A light white lead for everyday use
This Xtorm Original cable pairs a USB connector with a Lightning connector over a length of 1 m. It is meant for people who charge a Lightning device from a charger, a computer or a power bank with a USB port. Its weight of 20 g is barely noticeable: it vanishes into a jacket pocket and does not unbalance a bedside table.
Where to use it
At home
Laid along a headboard or a desk, a metre of woven nylon keeps the phone within reach without pulling on the wall plug. The white colour matches light-coloured sockets and extension leads.
On the road and at work
In a suitcase, a laptop bag or a weekend bag, the cable takes very little room. A sales rep, a teacher or a travelling technician can leave one in each bag and never set off without a charging lead.
Construction
According to the data sheet, the sheath is woven nylon, a material that stands apart from a plain smooth coating through its textile texture. The length is 1 m and the mass 20 g. No information is given on power, transfer speed or service life, so nothing can be claimed on those points.
Putting it to work
- Locate the USB port of your charger or computer.
- Plug in the matching connector, then the Lightning end into the device.
- Check the charging display and lay the cable without stretching it.
If you use a thick case, check that the plug goes fully into the socket.

Tips for choosing well
One metre is the most common length for a fixed workstation. Before buying, measure the distance between your socket and the spot where you use the phone, counting any detours behind furniture. If you travel often, focus on the weight of 20 g and the textile sheath, which stows without forming stiff loops. For shared use, for example in a guest room, the white colour is easy to spot. Finally, remember that the data sheet states no power rating: charging speed will depend on your charger and your device.
Safety
Always unplug by holding the plug, never the cord. Do not exceed the limits of the device and the source, and keep the cable away from heat, liquids and sharp edges. A light colour shows dirt quickly; if the sheath frays or a wire shows, stop using it.
Care and storage
A barely damp cloth removes marks from the nylon; dry thoroughly before plugging in again. To store it, wind it in a loose loop around your hand and slip it into a pouch. Avoid bending it sharply near the connectors, since that is where the sheath works hardest.
