8-Pin to USB Cable for Apple Devices

This 3-foot purple cable connects an 8-pin Lightning device to a standard USB port for charging and data syncing. It supports iPhone 6, iPod Touch 5th generation, iPad 4, iPad Mini and iPad Air. The flat, tangle-free design resists knots and wear during daily use. It functions with iOS 8 without triggering compatibility warnings.

Replacing Worn or Short Factory Cables

Swap this cable in when the original cord frays, fails to sync or is too short for comfortable reach. The flat construction adds durability over round cables that twist and kink over time. The upgrade is worth it if you need a reliable spare for travel, office or bedside charging. It restores full charge and sync speed for the listed legacy Apple models.

Check Your Device Port and USB Power Source

Verify your device uses the 8-pin Lightning connector introduced with the iPhone 5, as earlier 30-pin models will not fit. Ensure your USB power adapter or computer port delivers sufficient current for charging. The cable is 3 feet long, so confirm that length suits the distance between your device and the power source. No driver installation is required for syncing.

Questions about this item

Does the 8-pin connector fit the iPhone 6 and iPad Mini listed in the compatibility list?

Yes, the 8-pin plug is designed for the iPhone 6, iPod Touch 5th Generation, iPad 4, iPad Mini and iPad Air.

What is the correct way to plug the USB end into a computer so the cable charges and syncs without errors?

Insert the USB connector fully into a standard USB-A port on the computer; the flat cable design helps prevent upside-down insertion that can cause connection issues.

How often should the 3-foot purple cable be replaced if used daily for charging and syncing?

Replace the cable if the flat jacket shows fraying, the 8-pin pins become bent, or intermittent charging and sync errors appear during regular use.
