Charge or sync your portable Micro USB devices, with the cable out of the way - The USBAUB50CMD 0.5m USB to Down Angle Micro USB Cable provides a high quality connection between your Micro USB 2.0 mobile devices (smartphones, digital cameras, Tablet PC devices, portable hard drives, etc.) and your PC or Mac computer, for everyday tasks such as charging, data synchronization or file transfers. The down-angled Micro USB connector allows you to access your mobile Micro USB devices, while keeping the cable out of the way, and stress away from the port. Perfect for close-range device connections, our shorter micro USB cables provide a portable solution that makes them perfect for carrying as an accessory for your tablet or laptop. Designed and constructed for maximum durability, this high quality USB to Micro USB cable is backed by StarTech.com"s Lifetime Warranty. As an alternative, StarTech.com also offers a 0.5m USB to Up Angle Micro USB Cable (USBAUB50CMU), which provides the same convenience as this down-angled cable, but allows you to connect to your Micro USB device from the opposite direction.
