Customer Questions & Answers

What advantages does this cable with a switch offer compared with a conventional USB-Micro USB cable without a switch?

The main advantage is the integrated ON/OFF switch in the cable, which allows you to cut the power supply without physically disconnecting the cable from the device or USB port. This is useful for avoiding repeated connection/disconnection cycles that could damage the port or connector, and it makes quick resets of devices such as Raspberry Pi easier without handling the hardware.

What limitations does it have in terms of data transfer or fast charging?

This cable is intended for charging only and does not transmit data under any USB standard. It also does not support fast-charging specifications such as Quick Charge or Power Delivery, as the switch may limit the maximum current to approximately 2 A at 5 V (10 W maximum), which is suitable for most Micro USB devices but insufficient for fast charging on compatible phones.

What are the exact materials and dimensions of the cable, and what exactly is included in the package?

The cable is black PVC, with standard internal copper conductors. Total length: 1 m (±3%). Connectors: USB 2.0 A male at one end and Micro USB B male at the other. The package contains only 1 charging cable, with no manuals or additional accessories.

How does repeated use of the switch affect the cable's durability, and is any maintenance recommended to extend its service life?

The mechanical switch is rated for an estimated cycle life of at least 10,000 operations. To maximise service life, it is recommended to operate the switch gently and avoid overloading the cable with devices that draw more than 2 A. No special maintenance is required, although it is recommended to clean the connectors occasionally with compressed air or a dry cloth to prevent poor contact.

Does this cable transfer data?

No, this cable only supports charging and does not allow data transfer.

Is it compatible with Raspberry Pi?

Yes, it is designed to provide a stable power supply to Raspberry Pi and other devices with a micro USB connection.

Which devices are compatible with this cable?

It is compatible with Android devices, Tablet PC, Blackberry, HTC, Samsung Galaxy S3/S4/S5/S6, Sony Xperia Z4/Z3/Z2/Z1 and Nokia Lumia 930/1020/630/925, among others.

What does the switch on the cable do?

The switch lets you turn the power supply on or off without physically disconnecting the cable, making charging control easier.
