Enhance your iPhone 5, iPad 4, iPad Mini and other Lightning - compatible devices' USB charging and data transfer experience with this stylish flowing - effect electroluminescent (EL) cable. The cable has a thin EL cord in the middle and a micro - inverter in the USB plug. It functions just like a regular 2.5 - foot USB cable for charging and data transfer. The speed of the flowing effect gets faster as the current draw through the cable increases, which is a great way to roughly estimate the current draw of your USB device. Remember, the EL inverter constantly draws 70mA, so it can quickly drain a battery - powered USB pack. This cable is white with aqua EL and comes with a standard 'Lightning' connector. We also offer black cables, those with microUSB contacts, and cables with earlier 30 - pin dock connectors for iPhone/iPad.
Using this cable is easy. Just plug the USB end into a power source or a computer, and connect the Lightning connector to your iOS device. It can be used for both charging and transferring data. Keep in mind that the EL inverter always draws 70mA, so if you're using a battery - powered USB pack, it'll run out of power quickly. When not in use, store the cable in a cool, dry place. Avoid bending the cable too sharply or pulling it forcefully as this could damage the internal wires and the EL cord. If the cable gets dirty, you can gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
