This product is discontinued. The X Cable magnetic Micro USB charging cable is no longer sold by PortPlugs. This article remains online as a historical overview of how the product worked.
For current device care products, see our Micro USB dust plugs, USB C dust plugs and charging port cleaning tools.
How the X Cable worked
The X Cable used a magnetic Micro USB adapter that remained in the device port and connected to the charging cable magnetically. When the cable was removed, the adapter also covered the port opening.
The design was intended to reduce repeated insertion and removal of a traditional Micro USB connector while helping keep dust and debris out of the unused port. Compatibility depended on the device and case design.
Product details from the original listing
The original X Cable included a magnetic Micro USB connector, an LED power indicator, support for charging and data transfer, and two charging adapters. It was designed for compatible phones, tablets and other Micro USB devices.
PortPlugs no longer sells the X Cable. For current charging port protection, shop our Micro USB dust plugs or USB C dust plugs.
