Zusammenfassung:Multi-configurable electrical cable assemblies adapted to facilitate communication with and charging of electronic devices are disclosed. The cable assemblies comprises a cable extending from a first electrical connector to a second electrical connector and a yoke captively and slidably coupled to one end of the cable and rotatably coupled to an adaptor module at the other end. The adaptor module includes one or more electrical connector adaptors. The yoke can be extended or retracted and when the yoke is in an unconnected position, the adaptor module is rotatable to allow for selection of a desired electrical connector adaptor for connection to the cable. In one implementation, the cable extends from a male USB Type A connector to a male USB Micro connector, the yoke is captively coupled at the USB Micro connector end of the cable, and the rotatably coupled adaptor module includes two reversibly coupled electrical connector adaptors. The first electrical connector adaptor includes a female USB Micro connector on one side and a male Lightning connector electrically coupled thereto on the other side and the second electrical connector adaptor includes a female USB Micro connector on one side and a male USB Type-C connector electrically coupled thereto on the other side. The female USB Micro connectors are positioned in opposite directions and can mate with the male USB Micro connector on the end of the cable when rotated into alignment.
