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. It is worth noting that Belkin is claimed to be the first third-party company to offer a USB Type-C to Lightning cable after Apple recently allowed accessory makers to offer them, though they have been available in the market from other brands for nearly two years now. 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.
