USB Type-C / Micro USB 2-in-1 USB Cable

As you would have probably noticed, the USB Standard has been gaining popularity for many years now, with numerous versions coming out that each offer better capabilities in various different ways. However, while it’s certainly awesome that the entire world is moving towards adopting the more recent USB Type-C, during this interim period in which both USB Type-C and the previous Micro USB are popular and prevalent, it can get a little frustrating to have to swap cables out and switch connectors for the different projects you’re working on. This is why we love awesome multi-connector adapter cables such as the USB Type-C / Micro USB 2-in-1 USB Cable from DFRobot, as this cable allows you to enjoy both standards by simply including or removing the little adapter when plugging your cable in, removing the need for swapping out cables between projects.

In terms of the technical specifications of this multi-connector cable, it is manufactured to be a good length of one metre, and is capable of up to 5V 2A (10W) power delivery alongside signals and data. However, it must be noted that because this cable is technically a Micro USB Cable with a built-in optional Type-C adapter, it won’t have quite the same capabilities as a proper USB Type-C cable, since the Micro USB part of the cable is only designed with its own standard conductor set. Despite that though, this is still an awesome cable to help save time and boost efficiency, with clever design aspects like the tangle-resistant cable and the integrated silicone cable tie that add even more value, making it an excellent cable-companion for almost any workshop or electronics environment.

As self-proclaimed “Robo-holics”, DFRobot is a company comprised of over 100 staff members, of which 30% are engineers who love to build robots. It was started in 2008 with the goal of embracing and promoting open-source hardware, with a core focus on Arduino, Raspberry Pi and their very own LattePanda development boards. Since then, DFRobot have manufactured over 1300 unique modules, sensors and components that all work together and complement each other, allowing users like us to enjoy a full spectrum of cutting edge robotics and electronics without having to pay premium prices.

With the primary goal of developing and manufacturing great quality products, while making them accessible to as many people as possible, DFRobot are rapidly becoming one of the most common-place brands in the world of open-source robotics and electronics. With more than 1300 products developed in-house, and an impressive range of different categories and specialisations, there are few brands in the world who can compete in terms of quality, accessibility and genuine innovation.
