Description

This recable is silvery-brown, with one green and one black plug end. The natural fibre basalt is recyclable and gives the Kakapo its distinctive shine. The braided hose for the sustainable charging cable is made in Germany.

This USB cable is colorful - recable is the colorful charging cable. At the same time, recable is also assembled fairly in Germany in a small workshop in Merseburg. So the charging cable is not only fun for you and brings color into your life, but also for the people who build it.

recable is sustainable, it already uses some recycled materials. But best of all, if the charging cable is broken, you can solder the cable & repair the USB plug! recable was awarded the Bestform Award 2021 and the Green Product Award 2022 in the category "Consumer Goods" for this achievement. These cables are the perfect eco-accessory for your smartphone.

Charging power depending on the length of the USB C-Micro USB cable

Charging power

The longer a USB cable is, the more it acts like a resistor for the current. With long USB cables, you can't transfer as much power and it takes longer to charge your smartphone.

It is best to choose a charging cable that is no longer than you need. than you need.

Compatible with

Power supply units and laptops/PCs with USB C connection
