Is the Micro USB side 5-pin or 11-pin? And what max CURRENT can the cable transfer? I need 2.4A+. No one has answered these questions explicitly.

Micro USB is a standard which holds only 5 pins. Samsung recently released a cell phone with a non-standard 11 pin output to handle HDMI output via their proprietary hardware accessories. Therefore, I doubt the Amazon basics cable is 11 pin. I checked, and I only saw 5 pin. Regarding 2.5A+... what exactly are you trying to put through this cable?!?! Standards have 2.1A for tablets - I doubt this cable was designed for much more. If you are looking for an 11 pin cable, check with Samsung, I doubt you'll find anything anywhere else. And, for 2.5+A, I don't think you'll find what you are looking for in a non-standard configuration...

I would bet you could find one at an electronics store like Radio Shack, or an internet store, but it would help to know the name of the connection. From what I can tell, one end has a male 2.0 usb and the other end is a male 2 pin mini micro.

I think there's one very important point that no one has mentioned: USB 3.0 provides 0.9 amps while USB 2.0 provides 0.5 amps. Keep that in mind. BTW, 3.5" always needs the power adapter; 2.5" USUALLY (not always) is not required.

Hi Con! This is a standard USB 2.0 cable. It is best to contact TP Link if this cable can supply enough power for that specific device.

I think it is more of a Mini-B USB cable. As explained in: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB#Mini_and_Micro_connectors

Hi Sheena: Jeffrey beat me to it. The only caution you want to take is to not treat this a 4 ports each capable of 15 Amps.With best regards

Along these same lines does anyone know will the ports work independently at 3.0 if the added peripherals are 3.0 but the computer port is 2.0? Meaning can i transfer from port 1 to port 2 device at 3.0 even though the power i am getting from the motherboard port is only 2.0?

the cord is USB to microUSB, and the other is 12V to microUSB. Both of these are common cables.

Look up the "AmazonBasics USB 2.0 A-Male to Mini-B Cable - 6 Feet" and any USB wall charger that gives adequate current (there are many now that are &gt; 1 amp at 5v)

Hello Tim. The USB ports can be used for charging one 2.1Amps device or two 1Amp devices.

For USB you need 2.0 USB Type A to Mini B Male to Male 5 PIN and for firwirewire you need 4-pin to 6-pin.

USB headers are always going to require 5 pins. I am not familiar with a 4 pin header cable at all. What are you trying to do so that we can get you the right product?

Do you mean the voltage output? If so, it outputs USB voltage (5 V DC at a max of 2 amps).

in this picture the USB Port on the left is 2.1Amp and the one on the right is 1amp. The small micro usb port is for no-solar recharging of the unit, but I'm sorry to say my unit has stop recharging, either by solar or the micro usb.

Data and charging. I will add they aren't the sturdiest cables. The mini USB cable lasted only 6 mo, but I used it often. The micro and 30 pin I use less often but I learned to be gentle when pulling them out. The are holding up so far.

Mine has a Mini-USB 5v cord that came with it so I can plug it in for power. This plug also dual functions as the transfer cable as well so I only need 1 cord in order to access any of my micro drives.

It's a standard 2.0 USB connection. The wording in the description is just funny. Any standard USB port will work.
