Can the three connectors be used simultaneously?
Timothy K
on Jan 20, 2017
BEST ANSWER: The Lightning and USB-C connectors are just adapters that fit on the end of the micro-USB cable. They're attached by a bit of rubbery-ish cord. So no, they cannot be used at the same time.

Doesn't look like it, and unlikely at this price. The back of the apple connector is a micro USB female, so you likely plug the lightning or USB-C adapters into the micro USB active end when you need them. The "wires" connected to the cable end are just tethers for the micro USB to Lightning and micro USB to USB-C adapters.

No, one at a time so buy 2 or 3 but replace your multiple cords with this one so you can charge any device at any station you have set-up.

NO it cannot. The center one carries the power so if you need either of the "y" side fittings, you must attach it to that center part.

This cable would be made for the purpose of charging devices so I doubt it would work in that situation.
It would be best to use an adapter for USB to HDMI specifically for such a setup.

Replace multiple cords
So far it's been a solid cable. I like that you can't flip the adaptors into the wrong orientation so they're always easy to attach. As this cable works for charging and data through It's replaced all the other USB cords for connecting devices to my PC. I haven't tested transfer speeds through the various ports, but it's fast enough for the handful of files I transfer using it.
I wish they made a longer version.

Very Convenient to Have
This usb-micro plus two adapter (lightning and usb-c) cable is very convenient to use. Of course, you can only charge one device at a time but I always lose adapters that aren't strapped on. This one goes in my airline kit because it will charge my headphones (Micro-b), my iPad (lightning) and my bluetooth speaker (usb-C). How did we get here? This adapter gets us out at least. Enjoy.
