BUYING GUIDE:

To help you make the right choice and find a micro-USB cable that meets your needs, it is necessary to carry out research on essential criteria:

• Transfer capacity : some USB cables, often white in color, only allow devices to be recharged. We made sure to choose only models capable of both charging and transferring data by connecting them to a computer.
• Shielding : this is an important criterion depending on where you want to install your cables. Shielding is recommended if your cable is entangled with others, or if they are subject to strong electromagnetic interference. Under normal use, it is not necessary.
