Griffin has announced the first third-party Lightning cables. While we’ve started to see accessories trickle out for Apple products that use the new connector, such as the iPhone 5 and iPad mini, until now you haven’t been able to buy an actual charge & sync cable from anyone but Cupertino itself. Griffin is offering the cables in four different lengths: 2-foot, 3-foot, 4-foot (coiled), and 3-meter (9.7-foot), priced at $16.99, $18.99, $24.99, and $29.99 respectively. For comparison, Apple sells a 3.5-foot cable for $19, so Griffin isn’t really undercutting on price here. Still, with more flexibility in length and a black color scheme, we’re sure these products will find their audience. They’ll be shipping in the first week of December.
