FAQs

Will this cable charge my iPhone?

No, this cable uses a Micro USB B connector and is designed for compatible Android devices. iPhones use a Lightning connector.

What does 24AWG mean?

AWG stands for American Wire Gauge. A lower AWG number, like 24AWG in this cable, indicates a thicker wire, which allows for higher current flow and thus faster charging.

How do I know if my device has a Micro B connection?

Micro USB B ports are typically trapezoidal in shape and are found on many older Android phones, tablets, and some portable electronics. It's best to check your device's specifications or visually compare its charging port to images of Micro USB B connectors.

Can I use this cable for fast charging my Samsung phone?

If your Samsung phone has a Micro USB B port and supports a fast charging standard compatible with this cable's capabilities (like Quick Charge), then yes, it should support fast charging when used with an appropriate charger.

What is the benefit of a shielded cable?

Shielding helps protect the signal integrity by blocking electromagnetic interference from external sources, leading to more stable data transfer and charging.

Is the 3-meter length suitable for car charging?

Yes, the 3-meter length provides ample reach for passengers in the back seat or for the driver to comfortably use the device while charging from a car charger.

Does this cable support USB 3.0 speeds?

No, this is a USB 2.0 cable. While it supports fast charging, data transfer speeds are limited to USB 2.0 specifications (up to 480 Mbps).

Troubleshooting

Device not charging

Ensure the Micro B connector is fully inserted into the device and the USB A connector is securely plugged into the power source. Try a different USB port or power adapter. Verify that the power adapter supports fast charging if that feature is expected.

Slow charging speed

Confirm you are using a compatible fast charger and that your device supports fast charging. The cable itself is designed for faster speeds, but the limiting factor may be the charger or device.

Data transfer not working

Check that the USB A connector is fully inserted into the computer's USB port. Try a different USB port on the computer. Ensure your device is set to allow data transfer when connected (this setting may appear on your device's screen).

Cable feels loose at the port

Inspect the Micro B port on your device for any debris or damage. Ensure you are using the correct Micro USB B connector, as opposed to Mini USB or other similar-looking ports.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Connect the Micro B male plug end of the cable to the corresponding port on your Android device (phone, tablet, sat-nav, etc.). Ensure it is fully inserted.
  2. Connect the standard USB A type plug end to a compatible USB power adapter (for charging) or a USB port on your computer (for charging and data transfer).

Compatibility:

  • This cable is designed for devices featuring a Micro USB B port. This is common on many older Android smartphones and tablets, as well as some GPS devices.
  • Important: Please verify your device has a Micro USB B port before purchasing, as it is not compatible with USB-C, Lightning, or Mini USB ports.
  • For fast charging, ensure your power adapter and device both support the same fast charging protocol.

Care:

  • Avoid excessive bending or kinking the cable, especially near the connectors.
  • Keep the cable and its connectors clean and free from dust or debris. Use a dry or slightly damp cloth for cleaning; avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Store the cable loosely coiled when not in use to prevent stress on the conductors.
  • Do not expose the cable to extreme temperatures or moisture.
