Slim Specifications

Reliable USB 2.0 Performance

The cable supports USB 2.0 with a maximum data transfer rate of 480 Mbit/s. This is sufficient for syncing contacts, photos, and documents to a computer. It is not designed for high-speed video or rapid large file transfers. For optimal performance, ensure your host port is also USB 2.0 or higher. In practice, this provides a stable connection for everyday charging and data tasks.

Straight Connectors for Easy Access

Both connectors feature a straight form factor. This design simplifies connections in tight spaces, such as behind a desktop PC or in a crowded hub. The nickel-plated contacts help maintain a reliable electrical connection over time. Because the connectors are male-to-male, they link a USB-A power source directly to a Micro-USB B device. This eliminates the need for intermediate adapters.

Plug-and-Play Convenience

The cable is plug-and-play, requiring no software installation. Simply connect the USB-A end to a compatible port and the Micro-USB B end to your device. It supports USB Power Delivery for charging, though the specific wattage is not specified. You should confirm the power requirements of your device to ensure adequate charging. This makes it a practical choice for quick setups.

Durable PVC Jacket

The cable jacket is made from Polyvinyl chloride (PVC). This material provides basic protection against daily wear and tear. The cable weighs approximately 80 g, making it lightweight and portable. However, PVC is less flexible than some modern materials. For heavy-duty or frequent bending, consider a cable with a more robust jacket.
