Description
The Micro-USB Power Extension Cable with ON/OFF Switch is a convenient power control accessory designed specifically for single-board computers like the Raspberry Pi 3, development boards, USB-powered LED strips, and mobile accessories. Instead of constantly unplugging the power cord to reboot or shut down your device, you can simply press the integrated inline push button to toggle power on and off effortlessly.
Built with a pure copper core and durable PVC/PE wrapping, this 28 cm cable safely handles stable 5V / 2.5A DC power loads without excessive voltage drop. It features a Micro-USB male connector on one end and a Micro-USB female connector on the other, allowing you to convert any standard Micro-USB charger or cable into a switched power line.
