USB-A to Lightning cable EATON MTC-501 5 m, blue

The EATON MTC-501 is a 5 m USB-A to Lightning cable in blue designed for charging and data transfer between USB-A hosts and Lightning-compatible Apple devices. Its extended length allows convenient connection across rooms, desks or vehicles, enabling remote charging and syncing of iPhones, iPads and accessories without requiring proximity to the power source. The cable features standard USB-A and Lightning connectors for broad compatibility with chargers, computers and in-car power ports.

Advantages

The 5-metre length reduces the need to reposition devices near outlets and provides flexibility in work and living spaces. The cable construction is intended for repeated daily use and supports both charging and data synchronization. Color-coded blue insulation makes the cable easy to identify among other cords, while standard connectors maintain compatibility with existing USB-A chargers and computer ports.

Suitable for
