As electronics enthusiasts, we love USB Cables, and we’re always looking for different kinds of cables to cater to the various lengths, applications and other criteria. As such, it’s no surprise that we’ve ordered some fun little Flat Noodle Style Micro USB Cables, measuring in at 1 meter and capable of up to 2.5A current for ultra-fast charging and high-current devices.
The cable, while already being quite unique due to the anti-tangle flat style, is also orange, which is great when you need to differentiate it from others, which are typically all black, blue or white. This way, you don’t have to second guess whether you’re using the right high-current cable for your Raspberry Pi, while also being a lot more aesthetically enjoyable than the plethora of black, blue and white cables that litter the average consumers’ electronics cupboard.

Typical Applications for 1m Micro USB Noodle Cable:
While this Micro USB Cable can be used for any standard Micro USB cable applications, we find that it truly shows it’s real value when powering high-current devices or when allowing for super-charge speeds for mobile device charging. Additionally, what we perhaps like most about this cable, is that despite an impressive length of 1m, it may sometimes get a little messy but never actually tangles to the point at which you need to dedicate time to untangle it. This, if you’re as experienced with long USB cables as we are, is something worth appreciating, and for such a low price, this and all of the other features make this cable a fantastic cost-effective choice.
As an additional note, if you’re a fan of USB cables like we are, you should certainly check out the other interesting cable we got from DFRobot, which is the USB-A to Micro USB Cable with Switch, offering onboard switching functionality and high current transfer by removing its data transfer capabilities.
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.
