Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Belkin BoostCharge USB-A to USB-C Cable, follow these maintenance guidelines:

Avoid Extreme Bending: While durable, excessive or sharp bending, especially near the connectors, can damage internal wires.
Store Properly: When not in use, coil the cable loosely. Avoid tightly wrapping or knotting the cable.
Keep Clean: Periodically wipe the cable and connectors with a dry, soft cloth to remove dust and debris. Do not use liquid cleaners directly on the connectors.
Handle with Care: Always grasp the connector head when plugging or unplugging the cable, rather than pulling on the cable itself.
