Common questions
Will this do fast charging?
It supports up to 1.5A at 5V (7.5W), which is plenty for dev boards and light device charging. True fast charging needs USB-C to USB-C with a compatible charger.
Is it good for programming microcontrollers?
Yes - USB 2.0 data is all you need for serial programming of ESP32, Arduino and similar boards.
My board isn't being detected - what's wrong?
First try a different USB port. If still not detected, the board may need a driver (CH340 or CP210x). This cable is data-capable, so the cable itself is not the problem.
Good to know: Some laptop USB-A ports limit current to 500mA. If a board resets or disconnects under load, try a powered USB hub or a wall charger instead.
