About The Entry

Mobile work and travel often involve several devices alongside an assortment of chargers and cables, turning charging into a repeated process of packing, connecting and storing separate accessories. Guided by high integration, compact size and high performance, INIU Cougar Charger A201 brings power delivery and cable management into a single portable system. Its charging and cable components are coordinated within one body to support the changing device needs of mobile work. By reducing reliance on loose accessories, the design creates a more direct relationship between charging, carrying and storage.

Two retractable USB-C cables are integrated into a rounded-square enclosure, making the product’s high level of integration directly visible in its form. The charging module and cable storage are contained within one continuous volume, while rounded corners soften the technical density of the compact body for everyday carrying. A metal centre frame forms a precise structural band between two black high-gloss UV surfaces. Brand accent colours at the cable outlets create controlled visual focal points within the low-saturation body while clearly defining where the retractable elements meet the enclosure.

The two USB-C cables pull out for immediate charging and retract into the body after use, eliminating the need to connect, organise and pack separate cables.

Cable lengths of approximately 60 cm and 90 cm accommodate different distances between the power outlet, charger and connected device.

The C1 port supports up to 70W fast charging when used alone, providing power for phones, tablets and laptops. When C1 and C2 are used simultaneously, power is distributed at 45W + 25W, allowing two devices to charge at the same time.

Reinforced cable connections and strain-relief structures support repeated extension and bending. When retracted, the cables remain protected within the rounded enclosure, reducing exposure to pulling and impacts during transport.

Conventional travel charging separates the adapter from its cables, leaving power delivery, cable reach and storage to multiple independent accessories. A201 reorganises these functions within one compact architecture.
