This IC socket USB cable provides a straightforward wired connection between a standard host and devices using a micro USB interface for programming and data transfer in development or maintenance contexts. It conforms to CE safety marking and is intended for USB 2.0 environments, offering a reliable link where a compact male-to-male lead is required.

• USB 2.0 signalling supports data transfer and basic programming operations
• Male-to-male connector arrangement enables direct device interfacing
• PVC outer sheath offers abrasion resistance and cable longevity
• Black jacket reduces visual interference in equipment racks
• 500mm length provides a compact, manageable reach for bench work

• Suitable for direct firmware flashing on embedded boards
• Ideal for connecting IC sockets during development and testing
• Used with tools requiring a male-to-male USB Micro‑B connection
• Can be used for short-range device communication in test rigs

It uses a standard USB Type‑A plug at one end and a Micro USB Type‑B plug at the other, both with male contacts for direct host-to-device links.

The jacket is polyvinyl chloride which provides flexibility and resistance to environmental wear common in lab and workshop use.

It is compliant with USB 2.0 signalling levels and therefore designed for speeds up to the USB 2.0 specification rather than USB 3.x rates.

No hazardous area certification is present, so it should be used outside classified hazardous locations.
