Key Features of Mcdodo CA-3990

Up to 3A Charging for Micro USB Devices

The Mcdodo CA-3990 is specified to support up to 3A maximum charging current. This makes it a useful cable option for compatible Micro USB devices that support higher-current charging through a suitable USB-A power adapter.Keep in mind that the cable's maximum current rating does not mean every device will charge at 3A. Actual charging speed depends on the device's charging capability, the power adapter's output, supported charging protocols and operating conditions. A suitable charger is essential to achieve the best available charging performance.

LED Charging Indicator for Better Visibility

One of the distinctive features of the CA-3990 is its built-in soft LED charging light. The illuminated connector makes the cable easier to spot when charging in a dim room or beside your bed. It also provides a visible indication when the cable is connected to a powered source.This practical feature adds convenience to everyday charging without requiring a separate display or additional controls. It is an LED indicator, not a digital screen that shows charging wattage or battery percentage.

Charging and Data Transfer in One Cable

Along with charging, the Mcdodo CA-3990 supports data synchronisation between compatible Micro USB devices and USB-A computers or other data-enabled equipment. Its listed USB 2.0 data transfer rate is up to 480Mbps.This can be useful when transferring supported files, synchronising data or connecting a compatible device to a computer. Actual transfer performance depends on the connected device, computer port, software and file type. A power-only USB port will not provide data transfer.

Durable Braided Design and Reinforced Connectors

The CA-3990 combines a high-density nylon-braided cable exterior with aluminium-alloy connector housings. The construction is designed for everyday handling and offers a more substantial finish than a basic smooth-jacket cable.Retailer specifications also describe a tinned copper core, dual shielding and reinforced TPE strain-relief sections. These construction details are intended to support reliable cable handling around the connector joints. For better long-term use, avoid pulling the cable by its wire, bending it sharply near the connectors or exposing it to excessive heat and moisture.

Wide Micro USB Device Compatibility

The USB-A to Micro USB connection makes this cable suitable for a range of older and current accessories that still use a Micro USB charging port.

• Micro USB Android phones: Compatible phones with a Micro USB charging port.
• Power banks: Models that use Micro USB for charging or data connection.
• Bluetooth speakers and earbuds: Compatible accessories with a Micro USB input.
