  • This magnetic USB cable provides both power and data connectivity.  The cable comes with three interchangeable magnetic tips – Micro USB, USB Type C and Lightning (for iOS devices).  It can be used with all Orbit Research products as well as most other products that connect over USB. The cable is 3 feet in length and offers the most flexibility available in magnetic cables.  Not only can the connector rotate through 360 degrees, but it also has an elbow joint that can bend through 180 degrees. It can be used to charge devices and can also be used for data communication with a computer or smartphone e.g. when connecting with a screen-reader over USB or for updating firmware. The powerful magnet allows easy connection while protecting the device from accidental yanking of the cable.
