Samsung Galaxy Tab dock cable
This 6.56 ft cable connects a Samsung Galaxy Tab dock connector to a standard USB port for charging and data synchronisation. The extended length suits desks, nightstands or vehicle mounts where the power source is farther from the device. Nickel-plated contacts and a PVC jacket with aluminium-Mylar foil plus braid shielding protect the signal over the full run. It is built for owners of compatible Galaxy Tab models that use the proprietary dock interface.
USB 2.0 speed and power ceiling
The wire uses 26/28 AWG conductors, which limits the link to USB 2.0 signalling rates and the corresponding current-carrying capacity. Longer runs at this gauge increase voltage drop, so the cable is intended for typical charging and sync tasks rather than high-current fast-charging schemes. No active electronics are present to boost or regulate the supply. Users should expect standard USB 2.0 performance within the 6.56 ft distance.
Replaces shorter or damaged OEM cables
The product substitutes a lost, frayed or too-short factory cable that came with the tablet. The jump is worthwhile when the original lead cannot reach a wall adapter, car charger or laptop port in the desired location. It does not add new protocols, increase transfer bandwidth or enable charging standards beyond what the tablet and host port already support. Buyers needing a micro-USB, USB-C or Lightning connector for other devices cannot use this cable.

Questions about this item
Is the 6.56 ft length practical for charging my Samsung Galaxy Tab at a desk?
At 6.56 ft the cable reaches from a wall outlet across a standard desk without pulling tight, leaving slack for comfortable use while the tablet charges.
What does the 26/28 AWG wire gauge mean for charging speed?
The 26 AWG power conductors handle the current Samsung Galaxy Tab chargers deliver, while the 28 AWG data lines support USB 2.0 sync rates without voltage drop over the full length.
Does the nickel-plated dock connector resist corrosion from daily plugging?
Nickel plating on the dock connector withstands repeated insertion cycles and resists oxidation, keeping the connection reliable for daily charge-and-sync sessions.
