enough to slip into a pocket or clip onto a keyring, making it easy to carry wherever you go.
Understanding How It Actually Works
It is worth clearing up one common detail right away: the Connex does not charge your devices on its own. It is not a power bank, so it does not contain an internal battery.
Instead, think of it as a highly adaptable bridge, hub or adapter. It features two inputs (USB-A and USB-C) and four outputs (USB-C, Micro-USB, and two Lightning connectors).
When you need to charge, you simply connect the Connex to your existing power source-whether that is a wall adapter, USB plug, your laptop’s port, or a portable battery pack-and plug the other end into your phone, tablet or device. Because it supports both USB-C and classic Lightning connections, it works across both Apple and Android setups. It also supports Power Delivery (PD) for faster charging on compatible devices, ensuring you aren't waiting around for your battery to tick up.
Designed for Work and Travelling
For hybrid and remote workers, hot-desking is a normal part of the week. You might start your morning at a kitchen table, move to a shared workspace by lunch, and finish your afternoon in a cafe. Carrying three or four separate cables is just annoying. The Connex keeps things incredibly tidy and organised. You can leave those separate charging cords in a drawer at home and rely on this single tool instead.
Connex isn’t just about charging. The Connex also handles data transfer on its Power Delivery (PD) connections. If you are a photographer transferring photos from a camera to a laptop, or an office worker moving documents from an Android phone to a MacBook, you do not need to pack another specialty cord. It acts as an active workspace tool, not just a passive charging lead.
Built to Last - Not to be Replaced
We have all bought those cheap, generic multi-cables online. They usually last a few weeks before the connection becomes loose or the plastic casing cracks. That is not just a waste of money; it is a massive waste of resources.
Krafted takes a different approach by focusing on durability. The Connex is built with a tough ABS plastic shell and flexible silicone rubber connector arms. Underneath those joints, they’ve added nickel-plated steel reinforcing plates. It is designed to take a beating, bend without breaking, and survive being tossed into a backpack day after day. By choosing accessories that are built to last, you stop the cycle of buying and throwing away cheap electronics.
From the Office to Family Days Out
While it is a brilliant addition to a work laptop bag, the Connex is just as useful for everyday life outside of work.
A family day out is a perfect example. If you are heading out for a long drive or a weekend away with the kids, keeping their devices alive is usually the main focus. A flat tablet or a dead handheld console can quickly make a long road trip even longer.
Instead of packing a separate charging cord for every gadget, you can just pack the Connex. Whether you are plugging into the car’s USB port or a portable power bank at a theme park, you have the exact connection you need ready to go. It keeps the car tidy, saves space in your day bag, by simply clipping to a key ring or zip, and means no more rummaging around for the right wire, among a messy bag of water bottles, kids snacks and more.
Making the Shift to Minimalist Tech
Simplifying your everyday carry does not mean giving up your favourite gadgets. It just means being smarter about how you keep them connected. Whether you choose the clean look of the Charcoal Grey or the earthy tone of the Jade, the Connex is an easy way to reclaim your bag space and make your work and travel days much lighter.
