Product Information
Full details
The SKS Compit Cable is an essential accessory for cyclists using the SKS Compit system who need to charge their Apple devices on the go. Designed specifically for iPhone models with Lightning connections, it bridges the gap for non-QI certified phones by connecting them directly to the Compit +COM/UNIT communication station. While it offers a secure and reliable charging link, users should note that the cable is specifically tailored to this ecosystem and requires the separate +COM/UNIT station for functionality.

FAQs
Can I use this cable with non-SKS products?
While it is a standard Lightning cable, it is physically designed to work with the SKS Compit +COM/UNIT system; its 10cm length may be too short for other applications.
Does this support data transfer?
This cable is designed primarily for charging applications within the SKS Compit ecosystem.
Will this work with iPhone 15 or newer?
No, this cable uses a Lightning connector. iPhone 15 and newer models use USB-C connectors.
Is the cable waterproof?
The cable is weather-resistant for cycling use, but it should not be submerged in water.
Why do I need this if my phone supports QI charging?
This cable is specifically for non-QI certified iPhones. If your phone supports wireless charging, you may not require this cable.
Troubleshooting
Phone is not charging when connected
Verify that the +COM/UNIT communication station is active and properly powered, and check that the Lightning port on the phone is free of lint or debris.
Cable connection feels loose
Inspect the Lightning connector for bent pins or damage, and ensure the port on your phone is not obstructed by a protective case.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, simply plug one end of the cable into the +COM/UNIT communication station mounted on your SKS Compit holder and the other into your iPhone's Lightning port. Ensure the cable is routed away from moving parts or points of potential friction. Because this cable is exposed to the elements, periodically check the connectors for debris or moisture buildup. If the cable becomes dirty, wipe it clean with a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use aggressive chemical cleaners, as these may degrade the cable housing over time.
