Description
The Micro USB V8 Data Cable (30cm) is a compact cable designed for charging and data transfer with compatible devices that use a Micro-USB (Micro-B) port. It is suitable for connecting supported development boards, electronic modules, and other Micro-USB devices to a computer or compatible USB power source.
Its short 30cm length helps reduce cable clutter, making it useful for electronics workbenches, DIY projects, and compact setups. When connected to a data-capable USB port, the cable can support data communication with compatible devices.

Important Notes
- Check that your device has a Micro-USB (Micro-B) port before ordering.

- Charging speed and data performance depend on the cable design and connected devices.
- This cable does not convert Micro-USB to USB-C or Mini-USB.
Micro USB is a type of USB (Universal Serial Bus) connector that is commonly used for charging and data transfer in smartphones, tablets, cameras, and other portable devices. It is a smaller version of the standard USB connector, with a width of 6.85mm and a height of 1.8mm.
Micro USB has a rectangular shape with a slightly tapered end, and it features a five-pin design that includes a VBUS pin for power, a ground pin, and three data pins for transmitting and receiving data. It also has a unique design feature that allows it to be inserted in either orientation, which makes it more convenient to use.
Micro USB has largely been replaced by USB-C connectors, which offer faster data transfer speeds and higher power output capabilities. However, micro USB is still widely used in many devices, especially in developing countries where it is more affordable and readily available.
