We all tend to plug in the micro-USB
connector the wrong way but WinnerGear
has solved that with the world’s first
reversible micro-USB cable. If you have an
iPhone, the lightning connector can be
plugged in either way; same goes with USB
Type-C connector. Micro-USB (Type-B) has
lots of shortcomings and that has been
addressed with the new Type-C plug.
However, it’s going to take a while before it
becomes fully adopted as manufacturers are
rather slow in adding the new USB port to
their devices.
The cable has a length of 200cm with
corrossion-resistant, gold plated plugs at
both ends.
I received a copy of MicFlip reversible
micro-USB cable a couple of days ago and it
works exactly as advertised. You can plug it
into your device without even worrying
about checking if you’re doing it the right
way. I did try it with most of my gadgets
with Micro-USB ports and it worked with all
of them.
It started as an Indiegogo project last year
with quite a huge number of backers. It has
already received over $150,000 in funding
and the cable is already shipping.
This cable isn’t your average cable. If
measures 200cm long and the braided cable
looks quite durable. The connectors at both
ends are plated in gold and according to
WinnerGear, it is corrosion-resistant. The
gold plated plugs are encased in aluminium
shells.
I was afraid the cable wouldn’t support fast-
charge but it sure did. Data transfer and
synchronization sync works fine too.
The cable should work flawlessly with any
device with a micro-USB port.
The pretty long cable and the convenience
of of the reversible plug makes it worth
using.
MicFlip reversible micro-USB cable
presently goes for $20 on their official
website and Indiegogo project page. This
may sound rather too much for a cable but
this looks like a USB cable that would outlast
regular ones and the convenience of a gold-
plated, reversible plug should make you re-
consider. I only wish the other USB Type -A
end too could be reversible.
