Yesterday, we told you about the Umbrella USB adapter that protected your mobile device from malware and data grabs when charging your device at public charging stations. Β The Bench 2X Faster microUSB Charging Data Cable can perform that same function; you just slide a switch on the side of the cable to put the cable in charge-only mode. Β Not only does this mode protect your device from unwanted data exchange, but it claims to charge your device much faster than a standard charge/sync cable can β Β up to 2000 mAh. Β They say that some of the power coming through the cable is devoted to the sync functions, which is why charging is slowed. Β By switching off the sync functions, your device will charge much faster when plugged into your computer or your carβs USB charging port. Β The Bench 2X Faster microUSB Charging Data Cable is $14.99 at Pyramid Distribution.
