USB A to 8‑Pin Charging and Sync Cable ShiverPeaks 14-12040, 0.5 m

ShiverPeaks 14-12040 is a 0.5 m USB A to 8‑pin charging and sync cable intended for short-reach connections between devices with an 8‑pin connector and standard USB A ports. It supports power delivery for charging and enables data transfer for contact sync, media transfer and backups when connected to compatible hosts such as computers, chargers or power banks. The compact length makes it suitable for desktop use, travel adapters and situations where a short, tangle-free connection is needed.

Advantages

The cable combines charging and data synchronization functionality in a single compact 0.5 m design, reducing cable clutter and improving portability. Constructed with durable conductors and a reversible 8‑pin connector profile, it provides a stable connection for both power delivery and file transfer. The insulation and strain-relief features contribute to longer life in everyday use, while the standard USB A compatibility ensures broad interoperability with existing chargers, computers and power sources.

Suitable for

• Charging devices with an 8‑pin input from USB A chargers, power banks and car adapters
• Synchronizing contacts, photos, music and backups with a computer or laptop
• Use at a desk, in a car or with portable chargers where a short cable is preferred

Key specifications

• Cable type: USB A to 8‑pin
• Length: 0.5 m
• Functionality: Charging and data synchronization
• Connector A: Standard USB Type A plug
• Connector B: 8‑pin device connector
• Application: Power delivery and file transfer between compatible devices

How to use

Connect the USB A plug to a compatible USB A port on a computer, charger or power bank, and insert the 8‑pin connector into the target device. For charging, verify the power source provides suitable output for the device; charging speed depends on the source and device capabilities. For data synchronization, allow any device prompts for file access or driver installation on first connection, then use the operating system’s file transfer or sync utilities to move data.

Recommendations

To prolong cable life, avoid sharp bends near the connectors, unplug by gripping the connector body rather than pulling the cable, and store the cable loosely coiled. For reliable data transfers, use direct connections to a computer rather than through unpowered USB hubs and ensure both devices remain awake during synchronization.
