  • Connection typeMicro USB to USB A

  • Compact 28 cm length for tidy setups
  • Japanese-market build ships from Japan
  • Backward compatible with USB 1.1 devices

Short cable with inline switch

This 28 cm Micro USB to USB A cable includes a rocker switch in the middle section. It is intended for users who want to toggle data power without unplugging the connector. The short length keeps clutter low on a desk or in a portable kit.

USB 2.0 data with manual power cut

The cable supports USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 signalling while the switch interrupts the connection. No active electronics are described, so power draw follows the host port limits. Noise and thermals are not applicable for a passive wire assembly.

Japanese-market build and voltage note

The product ships from Japan and carries labelling in Japanese. Documentation notes the design follows the Japanese 100 V standard, though the cable itself carries only low-voltage USB power. Buyers needing longer reach or a locking connector should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Micro USB to USB A cable with the built-in seesaw switch?

Plug the USB A end into the host port, connect the Micro USB end to the device, then use the rocker switch on the cable to toggle power without unplugging.

What maintenance or replacement will this 28 cm USB 2.0 cable need over time?

No scheduled maintenance is required; replace the cable if the connectors become loose, the switch feels stiff, or the insulation shows wear.

What limit appears first when this cable runs at USB 2.0 speeds for long periods?

The USB 2.0 specification caps the data rate, so throughput reaches its ceiling before the short 28 cm length introduces any signal degradation.
