Full details

This kenable 30 Pin USB Flat Cable is designed for users with older Apple devices like iPods, iPads, and non-iPhone 5 models. Its primary benefit is enabling fast charging and data syncing at speeds up to 480Mbps, connecting your legacy device to a PC or USB charger. A key consideration is its incompatibility with newer Apple devices. The cable features a flat, yellow design for easy identification and storage, with a USB 2.0 to 30-pin connector and nickel ends.
