Mcdodo CA-357 3-in-1 Cable - 1.2M and 3.5A Output

Mcdodo CA-357 3-in-1 Retractable Charging Cable combines Lightning, Micro USB, and USB-C connectors in a 1.2M cable. Its USB input supports charging and data transmission through the Lightning connection, while the retractable design adjusts the cable length.

Three Connectors in One Cable

The CA-357 uses USB to Lightning, Micro USB, and USB-C connections. Mcdodo lists aluminum alloy, PC, and TPE as the materials, placing the cable in the category of multi-connector charging accessories.

Output ratings differ by connector. USB-C is specified at 5V/3A, while Micro USB and Lightning are each listed at 5V/2A; Lightning also supports data transmission.

Retractable 1.2M Design

The cable measures 1.2M and uses a mechanical design that allows pulling from either side. Mcdodo also describes a retractable structure intended to reduce tangling during storage.

CA-357 supports charging three devices simultaneously, with a listed total output of 3.5A. The total figure is a combined product rating, not a separate output rating for each connector.

Where It Fits Best

Compared with a single-connector charging cable, CA-357 covers more device ports in one accessory. Its advantage is compatibility across Lightning, Micro USB, and USB-C hardware, while its 5V/3A USB-C rating places it below newer high-wattage USB-C cables designed for laptops.

The cable suits travel kits, shared charging spaces, and older devices that still use Micro USB alongside newer USB-C or Lightning products. The 1.2M length provides more reach than a short cable, and the retractable body reduces loose cable length when stored.

Specifications and Verdict

Mcdodo CA-357 is a practical multi-connector cable for charging several device types from a USB source. It is best matched with users who need port flexibility and a retractable format, rather than users seeking high-power USB-C charging or full data support on every connector.
