Your Input & Output Requires Connection

Staying connected in our modern world requires technology.

I bet you've been in a meeting or out an about traveling or shopping only to find that your electronic device is out of power. Making sure you can still run the square reader on your phone or tablet might be an essential part of your holiday sales plan.

Continuing to expand your knowledge around tech terminology, today's post explores the different terms you should know before making an cable purchase.

When it comes to cables, keep in mind the input tip is the end of the cable that connects to the power bank or the USB adapter, while the output tip is the end of the cable that connects to the device ( phone, tablet, etc) needing to be charged.

What are the cable end options?

• USB-A: Typically used as the input tup on power banks and USB adapters

• USB-C: The newest and most versatile USB type

• Lightning: Apple's proprietary USB type for iPhone models and earlier

• 2-in-1 Cable: Features a combination of micro USB and lightning connectors on the output side. These are not MFI certified.

• MFI-certified: Certified cables by Apple that can charge and transfer data
