Import Supported Photos and Videos Between Lightning Devices
A compact directional OTG cable designed for direct data import between compatible Lightning-equipped iPhone and iPad devices. The marked Host connector identifies the device that initiates the supported import workflow.
Connect Two Lightning Devices Without a Computer
The cable is designed for compatible point-to-point import workflows, such as reading supported photos and videos from one unlocked Lightning device through the Photos application on another device.
No Computer Required for Supported Imports
Connect the two compatible Lightning devices directly instead of first copying supported media to a computer.
Up to 480Mbps Theoretical Link Rate
The page lists USB 2.0 data support up to 480Mbps. Real transfer speed depends on both devices, the operating system, media size, storage performance, and the application.
Clearly Marked Host End
One connector is labeled “Host” to identify the device that initiates and controls the supported import process.
Approximately 1ft Long
The short cable reduces excess length when two phones or tablets are placed beside each other during a supported import.
Connect the Host End to the Importing Device
The product compatibility image shows the Host device reading supported media from the Client device. Follow the steps below for the demonstrated Photos app workflow.
Do Not Confuse Data Import with Full Device Migration
The current page demonstrates supported photo and video import. It does not establish transfer of every application, account, password, message, device setting, eSIM, or complete operating-system backup.
Both Connected Devices Need a Lightning Port
The page lists selected Lightning-equipped iPhone and iPad models on both the Host and Client sides.
Compatibility also depends on iOS or iPadOS behavior, device trust settings, application support, media format, and available storage.
Specifications
Important Notes
- This cable is directional. Connect the marked Host end to the device that will initiate the supported import.
- The current page’s written copy and compatibility image use conflicting source/destination wording. If the import interface does not appear, disconnect the cable, swap the two device ends, and try again.
- The product page lists the cable as both 1ft/30cm and 1ft/30cm in different locations. This description therefore uses the conservative wording “approximately 1ft.”
- The 480Mbps figure is the maximum listed USB 2.0 link rate, not a guaranteed real-world file-transfer speed.
- The cable supports data only and does not support charging or audio.
- Do not advertise this cable as a complete iPhone migration solution unless apps, settings, messages, passwords, accounts, and other data types have been separately verified.
- Both connected devices must have compatible Lightning ports and supported software behavior.
Highlights explained
Connector layout
Lightning → Lightning
This product uses Lightning → Lightning connections. Match the plug, socket and required function to your equipment; connector shape alone does not establish charging, data, audio or video support.
Interface bandwidth
480Mbps
The listed interface rate is up to 480Mbps. Actual file-copy speed depends on both devices, the cable, storage, software and file sizes; interface bandwidth is not a guaranteed transfer speed.
Data-only design
Directional media cable
This Directional media cable is for the stated data-transfer workflow, not phone charging or headphone audio. Connect the host and target as described and use a supported transfer application.
Cable length
About 1ft
The listed About 1ft length helps you position the connected devices without relying on an unsuitable extension. Choose a length that suits the distance between the source and accessory.
Practical use
Supported photo and video imports between Lightning devices
Use the product for Supported photo and video imports between Lightning devices, with compatible equipment and the specified connection. Plan the space, power source and accessories needed for that task before ordering.
