The UUSBHAUB6LA cable features a standard USB Type-A male connector on one end and a left-angled USB Micro-B male connector on the other. This design is ideal for connecting devices in tight spaces or for managing cable routing more efficiently.

4. Setup and Connection

1. Identify Ports: Locate the USB Type-A port on your computer, wall charger, or power adapter. Identify the Micro-B port on your compatible device (e.g., smartphone, tablet, camera).
2. Connect USB-A: Insert the standard USB Type-A connector of the cable into the USB Type-A port on your host device or power source.
3. Connect Micro-B: Carefully insert the left-angle USB Micro-B connector into the Micro-B port on your peripheral device. Ensure the connector is oriented correctly to avoid damage. The left-angle design will direct the cable away from the device's body, which can be beneficial for handheld use or tight installations.
4. Verify Connection: Confirm that both ends of the cable are securely connected. For charging, your device should indicate that it is receiving power. For data transfer, your computer should recognize the connected device.

5. Operating Instructions

Once connected, the cable facilitates two primary functions:

5.1. Charging Devices

• Connect the USB Type-A end to a USB wall charger, car charger, or a powered USB port on a computer.
• Connect the Micro-B end to your compatible device.
• The device will begin charging. Charging speed may vary depending on the power source and the device's charging capabilities.

5.2. Data Transfer

• Connect the USB Type-A end to a USB port on your computer.
• Connect the Micro-B end to your compatible device.
• Your computer should recognize the connected device as a storage device or allow access to its files, depending on the device type and its settings.
• Follow your device's instructions for enabling data transfer mode if it does not automatically connect.

6. Maintenance and Care

• Storage: Store the cable in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Handling: Avoid sharp bends, kinks, or excessive pulling on the cable, especially near the connectors, to prevent internal wire damage.
• Cleaning: If necessary, gently wipe the cable and connectors with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.

• Verify Power Source: Confirm that the USB power source (e.g., wall adapter, computer USB port) is functional and providing power. Try a different power source if available.
• Test with Another Cable: If possible, test your device with a different, known-good USB Micro-B cable to rule out an issue with the device's charging port.
• Inspect Cable: Visually inspect the cable for any signs of damage, such as cuts, kinks, or bent pins on the connectors.

7.2. No Data Transfer
