Conductor Material

28/24 AWG stranded tinned copper (oxygen-free)

Shielding Structure

85% tinned copper braid + aluminum foil (dual-layer)

Differential Impedance

90 ±10 ohms (D+/D− pair)

Loop Resistance (1m)

< 60 milliohms total (power and ground lines combined)

Product Description

The USB-A to Lightning/Micro-USB Cord is constructed using 28/24 AWG stranded tinned copper conductors with 125% density aluminum braid and foil shielding. This design minimizes electromagnetic interference and ensures consistent differential pair impedance of 90 ±10 ohms. The result is stable 480 Mbps throughput with suppressed bit error rates, even under signal reflections caused by marginal connectors.

Data Transfer Rate

Up to 480 Mbps (USB 2.0 standard compliant)

Contact Plating Thickness

15 μm gold over 100 μm nickel

Mechanical Insertion/Withdrawal Cycles

≥10,000 cycles (tested under 8–10N force)

Operating Temperature Range

–20°C to +70°C

Insulation Resistance

≥100 MΩ @ 500V DC (per IEC 60950-1)

Withstand Voltage (Hi-Pot Test)

1000V AC for 1 minute between conductor and shield

Jacket Material Thermal Index

105°C (UL 758 compliant thermoplastic elastomer)

EMI Shielding Effectiveness

>40 dB (common-mode and differential-mode)

Dual Interface Switching Isolation

Passive path separation with no shared D+/D− bus

Integrated MFi-compliant authentication circuitry (Apple-approved PID/VID)

Technical Advantages

USB-A to Lightning/Micro-USB Cords ensures sub-60 milliohm loop resistance across the full cable length, using low-impedance conductors and thermoplastic elastomer insulation rated at 300V. This allows sustained current delivery of 2.4A without triggering voltage droop or USB host overcurrent protection. Ideal for charging environments with strict voltage regulation tolerance.

USB-A to Lightning/Micro-USB Cords features reinforced injection-molded stress reliefs, rated for over 10,000 flex cycles at ±90° angles under 1 kg load. Anschlüsse utilize 15μm gold over nickel contact plating, ensuring corrosion resistance and contact continuity in high-vibration or outdoor applications. Mechanical retention force exceeds 8N, conforming to IEC 62680-1-2.

Connector Precision for Low Mating Variance

USB-A to Lightning/Micro-USB Cords is machined to a ±0.02 mm dimensional tolerance on all mating surfaces. Terminal blade insertion force is maintained between 10–35N per IEC standards to prevent PCB trace lift-off or connector deformation. Each connector undergoes insertion-removal testing for 5,000+ cycles with no loss in contact reliability.

USB-A to Lightning/Micro-USB Cords consolidates two interfaces into one field-replaceable SKU, enabling leaner warehouse management and reducing BOM complexity. Procurement can eliminate parallel sourcing of single-function cables, while maintaining device compatibility across iOS and Micro-USB ecosystems with minimal logistical risk.

Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Check all our Frequently Asked Question

How does Frigate ensure connector dimensional accuracy in USB-A to Lightning/Micro-USB Cord manufacturing?

Frigate uses CNC-machined molds with ±0.02 mm tolerance to fabricate each connector housing. This minimizes insertion force variability and ensures consistent mating across certified device ports. Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM) are used for random batch validation. Each connector passes go/no-go gauge inspection before assembly.

What materials does Frigate use for shielding and conductor insulation in this dual-interface cable?

Frigate cables incorporate 28/24 AWG oxygen-free copper conductors with dual-layer shielding—aluminum foil and 85% tinned copper braid. The insulation is made from flame-retardant thermoplastic elastomer rated to UL 758 standards. This provides excellent dielectric strength and thermal stability. The construction meets EMI shielding effectiveness >40 dB.

How does Frigate handle quality assurance for Lightning protocol compatibility?

Frigate integrates MFi-authorized Lightning ICs and verifies signal integrity using USB protocol analyzers. Each cable undergoes automated functional testing with real iOS hosts to validate handshake, sync, and charging behavior. D+/D− line continuity and pull-up resistance are measured in-line. Cables failing any parameter are rejected during final inspection.

What is the bend lifespan of Frigate’s USB-A to Lightning/Micro-USB Cord under mechanical fatigue?

Frigate tests each batch using robotic flex testers at ±90° under a 1 kg dynamic load. The cables consistently achieve over 10,000 bends without conductor failure or insulation cracking. TPE jacket and overmolded strain relief absorb torsional stress effectively. Post-test verification includes continuity and resistance re-measurement.

How does Frigate ensure power stability in USB-A to Lightning/Micro-USB Cord during high current draw?

Fregatte designs its cables with a total loop resistance below 60 mΩ to support 2.4A continuous current. Each batch undergoes real-time voltage drop testing at multiple lengths. Internal power conductors are independently routed to prevent crosstalk with data lines. This ensures thermal performance and safe charging under peak load.
