Gate-side cables and chargers in Terminal C
Tech on the Go in Terminal C is the quick fix when your phone hits 5% before boarding. It sits post-security in the C concourse, so you don’t have to leave the United-heavy gates to grab essentials. Think last-minute power banks, USB-C and Lightning cables, basic headphones, and travel adaptors, all in one small footprint. Prices run higher than Target-level, but not as painful as some airport newsstands; expect around $20–$40 for chargers and $10–$25 for cords.
The shop opens early with the morning banks of United departures in Terminal C and typically runs through the late-evening flights, so you can grab gear for a 6 a.m. departure or a 10 p.m. connection. Stock leans toward mainstream brands you recognize rather than boutique accessories, which matters when you’re gambling on a cable that has to last a whole 3-hour leg to DEN or ORD. Selection skews to phone and tablet support; don’t count on deep laptop accessory options beyond mice and basic USB items.
Watch out for impulse buys on higher-end headphones; by the time you cross from C20 to C45 you’ll pass other spots with similar options, and prices at Tech on the Go can sit at the top of the airport range. Check packaging for connector types before you leave, especially if you’re using newer USB-C-only phones or tablets. One practical tip: test the cable or accessory in the seating area right outside Terminal C’s gate cluster so you can swap it immediately if something’s off.
