UGREEN US290 60144 Braided USB-A to Micro-USB Cable, 0.25 m

Overview

The UGREEN 60144 (US290 family) is a very short 0.25 m USB-A to Micro-USB cable for charging or syncing a Micro USB device from a port right next to it, such as a power bank in a bag or a controller beside a console. A nylon braid and aluminium-alloy plug housings make it a hard-wearing short lead, and it carries USB 2.0 data at up to 480 Mbps.

Is it right for you?

• Suits a device that sits beside its charger or computer; at 0.25 m it is not for using a phone while it charges.
• Fits standard Micro-USB Type-B ports only, not Mini-B, USB-C, Lightning or the wider two-part USB 3.0 Micro-B connector.
• Charging works with ordinary USB chargers, and Quick Charge 2.0 and 3.0 when both charger and device support it.

Key features

• USB-A male at the host or charger end to Micro-USB Type-B male at the device end, 0.25 m.
• USB 2.0 data up to 480 Mbps.
• Nylon-braided jacket, aluminium-alloy connector housings, moulded strain relief and nickel-plated connectors.
• Passive cable with no driver needed; the connected device’s own requirements still apply.
• 55 g.

What else you need

A USB-A charger, power bank or computer port, and a device with a standard Micro-USB port.

Before you buy

• Only 0.25 m: stretching it between moving devices can damage the small Micro-B port.
• It cannot make a charge-only accessory transfer data, or make a phone accept Quick Charge if it does not support it.
• No video, audio conversion, Ethernet, OTG host function or signal regeneration.
