Product Overview

Featuring a keychain attachment, this tiny adapter cable ensures you have a Micro USB connection wherever you go, without tangling bulky wires or occupying much space in a bag or pocket. This lightweight cable variant carries the barcode 4040849718106 and is representative of Goobay’s small form‑factor USB accessories aimed at convenience and everyday use.

Key Features and Benefits

• Compact keychain design: The integrated key ring and quick‑release fastening make this cable easy to attach to keys or a backpack for on‑the‑go access.
• USB 2.0 Hi‑Speed: Offers data transfer rates up to approximately 480 Mbps between devices with compatible USB 2.0 ports.
• Micro USB to USB‑A connectivity: Standard male USB‑A and Micro USB male connectors allow plugging into a wide range of devices such as older smartphones, tablets, Bluetooth speakers, cameras and power banks.
• Flexible, flat cable construction: A short (~8.5 cm) flat cable flexes easily and helps prevent tangling, while the rubberised surface enhances durability.
• Durable design: Rubberised surfaces resist everyday wear and support frequent handling, ideal for everyday carry.

Who This Product Is For

The Goobay USB‑A 2.0 to Micro USB Keychain is suited for users who still use devices with Micro USB ports and want a convenient connector always within reach. It fits well for:

• People carrying older Android phones, MP3 players, GPS units or Bluetooth accessories that require a Micro USB connection.
• Commuters and travellers who need a small, reliable cable for occasional data transfer or emergency charging.
• Students and professionals who like to keep a cable attached to keys or bags to avoid forgetting or losing it.
• Anyone seeking a low‑cost, clutter‑free USB accessory to supplement existing cables.

Usage Tips

• Attach the cable to your key ring or backpack strap so it’s always available when you need to charge or sync a Micro USB device.
• Use it with a power bank for on the go charging sessions without having to carry a full‑length cable.
• When transferring data, ensure both devices support USB 2.0 specifications for best compatibility.
• Avoid sharply bending the flat cable near the connectors, as frequent stress could eventually wear it out.

Buying Advice

When shopping for the Goobay USB‑A 2.0 to Micro USB Keychain, consider where and how you plan to use it. This cable is ideal as a supplementary or emergency cable rather than the primary charging cord for daily heavy use. If you have newer devices with USB‑C or Lightning connectors, you might need separate adapters or cables tailored to those ports. For frequent data transfers or fast charging, check that your host and device support the speeds and power delivery you need, as USB 2.0 has limitations compared with newer standards.

How long is the cable and why is that important?

The Goobay USB‑A 2.0 to Micro USB Keychain cable has a short length (around 8.5 cm) which makes it easy to carry but means it is best for close‑range connections, not long distance between host and device.

Can this keychain cable charge my phone?

Yes, this cable can provide power to Micro USB‑compatible phones and other devices when connected to a USB‑A power source such as a wall charger or power bank, though charging speed is limited by the USB 2.0 specification and your device’s capabilities.

Will it transfer files between devices?

Yes, the USB 2.0 interface supports data transfer, so you can sync files, photos or music between a computer and a Micro USB device. Speeds are up to USB 2.0 Hi‑Speed rates.

Is this compatible with modern devices?

This cable is compatible with devices that have a Micro USB port. It is not directly compatible with USB‑C or Lightning ports without an additional adapter. For modern devices, consider alternate cables or adapters matching the port types you use most often.
