This will allow you to charge micro USB smartphones, tablets and other devices such as the Raspberry Pi, Google Nexus or Blackberry Playbook at full speed from a powerful charger or computer USB socket. 

• Follows the 'Dumb USB' specification', so allows you to get the full power from a mains or car USB charger which does not follow this specification, such as an Apple iPhone/iPad charger. Our mains chargers and many others already follow the Dumb USB specification, however this low resistance cable may still result in faster charging than ordinary cables.
• A normal cable only allows charging at 0.5A from a computer, this allows you charge upto 2-3x faster.
• If you have purchased a powerful mains or car USB charger but find that it gives poor performance or does not work with your micro USB device, this cable will most likely solve the problem.
• Prevents your device going into 'data transfer' mode when connected to a computer, acting as a 'USB Condom' to prevent data theft / viruses when charging from an unknown USB socket. It works with all devices which charge from a micro USB socket including smartphones and satnavs from Samsung, HTC, Google, Sony, TomTom, etc.
• 20 AWG thick low resistance copper cable for high speed 2A charging with lower power loss than standard cables 24 or 28 AWG cables.
• Thicker plastic housing with extra reinforcement at both connector ends where cables commonly become worn
• A shorter cable such as our 100 or 200cm version will be faster for some devices, the length of a cable effects its resistance.
• Updated 6th January 2015 - Now with higher quality TPE casing, more flexible, environmentally friendly and tactile than cheaper PVC plastic. The cable is now embossed with 'PortaPow Fast Charge/ No Data' and has red connectors to show it is a genuine PortaPow Charge Only Cable.

Other lengths, Apple versions and adaptors are also available. Click here to view the fast charge range.

Phones which use Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 need a Sync + Charge cable for the fastest charging.
