Special-purpose configurations such as 3.5mm to Micro USB 5-pin assemblies for product-specific power, audio or signal applications.
The Micro USB connector alone does not define every function of the cable. Confirm whether the project requires charging, USB 2.0 data communication or legacy OTG / host operation.
Power-focused Micro USB cables are selected according to current requirement, conductor gauge, cable resistance and cable length.
Data-capable Micro USB cables include the required conductors for device synchronization, communication and firmware programming.
OTG adapter configurations can allow compatible legacy Micro USB devices to connect to selected USB peripherals.
Micro USB charging performance depends on the charger, connected device and cable construction. Current rating should be considered together with conductor gauge, cable resistance and cable length.
For lower-power legacy and embedded devices.
A practical option for many portable products.
Common for tablets, power banks and higher-load Micro USB equipment.
Available where the charger, device and cable configuration support it.
Thicker 24AWG power conductors can be used in higher-current Micro USB cables to reduce resistance and voltage drop.
Heavy-duty configurations can use larger 22AWG power conductors where lower resistance is required.
Longer cables increase electrical resistance. Conductor size should therefore be selected together with required cable length.
Standard Micro USB 2.0 data cables can support Hi-Speed USB communication for synchronization, device communication and firmware upload.
A Micro USB cable used only for charging should not automatically be assumed to include full data wiring.
For standard Micro USB data communication with compatible devices.
28AWG data conductor configurations are available in the existing product specification.
Optional aluminum foil and braided shielding can be used for applications requiring improved signal integrity.
OTG adapters support host-style connectivity only when the connected Micro USB device provides compatible OTG functionality.
Use these parameters when selecting a standard or custom Micro USB cable configuration.
Standard 5-pin Micro USB cable configuration.
For compatible data-sync and communication applications.
Select according to device, charger and cable construction.
Different power and data conductor configurations are available.
Optional shielding for data and equipment applications.
Standard and custom lengths available according to project requirements.
Material selection depends on flexibility, appearance and durability requirements.
Housing construction can be selected according to the product design.
Power, data and connector construction are separated so different Micro USB products can be compared according to their actual function.
