Micro USB Cable 2M 2PACK fast charging cable
Product description
This 2 metre Micro USB cable twin pack gives extra reach for charging and data transfer around the home, office and car. Supplied as two cables, it aims to make charging tablets, older Android phones and accessories more convenient while supporting faster charge currents according to the manufacturer.
Key Points
Two long 2 metre leads reduce the need to stay close to a wall socket when using a device in bed or at a desk. The cables use a Micro B connector that fits older smartphones, tablets, Kindle models from 2007–2018 and many controllers and accessories.
The construction combines a gold-plated connector with a heat-resistant aluminium casing and a braided outer sheath. This design helps the cable resist everyday wear and the manufacturer states it has passed extensive bend testing. Nylon braided jacket adds abrasion resistance and helps keep the cords tidy during travel or daily use. ⚡
One important nuance is that these are USB 2.0 A-Male to Micro B cables. They are not compatible with iPhone Lightning ports or USB Type-C devices, and data speeds and charge limits follow USB 2.0 specifications rather than newer standards.
Technical Specifications
- Name: Micro USB Cable 2M 2PACK
- Length: 2 metres per cable
- Connector: USB A Male to Micro B Male
- Charge current: up to 2.4A (according to the manufacturer)

Usage Recommendations
For charging larger devices such as tablets or older Kindle models, plug into a compatible charger that can deliver higher current to make use of the cable’s charge capability. For data transfer between a PC and device, use the supplied cable with a USB 2.0 port to achieve the stated transfer rate.
Store the cables loosely coiled to preserve the braided sleeve and avoid tight bends at the connector ends. If you plan to use modern phones fitted with USB-C or Lightning ports, consider an appropriate adapter or a different cable type because these leads will not fit those ports. 😊
Practical Notes
The pack includes two identical cables so you can keep one in a bag and one at home. The aluminium connector housings are described as heat-resistant, which may be useful during prolonged charging sessions. According to the product information, lifetime technical support and an 18 month coverage period are available for peace of mind.
