We don’t recommend a three-in-one cable with Micro-USB, USB-C, and Lightning for everyday use, but it is handy for travel.

Handy for travel, this three-in-one cable can connect to devices with Micro-USB, USB-C, and Lightning.

This is the best three-in-one cable (Micro-USB, USB-C, and Lightning) we’ve tested, and it has a lifetime warranty.

The Anker PowerLine II 3-in-1 cable comes complete with a Micro USB, USB-C, and most relevant to us here, a lightning connector attachment. The cable is sheathed in a vinyl-like material similar to that of the stock Apple Cable. This coating, however, is thicker and more pliable than the Apple version. When coiled, the cable holds its shape fairly well and doesn't spring back open like the Apple version is prone to do. That, combined with the standard Anker Velcro strap, makes coiling and storing this cable quick and simple. 
The micro USB attachment serves as the base connector, which the USB-C and Lightning connector snap onto. Both connectors snapped firmly into place and gave us no connectivity issues. Like other universal chargers, if you don't need the extra charging capabilities, you might not want to sacrifice the additional space needed for this bulky cable. However, if you are after a universal charger, the smaller size, great storability, and good durability make it a perfect choice for travelers that aren't looking to carry a suitcase full of tangled cables.

The Best Lightning Cable for iPhone and iPad

If you are looking for a USB-C cable for transferring data or video, we highly recommend the Anker Thunderbolt 3.0. This USB-C to C cable has a reinforced jacket and bulky overmolds on its connectors for increased durability and offers excellent charging performance. It's compatible with Power Delivery and Qualcomm Quick Charge devices with a maximum power rating of 100 watts, allowing it to charge even larger devices as quickly as possible. This cable is Thunderbolt-compatible, allowing data transfer rates of up to 40 Gb/s when connected to a Thunderbolt port or a maximum of 10 Gb/s or 5 Gb/s if connected to a USB 3.1 Gen 1 or Gen 2 port. It is also video-compatible, so you can use this cable to hook up a computer to a USB-C external monitor if your computer has that functionality. 
This cable is a bit on the shorter side, which can make it a bit more inconvenient if you are someone who uses their phone while it's on the charger. While this cable does have a reinforced jacketing and overmolds, it's just a bit less durable than some of the braided or silicone options. Nonetheless, we feel this is your best bet if you place the most focus on data transfer or Thunderbolt compatibility.

The Nomad Kevlar Universal Cable 1.5 m is a top-tier cord. It is made from high-quality components and receives high scores across the board; we would be hard-pressed to find a better-made cable. With an outer sheath constructed of braided Kevlar, this cable will stand up to almost any abuse that consumers put it through. Not only does its Kevlar sheath give it high marks in durability, it significantly adds to the cable's storability. The thick and supple sheath coils and stays coiled incredibly well. In addition to the material being easy to coil, the cable comes equipped with a clever rubber "ratchet" strap that secures the coiled cable in place. The strap also lets you easily feed cable out of the coil if you want to change the length of your cable while charging. Not having to have a big pile of extra cable spilled all over your workspace is a huge plus.
With a micro USB as its base, this cable has both a Lightning and USB-C attachment that is connected via semi-rigid rubber extensions. The rigidity of the attachments keeps the end pieces from flopping around and keeps the whole package a little neater while not in use. With more than a foot and half of extra length &#40;than the Anker 3-in-1 cable&#41;, the Nomad had more practical applications as a universal charger, such as the ability to reach the back seat of a car. The only real downside with this cable is the bulk. If you don't need the universal charging capabilities, lugging this thing around might feel like a waste of space. Given its rugged durability and extra length, this charger is perfectly suited to rideshare drivers and businesses.
