Gate-side chargers and cables in T Concourse
By the time you hit Tech on the Go in CMH’s Concourse T, you usually already know what you forgot: a Lightning cable, USB-C brick, or wired earbuds for that Embraer seatback jack. This is the airport’s primary tech kiosk, sitting past security near several regional gates, so you don’t have to backtrack to the pre-security shops.
Expect airport pricing: common charging cables and basic earbuds often run in the $20–$35 range, and power banks can push toward $40–$60. You’re paying for being 200 feet from your gate, not for bargain hunting. Inventory tilts hard toward phone accessories and travel basics, not high-end laptops or cameras, so don’t bank on replacing major gear here.
Hours roughly track the first and last CMH departures, so early 5–6 a.m. flights and late 9–10 p.m. returns usually catch it open. If you have a 30-minute connection, you can duck in, grab a cable, and still board comfortably; it’s a quick in-and-out stand, not a full store you get lost in.
Watch your packaging: some items are blister-packed and a pain to open at 30,000 feet without scissors, especially larger battery packs and multi-port chargers. If you’re buying a cable or small adapter under $30, ask them to open it at the counter so you can plug in as soon as you sit down at the gate.
