This here is your standard A to micro-B USB cable, for USB 1.1 or 2.0, but with a twist! Literally! Instead of the cable coming straight out from the connector, there's a right angle bend. We thought this might make a good pair for a Raspberry Pi Model A or B as the cable doesn't stick out as far. We got cables with extra-beefy 24 AWG power wires, and 28 AWG data lines, so it's particularly good for power-hungry devices like micro-computers and phones.
This cable isn't suggested for Model B+ since the microUSB moved around the corner - this cable blocks the HDMI port!
Approximately 5 feet / 1.5 meter long.
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- AWG
- American Wire Gauge is a numbering system for wire thickness, where a lower number means a thicker wire. The AWG rating matters because thicker wire can usually carry more current with less voltage drop and heating.
- HDMI
- HDMI is a common digital video and audio connection used by computers, media players, and many displays. If a display kit has HDMI input, it is usually much easier to test with a single-board computer because it can act like a normal monitor.
- USB 1.1
- USB 1.1 is an older USB standard with much slower data transfer than USB 2.0 and later versions. Compatibility with it allows connection to very old computers, though data-heavy tasks such as video may be limited at that speed.
