Sick and tired of flipping your cables back and forth to connect it on the right side? We were too, so we engineered ASAP Connect to have dual reversible connectors. This means first connection every time on both ends of the cable. Now you can connect your phone even in the dark! Check it out in action below.

Through years of design and material testing, we've reduced the size of the ASAP Connect tip to only 10mm (0.39") wide which fits perfectly into all your Apple and Android devices. We've tested the tips on over 100 phone cases and found it fit on all of them. The only exception is for some phone cases which have a protective flap on the charging port which may not be able to close properly with the tip in place. This also the case for the Samsung S5 phone due to its inbuilt protective flap.

What truly sets ASAP Connect apart from other magnetic connectors is its unique bevelled and concave magnetic connector design on both the tip end and cable head end.
Through this careful 360° exterior positioning of 2 strong neodymium magnets on both ends, the tip only needs to be within the magnetic field of the cable end to be quickly attracted and connect seamlessly.
Competitor designs require the tips to be correctly aligned inside the cable head which requires guidance to be connected correctly if missed. Competitor designs also use weaker magnets and require a very perfect alignment of the cable and tip for a correct connection. See if you can guess which is ASAP Connect below.

Don't be fooled by the similar external look of competitor cables, ASAP Connect (on the right) will connect correctly even if the tip is flipped 180° due to both the strong neodymium magnets having their polarity perfectly positioned and the unique outward and concave magnetic connector design.

We've added an adapter perk which is based off the same technology as the cable. The advantage of the adapter is that you can swap between your existing cable and the magnetic cable by simply snapping on or off the adapter. Please note that we highly recommend the cable over the adapter due to the adapter combined with your existing cable being heavier than just the ASAP Connect cable head on it's own. A heavier cable head means it is more likely for the magnets to disconnect during use.
So far we are offering the adapter in the colors silver and gunmetal. We may offer down the track the colors rose gold and gold if we see a good response for the adapters.
When the adapter is attached to your cable the LED light will stay on permanently when connected to a power source. This is different to the cable LED light which only turns on when connected to your phone.
Please note: you do not need to purchase the adapter to use the current ASAP Connect.

We've tested the cables on dozens of Apple and Android devices and have reported no compatibility issues. As long as you have any device that requires a Lightning connector (such as iPhone 6, iPhone 6 plus, iPad, iPad Mini etc.) or a MicroUSB connector (such as Android phones, mini speakers, headphones etc.) ASAP Connect will work every time.
ASAP Connect is 100% compatible with all data transfer technology and fast charge technology including QualComm 2.0, QualComm 3.0 and Samsung Adaptive Fast Charge.
Please note that our cables are not cross compatible which means Apple cables are not compatible with Android tips and vice versa due to their unique connector properties. More information is available in the design section below.

We have evolved away from the traditional Lightning tip for Apple devices to create what we call the "Alpha" tip for 2 main reasons:
REASON 1: Have you ever had your Lightning tip start wobbling and eventually break off? This happens because the tip and base are made of 2 different components which break apart over repeated use. The Alpha tip solves this problem by integrating both the tip and base into 1 piece.
![]()
REASON 2: As Apple has not currently released their own magnetic Lightning tips, anyone seeking MFi certification from Apple will be refused as they will need to purchase the tips from an Apple MFi certified magnetic Lightning tip manufacturer which does not currently exist as of April 2016.
Without MFi certification most major retailers will not sell a USB cable for Apple devices and leaves the brand potentially open to law suits from Apple. The integration of the Alpha tip bypasses this certification process by not using the Lightning tip and allowing ASAP Connect to be manufactured and sold in major retailers worldwide.

Beware of imitations, fake and low quality magnetic cables on the Internet. We have purchased samples directly off dozens of suppliers who claim to produce premium magnetic USB cables and performed both extensive laboratory and daily-use testing.
Here are our findings:
- We have found many to not work as claimed, not be reversible, not transfer data nor charge your phone as it's maximum speed. We have even found some to create smoke and even damage your phone
- Many of these companies offer cables that do not have the following certifications: FCC, CE, ROHS and hence may not be approved for sale in your country. You should always ask the seller first if they have these international certifications before making a purchase
- Any company which claims to have Apple MFi certified lightning magnetic tips is completely false as of 27th April 2016. Apple has not currently produced nor approved any magnetic Lightning tips commercially and hence will not provide a MFi licenced magnetic Lighting connector to any company attempting to selling magnetic connectors as of 27th April 2016
- We have found many companies to use poor quality magnets that have weak magnetism or lose their connectivity over time due to no magnetic plating
- We have found many companies produce tip designs that are too thick and wide to fit on your phone case

ASAP Technologies is currently dedicating our research and development into a magnetic USB Type C connector as that is the future of phone and USB devices due to its faster speed. There have been significant challenges in this process as USB Type C cables carry a higher electrical current (3.1Amps vs 2.4Amps) which also presents an array of safety concerns. Currently no company in world has a commercialized functional magnetic USB Type C connector and certainly none with international certifications. We've launched a new campaign for a cross-device compatible cable that will have a USB-C tip compatible with a universal cable. You can find the new campaign here.

CAMPAIGN
How do I choose my colour and connector type?
You will be emailed a survey to your inbox via Backerkit at the end of the campaign within 7 days of the campaign ending.
Can I choose a different ASAP Connect connector type and color for each cable I order, even if I order them together as 1 perk?
Yes 100%, you can choose a different connector type and colour for every cable purchased. For example, this means if you purchase a TWIN PACK, you can choose 1 Apple and 1 Android cable in 2 different colours.
How will my order be shipped?
All orders will be shipping with the most suitable premium courier and that will vary between countries. All shipments will have tracking which will be emailed to you once the delivery has been shipped.
Which countries do you ship to?
We ship to all countries excluding the following which have been flagged by courier services as restricted or high risk: Belarus, Cote d'Ivoire, Cuba, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Liberia, North Korea, Sierra Leone, Sudan, Syria & Zimbabwe. If you would like a shipment to any these countries we will make alternative arrangements that may cost more, however we cannot guarantee the shipment's arrival.
Your campaign seems similar to these other crowdfunding campaigns "ZAPTIP" and "ZNAPS" which both are way past their delivery date and also have poor communication with backers so we're very concerned that they are "scams" and this campaign is too.
This question has been added as we feel it's important we are 100% transparent about our project and to establish trust with our backers. We have been dealing with reports from the Indiegogo Trust and Safety Team in regards to these campaigns. Neither our product nor any member of our team is in any way associated with those 2 campaigns. Our technology is proprietary to ASAP Technologies and we have a utility patent-pending on ASAP Connect with patent filing number P103013.AU.
So did your company actually invent the original magnetic USB technology?
It is very important that all backers understand that this technology has been available in Asia since 2014. No company has claimed to have invent the original magnetic USB technology in the form of a patent so we will never truly know who originally invented it as magnetic power connection has been around for over 20 years and predates even the invention of "Magsafe." We can use the analogy of car brands to best explain this. Even though BMW, Ferrari or Lamborghini did not invent the original car, they each have their own unique engine, materials and design. Similarly, ASAP Connect uses our own patent-pending magnetic technology with 18K gold plated connector design. We've solved significant issues found in the existing competitor designs and have created a more advanced technology for magnetic USB cables.
Is there likely to be any manufacturing delays like all the other crowdfunded magnetic cables and adaptors which have all failed to deliver?
Unlike all those other campaigns, we have already paid up front from our own pockets for the tooling cost and produced dozens of samples that have been sent to media worldwide for a hands on review. With the positive response of the final samples we will be able to begin production right after the campaign closes with no manufacturing complications.
FEATURES
What makes ASAP Connect better than other magnetic cables/adaptors in the market?
There are many features, though the most important is that we are the first to incorporate our patent-pending magnetic connector technology and as our magnets are positioned at the exterior of both the cable and connector tip it will always connect easily. We are also the first to incorporate 18k gold platted connectors that have been are laboratory tested to last at least 38,000 connections.
Can the magnets damage my phone in any way?
No, we have completed months of laboratory and field testing to ensure the magnetic field does not interfere with the phone in any way.
How strong is the magnetic connection?
We've designed ASAP Connect to be strong enough to lift an iPhone 6 Plus so the magnetic strength is considerably strong so that it won't disconnect unless fair force is applied.
Is it easy to remove the tip from the phone?
The tip will stay in place from any general daily use even if the phone is dropped, yet it can be easily removed with just your fingers when needed.
Does the ASAP Connect come with international warranty?
Yes, all ASAP Connect orders will come with an international 365 day warranty.
What is the length of the cable?
The length of all ASAP Connect cables is 1.2m (3.94ft). You can purchase additional cables that are a longer 1.5m (4.92ft) for $15 on the Backerkit survey.
COMPATIBILITY
Does ASAP Connect support data transfer for Apple and Android devices?
Yes, this also includes tethering.
Can I plug ASAP Connect into my laptop, computer, car charger or power bank?
ASAP Connect is compatible with everything your existing USB cable is, so it will work with all devices that are USB compatible. However it is not compatible with any audio functions such as your Lightning headphones, speakers or Apple Play.
Will ASAP Connect affect the charging speed?
ASAP Connect will not alter any device's charging speed and can handle the maximum charging speed for mobile phones.
Can I connect a MicroUSB cable with an Alpha tip or vice versa?
No, ASAP Connect's different device versions are not cross compatible due to their unique connector prong configurations. This means a cable designed for Apple will not work with an Android tip and vice versa.
Why have you not chosen to use the original lightning connector or have MFi certification?
Apple has not released a magnetic lightning connector, hence it is not possible to apply for MFi certification and by producing a lightning connector that is not MFi certified, it leaves that company open to legal action by Apple. Any company claiming to have a MFi magnetic connector is not possible as of July 2015. You can ask the company for a PPID number from Apple as proof.
Does ASAP Connect support QC2.0 or QC3.0?
ASAP Connect will support up to 5V/2.4Amps, which is more than most cables available, but it will not support the maximum speeds of Qualcomm Quick Charge technology due to the 5V limit of the LED light. We have tested our cable with a QC2.0 charger and charge speeds are 10% slower from 0 - 50% battery power, and exactly the same speed from 50% - 100% battery power.
