ST296 2-in-1 Smart Fast Charging Data Cable
Product Overview
The ST296 is an innovative 2-in-1 smart fast charging data cable, designed specifically for modern multi-device users. Through an intelligent modular interface design, it integrates two mainstream fast-charging solutions—Type-C to Type-C and Type-C to Lightning—into a single cable body. Combined with a three-layer composite material and precision structure, it delivers an all-scenario charging experience of "one cable, dual modes, smart switching." Whether for Apple devices or Android/Type-C devices, this single cable can meet fast charging and data transfer needs.

Built-in smart recognition chip automatically detects device type and matches the optimal charging protocol, no manual setup required.
Switching mechanism tested for 10,000 rotation cycles, with accurate positioning and clear tactile feedback.
One Cable for Dual-Platform Needs
A single cable is compatible with both Apple Lightning devices and Type-C interface devices, covering iPhone, iPad, MacBook, Android phones, Windows laptops, and more.
Only this cable is needed for business trips or travel, solving the charging needs of all electronic devices and completely eliminating the burden of multiple cables and adapters.
Supports up to 60W high-power output for fast charging of thin and light laptops.
Three-Layer Composite Reinforced Structure
Inner Layer: Highly elastic TPE buffer layer that effectively absorbs bending stress and protects internal wires.
Middle Layer: 48-strand twill braided layer providing excellent tensile strength and tangle resistance.
Outer Layer: Aluminum alloy CNC switching module with anodized surface treatment for wear and corrosion resistance.
Intelligent Safety Protection Mechanism
Built-in quadruple protection circuit against over-voltage, over-current, over-temperature, and short circuits.
Monitors charging status in real-time, automatically adjusting power or cutting off output in case of abnormalities.
Gold-plated connectors ensure low contact resistance, high charging efficiency, and minimal heat generation.
Use Cases
Daily charging management for users with both Apple and Android devices.
Lightweight electronic accessory solution for business travelers.
Multi-device shared charging in households, reducing cable clutter.
Ideal choice for clean and organized desktop cable management in offices.
Technical Features
Switching Module Lifespan: ≥10,000 rotation cycles
Maximum Continuous Current: 5A
Operating Temperature: -20°C to 60°C
Data Transfer Rate: USB 2.0 standard (480 Mbps)

Usage and Maintenance
When switching modes, rotate the module until a "click" sound indicates it is locked in place.
Avoid prolonged use of the switching function in humid or high-temperature environments.
For optimal 60W fast charging performance, use with a 65W or higher PD charger.
Regularly clean the metal contacts of the connectors to maintain good conductivity.
1
. What type of vacuum connector best suits your needs?Top-entry connectors and side-entry connectors are the two types of vacuum connections. The top entry connector is a connection that goes on top like how you would think it should, while the bottom one has to be inverted so as not to interfere with your hose’s suction when pulling out dust or debris from cracks around baseboards for example. Side entries come in handy if there isn’t enough space at either end of an opening because they can go along any edge and get into tight spaces without having to disassemble anything first!

. Does JST only manufacture cable connectors?No. JST also manufactures a series of memory connectors for computers, media, and telecommunications devices. For example, the SCZW series is what allows you to use a Nano SIM in your smartphone.
3
. What is the difference between JST-PH2 connectors and the JST PH 2-pin connectors?The PH series of JST connectors go by different names depending on the retailer. Here is an explanation on the naming of JST-PH2 connectors:
JST is the manufacturer’s name.
PH refers to one of the connector series that the manufacturer makes.
The number 2 is in reference to the pitch at which it connects to a PCB.
4
. Do you need a crimping tool for a JST SM connector?You do not need a crimping tool for the JST SM connector. Furthermore, it features a high contact pressure and secure lock mechanism that does not require you to use any tools to secure the contacts. Additionally, they are part of the JST series of disconnectable connectors.
5
. How best can you wire JST connectors?Tinning your wires will make it easier to attach the connector. You can use tweezers to handle the wire while soldering.
6
. What crimping tools are the best for JST connectors?You can always use the Knipex set of crimping tools to attach your JST connectors. They come in a variety of sizes allowing you to use all types of wires. Additionally, it works for both plug connectors male and female.
