Japanese charger maker CIO has announced the NovaPort DUOⅡ 45W2C Built in CORD REEL, a USB-C charger that integrates a retractable USB-C cable of up to 65 cm directly into the housing[1]. Following a crowdfunding campaign on Makuake, pre-orders on Amazon Japan started on November 21, 2025[1]. The compact "all-in-one" charger is priced at 4,780 yen (tax included) and supports up to 45 W single-port output.
A Built-in Cord Reel That Removes the Need to Carry a Separate Cable
The defining feature of the NovaPort DUOⅡ 45W2C Built in CORD REEL is the retractable USB-C cable of up to 65 cm housed inside the unit[1]. Pressing a button pops out the connector, letting you draw the cable to the length you need. After use, an automatic reel mechanism pulls the cable back inside, so it does not tangle on the desk or inside a bag[1].
Anyone who has carried a charger and a separate USB-C cable knows the frustration of leaving one of them behind. Embedding the cable into the charger itself is a design choice aimed at eliminating that mistake by construction. The Makuake pre-launch campaign reportedly attracted more than 4,700 backers, signaling strong interest in the concept[1].
Single-Port 45 W Output, with Dual-Device Charging via the External Port
For output, the USB-C single port supports up to 45 W[1]. That is enough headroom for stable fast charging of mobile devices such as the MacBook Air or iPad. Being able to power a light laptop, not just a smartphone, makes this a credible primary charger on the road.
In addition to the built-in cable, a separate external USB-C port lets you charge two devices at once, such as a smartphone and an iPad[1]. CIO's proprietary control technology "NovaIntelligence" automatically identifies the connected device and allocates the optimal output instantly, so the per-port limits do not penalize you unnecessarily during simultaneous charging[1].
On the safety side, "NovaSafety 2.0" continuously monitors temperature and automatically throttles power under high load or high heat conditions[1]. The system is designed to keep power delivery stable while suppressing heat buildup during long charging sessions.
Around 125 g, with a Textured Finish Made to Look Clean Even When Idle
The body weighs about 125 g, light enough to carry every day without becoming a burden[1]. With the cable tucked inside the reel, the area around the outlet and on the desk stays uncluttered, and the unit looks tidy even when not in use. CIO describes the design as one that balances "interior compatibility with cleanliness," aiming for a charger you can leave on display[1].
The surface uses a matte texture that resists scratches, the body adopts a fully flat shape, and the plug is insulated[1]. Small touches like these add up in a product that is meant to live in your bag every day. Two color options are offered, black and white, so you can match the rest of your desk setup[1].
The suggested retail price is 4,780 yen (tax included)[1]. Amazon Japan started taking pre-orders on November 21, 2025, with rollout to selected consumer electronics retailers and CIO's own "CIO STORE" to follow[1]. During the "Amazon Black Friday" period right after launch, the unit was offered at a discounted 3,980 yen[1].
Summary
The NovaPort DUOⅡ 45W2C Built in CORD REEL is a USB-C charger with a retractable USB-C cable of up to 65 cm built into the body. It supports up to 45 W single-port output and can charge two devices at once thanks to the combination of the built-in cable and an external port. At about 125 g, with a textured fully flat body, it is positioned as a charger that is easy to carry every day. For anyone who wants to structurally eliminate the hassle of bringing a separate cable, this looks like a strong choice.
