Charge and sync your iPhone, iPod or iPad at greater distances (up to 3m) with no loss of charge time, even while inside a protective case. The USB2ADC3M Apple (30-pin) Dock Connector to USB cable for iPhone, iPod and iPad (3m) connects your iOS-enabled mobile digital devices to your computer and features a uniquely constructed stepped Apple Dock Connector, designed by StarTech.com. Unlike a regular connector, the exclusive stepped connector plugs into your iPhone, iPod or iPad, even when inside a protective case, avoiding the inconvenience of having to constantly remove the cover for every charge. This USB to iPhone cable features heavy gauge (20 AWG) wire, which enables convenient syncing and charging of your Apple devices up to 3 meters away from your computer or wall outlet, overcoming distance restrictions while delivering full charging power to your devices with no loss of charge time. This durable cable is Apple MFi certified. If your computer USB port does not deliver sufficient power and you see a \"Not Charging\" message on your iPad or other Apple device, you can use this 3m 30-pin Dock to USB Cable with the USB 2.0 Fast Charging Adapter (USB2CHADP) in order to fast charge your devices.
