Product Information

Full details

This 3-meter blue USB 2.0 data sync and charging cable is designed for owners of older Apple devices like select iPhones, iPads, and iPods. Its primary benefit is providing a reliable connection for fast charging and data syncing, up to 480Mbps, with a convenient 3-meter length. A key caveat is its incompatibility with iPhone 5 and newer models, as well as specific iPad and iPod generations, due to its 30-pin connector.

FAQs

Is this cable compatible with my iPhone 7?

No, this cable is not compatible with iPhone 7 or any iPhone 5 or newer models, as they use a Lightning connector. This cable uses the older 30-pin connector.

Can I use this cable to charge my iPad Mini?

No, this cable is not compatible with the iPad Mini. It is only compatible with the original iPad and iPad 2.

What is the maximum data transfer speed?

The cable is USB 2.0 certified and supports data transfer speeds of up to 480Mbps.

How long is the cable?

The cable is 3 meters (approximately 9.8 feet) long.

Will this cable work with any iPod?

This cable is designed for specific iPod models with a 30-pin connector, excluding newer iPod Touch models. Please check your specific iPod model's compatibility.

Can I use this cable for charging and syncing simultaneously?

Yes, this USB 2.0 cable supports both data syncing and charging concurrently.

Why is my device not recognized by my computer?

Ensure the cable is fully plugged into both the device and computer. Try a different USB port or restart both devices. Also, verify your device is listed as compatible.

Troubleshooting

Device not charging

Ensure the 30-pin connector is fully seated in the device and the USB end is securely plugged into a working port or adapter. Try a different USB port or charging adapter.

Data sync errors

Check that the cable is firmly connected at both ends. Restart your computer and the Apple device. Ensure you are using compatible software (e.g., iTunes for older devices).

Cable feels loose

Inspect the 30-pin connector for any debris or damage. Ensure it is properly aligned with the device's port. If the connector appears damaged, the cable may need replacement.

Slow charging speed

Confirm you are using a high-quality USB power adapter. Some computer USB ports may provide less power than dedicated chargers. The cable itself supports USB 2.0 speeds; charging speed is also dependent on the power source.
