Belkin Launches Car Charger, Cables, Power Bank at CES 2019

At CES 2019, Belkin has launched a slew of products, including Lightning connector-equipped headphones called Rockstar, new Boost Charge charging cables, Boost Charge USB-C Car Charger + Cable, USB-C Home Charger + Cable, and the Boost Charge Power Bank USB-C + Cable. All of these are being demoed at its CES booth, and the charging cables lineup also includes a USB Type-C to Lightning cable, with Belkin claimed to be first third-party company to offer them.

Belkin Boost Charge Charging Cables

Starting with the charging cables, Belkin has introduced the new USB Type-A to Lightning, USB Type-A to USB Type-C, and USB-C to Lightning cables at CES, expanding its BoostCharge line-up. These cables come in 4ft, 6ft and 10ft in length and have been made available in Black or White colour options. There's a leather strap for better organisation and prevention of tangles, and the cable comes in a new dotted design.

The prices of these cables range from $24.99 to $34.99 (roughly Rs. 1,700 to Rs. 2,400), and they will be available from the company website from Spring 2019.
