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 connection standard with slower data transfer than USB 2.0. Compatibility with USB 1.1 can matter if you need to use the camera with older computers, though video performance may be more limited.
