Charge-status cable for Micro-USB devices

The StarTech.com USBAUBL1M is a one-metre USB-A to Micro-USB cable with built-in charge-indicator LEDs. It suits anyone who regularly charges phones, tablets or accessories that still use the Micro-USB connector and wants visible confirmation of charging state without turning the screen on. The moulded connectors and black PVC jacket are rated for everyday carry and desk use.

Passive thermals with visual feedback

The cable draws power only from the host port and runs cool during normal charge and sync sessions. A red LED illuminates while current is flowing and switches to green once the attached device reports full charge, giving an instant, silent status cue without extra software or driver overhead. No active cooling or external power is involved.

Replaces basic Micro-USB leads lacking charge

The jump is worthwhile when you frequently leave devices plugged in unattended and want to unplug the moment charging finishes, reducing unnecessary trickle current. It does not add fast-charge protocols, increase data throughput or fit USB-C ports, so buyers needing those capabilities should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the Type A and Micro-B ends so the LED charging indicator works correctly?

Plug the Type A male connector into a USB power source or computer port, then insert the Micro-B male connector into the device; the red LED lights while charging and turns green when the device reaches full charge.

Will the LED indicator or cable jacket need replacement after extended use?

The cable has no user-serviceable parts; the moulded connectors and integrated LEDs are designed to last the lifetime of the cable under normal use.

What is the maximum current the 1 m cable can carry before voltage drop affects charging speed?

The cable supports standard USB 2.0 charging currents up to 2 A; higher loads may increase voltage drop over the 1 m length and slow charging.
