The Power Boost Cable is a specialized USB power cable designed to provide extra current and voltage stability for high-demand devices. It’s commonly used in situations where standard USB ports cannot supply sufficient power—such as powering external hard drives, Raspberry Pi boards, or high-draw USB accessories. With built-in signal amplification or dual USB inputs (depending on variant), this cable ensures more consistent power delivery and performance.
Key Features:
-
Boosts USB power output for devices that require higher current
