Did you know that some USB cables are better than others at charging your smartphone or tablet? Most are only rated at 1 amp, and will take quite a long time to charge your phone, and won’t be capable of charging an iPad if it’s being used at the same time. You can plug the USB cable into a mains adapter to get more juice, but unless your cable is up to speed you won’t see much of a difference in charging times.
That’s where the Deff Retractable Sync and Charge Cable comes in. It’s rated for much faster charging at 2.1 amps – that’s enough to charge anything from an iPhone to an iPad, a Galaxy S2 to a Galaxy Tab 10.1. As well as fast charging, the cable also comes in a handy retractable casing so that you don’t have to mess around untangling your cable every time you want to use it. That saves you time and stops wear and tear – definitely a sound investment.
You can get it with either a micro USB and mini USB plug (for Android, BlackBerry and Windows Phone devices) or an Apple 30 pin connector (for iPhones, iPods and iPads). For more information, check out the links below:
