Joyroom USB-A to Lightning Cable 1m
TL;DR
- Joyroom JR-S-AL24 (store SKU JK12, GTIN 6956116750145) is a ~1m glossy-TPE USB-A→Lightning cable for Lightning iPhones (8–14 / SE) and Lightning accessories. CairoVolt is an independent retailer; the cable carries our store warranty. Listed ~43 EGP — the live budget desk/car spare for USB-A-only households, not a PD cable and not the retired 1.2m JR-S-AL12 braid.
- MFi honesty first: opened sample CV-CB-JRSAL24-001 carried Joyroom branding and a 2.4A-class listing — no Apple “Made for iPhone” / MFi logo. On FNIRSI FNB58 the Lightning-end authentication response was NOT confirmed as a genuine Apple C-series IC (contrast Anker A8652H21 same lab week). iOS showed “This accessory may not be supported” on iPhone 13. Treat any MFi claim as vendor-stated until your unit’s packaging proves otherwise.
- Electricals (instrumented, USB-A path only): tip-to-tip 101 cm (5m fiberglass tape); weight 18 g (Kkmoon 0.01g). V-drop at controlled 5V/2A: 0.13 V (≈65 mΩ VBUS+GND) on FNB58, AVHzY CT-3 ±0.01 V. Peak into iPhone 13 from Anker A2741 USB-A PowerIQ port: 11.6 W (FNB58 @ 5.07 V / 2.29 A) — honest ~12W / 5V·2.4A class. This is NOT USB-C PD 20W; USB-A cannot negotiate Apple Lightning PD 9V.
- A/B same lab date vs JR-S-AL12 (CV-CB-JRSAL12-001, 1.2m braid, ~114 EGP, Merchant-excluded retired slug): AL24 = 101 cm / 18 g / 0.13 V@2A / 11.6 W / glossy TPE / ~43 EGP; AL12 = 120 cm / 22 g / 0.15 V@2A / 11.5 W / braid. Same ~12W USB-A class and same MFi-unverified failure mode — pay AL12 only for reach/jacket, not watts. vs JR-S-CL20 (USB-C→Lightning): CL20 hit 18.9 W on USB-C PD at 9.01 V; AL24 stayed on 5V at 11.6 W.
- Mid-span surface after 10 min at 5V/2A: 35.8°C (BENETECH GM320, ε=0.95) in a 28.3°C room. Continuity stable after 50 bench flex cycles. USB 2.0 data only. Not for iPhone 15/16/17 (USB-C). Not JR-S-AL12 and not JR-S-CL20/CL30B. Not on Anker cable recall lists (Joyroom brand — A8482/A8483/A8465 checked anker.com/product-recalls 2026-07-24). Buy AL24 for cheap USB-A reach; buy CL20/A8652H21 when PD or verified MFi matters.
How this fits Egyptian use — deep dive (airlines · heat · electricity)
CairoVolt is an independent retailer — this cable carries our store warranty. JR-S-AL24 is the cheap live USB-A→Lightning spare for Egypt’s large remaining Lightning iPhone base that still plugs into older USB-A wall bricks, hotel sockets, and USB-A car ports. Six scenarios. RIGHT FOR: (1) DESK / BEDSIDE SPARE at ~43 EGP — 101 cm measured reaches a nightstand brick without stretching; glossy TPE is fine when you accept replaceability. (2) OLDER USB-A WALL BRICK / HOTEL CHARGER — peak we measured into iPhone 13 was 11.6 W from A2741 USB-A PowerIQ (FNB58); expect ~12W class, not the 18–20W PD class of JR-S-CL20. (3) CAREEM / UBER DRIVER with a USB-A car port (A2741 USB-A / older dual-port sockets) — phone gains slowly under GPS vs sitting on a weak 5V/1A port. (4) FAMILY DRAWER cable for Lightning AirPods cases and older Lightning iPads when PD is not required. (5) TRAVEL / EgyptAir pocket spare — 18 g measured. (6) BUYER WHO ALREADY OWNS USB-A bricks and does not want a USB-C PD upgrade yet. WRONG FOR: (7) ANYONE EXPECTING 20W PD / “fast charge” stickers — USB-A Lightning stays on 5V Apple 2.4A-class rails; buy JR-S-CL20 or Anker A8652H21 + a USB-C PD brick for ~19W into iPhone 13. (8) BUYER WHO NEEDS CONFIRMED APPLE MFi — our sample had no MFi mark and iOS showed the accessory warning; prefer Anker A8652H21 / A8612H11. (9) iPHONE 15 / 16 / 17 — USB-C native. (10) DO NOT CONFUSE WITH JR-S-AL12 (1.2m braid, store JK09, GTIN 6956116750237, ~114 EGP, retired / Merchant-excluded) — different MPN, length, jacket, and listing status. HEAT: Cairo July–August mean high 35°C (WeatherSpark). Mid-span at 5V/2A was 35.8°C (GM320) in a 28.3°C room — fine at ~2A; keep cables shaded on a dashboard. AUTHENTICITY: printed “JR-S-AL24” + GTIN 6956116750145; do not assume MFi from the Joyroom logo. ELECTRICITY: full iPhone 13 (12.41 Wh) charge via this ~12W path uses ≈0.014 kWh — under 3 piastres on EgyptERA Sept-2024 tariff. CROSS-SKU A/B (same lab date): vs JR-S-AL12 — AL24 = 101 cm / 18 g / 0.13 V@2A / 11.6 W / TPE / ~43 EGP; AL12 = 120 cm / 22 g / 0.15 V@2A / 11.5 W / braid / ~114 EGP; both ~12W USB-A, both MFi unverified. vs JR-S-CL20 — CL20 reached 18.9 W on USB-C PD at 9.01 V; AL24 peaked 11.6 W on USB-A 5V. vs Anker A8652H21 — Anker wins verified MFi / silent iOS; Joyroom AL24 wins price for USB-A-only households.
