Lightning Adapter for iPhone Cases

This 9 cm white Lightning male-to-female adapter extends the port by 3.5 inches so thick protective cases no longer block the connector. It carries power, data, audio and video through a single short cable. The dongle works with iPhone models from the 5 series through the 14 series and matching iPad or iPod touch devices running iOS 11 to 15.

Replaces Direct Case Removal

Instead of taking a rugged case off every time you charge or sync, leave the case on and plug the adapter into the device first, then attach your regular Lightning cable. The upgrade is worth it when daily case removal wears the case clips or when a car dock, speaker dock or thermal imager needs a little extra reach. It does not help owners who have already moved to USB-C iPhones or who need a longer extension for desk routing.

Check Case Cut-out and Port Order

Verify that your case’s Lightning opening is wide enough for the adapter’s male plug to seat fully. Remember the connection sequence: insert the adapter into the iPhone or iPad before attaching the charging or accessory cable. The adapter does not support USB-C ports, so confirm your charger and accessories use standard Lightning connectors.

Questions about this item

What length is the 9 cm Lightning male-to-female adapter cable?

The adapter cable measures 9 cm (3.5 inch) from end to end, giving a short extension between a Lightning port and a Lightning plug.

How do I connect the Lightning male-to-female adapter so it works correctly?

Insert the male Lightning end into the power source or accessory first, then plug your iPhone or iPad into the female Lightning end; reversing this order can prevent charging or data transfer.

Will the white TPE jacket on the 9 cm Lightning adapter wear out and need replacement?

The TPE jacket is flexible and durable for daily bending, but like any cable it can fray after heavy long-term use; replace the adapter if the insulation splits or the connectors become loose.
