15 cm USB-A to Lightning cable

This 15 cm cable connects Apple Lightning devices to a USB-A charger or port for charging and syncing. It carries Apple MFi certification so it works with iPhone 12 Pro, 11, XR, 8, iPad Air, iPad Mini and other Lightning-equipped models. The short length suits desktop charging stations, vehicle consoles or power-bank use where excess cable would be in the way.

Installation and common issues

Plug the USB-A end into the host port and the Lightning end into the device; no drivers or configuration are required. The Kevlar aramid fibre core and TPE jacket are tested to 10000 bend cycles at 180° and 5000 insertion cycles, so repeated plugging and routing in tight spaces rarely causes failure. The only frequent issue is attempting to use the cable with a USB-C port or a non-Lightning device, which the connectors do not support.

Check your setup before ordering

Verify that the host you plan to use provides a standard USB-A receptacle and that the target device has a Lightning connector. The cable supports USB 2.0 at 480 Mbps, so data transfer will operate at that rate. If your charger, hub or computer only offers USB-C ports, or if the mobile device uses USB-C instead of Lightning, this cable will not fit.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the cable is charging and syncing correctly after I plug it in?

The box contains the 15 cm black USB-A to Lightning cable with Kevlar aramid fibre reinforcement and extended strain relief; no extra accessories are included, so you only need a USB-A power source or port.

This single model RUSBLTMM15CMB is Apple MFi certified, supports USB 2.0 at 480 Mbps, and is tested for 10000+ bend cycles at 180° plus 5000+ insertions, making it the correct choice for iPhone 12 Pro and other listed Lightning devices.
