Product Information

Full details

The Varta Speed Charge & Sync cable 3-in-1 is for users with multiple devices requiring different connectors, offering a single, robust solution for both charging and data transfer. Its key benefit is universal compatibility with Apple and other devices via MFI certification. A potential caveat is that it utilizes a USB-A port for power input, which is less common on newer power bricks. This versatile cable supports up to 12W power and 480 Mbit/s data transfer, featuring a durable 2-meter nylon and aluminum construction for everyday resilience.

Troubleshooting

Device not charging

Ensure the USB-A end is securely plugged into a working power source. Verify the correct connector (Lightning, Micro-USB, or USB-C) is firmly inserted into the device. Try a different USB-A port or power adapter.

Data transfer not working

Confirm the cable is fully inserted into both the device and the USB-A port on your computer. Ensure your computer's USB drivers are up to date. Try a different USB port on your computer.

Intermittent charging or connection

Check for any visible damage to the cable or connectors. Clean the connectors on both the cable and your device. Ensure the cable is not being stressed or pulled at an angle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This cable requires no specific setup. Simply plug the USB-A end into a compatible power source (like a USB wall adapter, computer USB port, or power bank) and then connect the appropriate integrated connector (Lightning, Micro-USB, or USB Type-C) to your device.

Compatibility:

  • Lightning Connector: Compatible with all MFI-certified Apple devices, including iPhones, iPads, and iPods.

  • Store the cable loosely coiled rather than tightly wound to prevent internal damage.
  • Do not expose the cable to extreme temperatures or moisture.
