PortaPow 3.3ft Data Block Micro USB Cable (2 Pack)

PortaPow 3.3ft Data Block Micro USB Cable (2 Pack)

• Not compatible with Apple iPhones, iPads, or phones using the newer USB-C shape socket.
• Uses 20AWG copper cable for lower resistance and faster charging than a budget micro USB cable
• Prevents your device going into 'data transfer' mode
• Hardwired with the Fast Charge USB signal - If you have purchased a mains or car USB charger but find that it charges your device slower or not at all, this will most likely solve the problem
• Charge-only cables are NOT compatible with Qualcomm Quick Charge or other extra fast charging standards

<b>Updatef September 2016 - Improved connectors and build quality for better reliability</b><p>Compatible with smartphones, tablets and satnavs from Samsung, HTC, Google, Sony, etc. This cable will prevent your device going into data transfer mode and improve charging speed from a powerful USB charger which is built to the wrong spec (eg designed for Apple devices rather than Android), and from computers / TVs, car stereos and other sockets which normally put your device into data mode.</p> <p> <b>20 AWG copper cable</b> - This is the lowest resistance currently available and is significantly lower than standard 24AWG or 26AWG used by most 3rd party cables - lower AWG indicates lower resistance and potentially faster charging. </p> <p><b>TPE casing</b> - A normal PVC cable with this much copper would be quite stiff, TPE allows the cable to be as flexible as a thinner cable</p> <p> <b>Micro USB fast charge signal</b> is built into this cable, many car/mains chargers do not send this signal so will not output full power with a normal charge +sync cable. </p> <p> <b>Data Blocker</b> Prevents your device going into data transfer mode to protect it from data hacking / viruses when charging from an unknown socket. </p> <p> Even when using this cable, charging speed will still be limited by the maximum speed your device supports and the maximum power your USB socket is capable of outputting, use one capable of 2A or more for best results. Using this cable will not increase charging speed in all cases. </p> <p> Phones using the Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 spec require a compatible charger and a sync cable to charge at their highest speed, charging will be slower when using a normal charger or this charge only cable. Search for PortaPow Charge+Sync for our Qualcomm compatible cable. The Samsung Galaxy S6 / Edge also requires a sync cable for the fastest charging speeds.</p>
