This describes a braided charging cable with a USB Type-A connector and a Lightning connector. This cable is used to charge devices with a Lightning port, such as iPhones and iPads, from a USB Type-A port. The cable is often covered with braided nylon for increased durability and to prevent tangling. There are two types of connectors: USB Type-A and Lightning. USB Type-A is the most common USB connector shape and is rectangular. Lightning is Apple's proprietary connector and is used on iPhones, iPads, etc. The cable shown in the image is not a USB Type-C cable. * Shipping is not available on weekends and holidays. * Orders placed by 3 p.m. on weekdays will be shipped the same day.
