Provided the source port you're plugging into is properly powered and it's not over 20 feet, you should be able to charge and use this as a data extension cable. If it's for data use and over that distance, you'll want a cable that has a repeater.

Dude, a USB is a USB, is a USB. It is manufactured to specification laid down by ANSI, IEEE et-al. The only difference between any cabling is the materials used. In "laboratory" testing they all meat spec.The only difference between Apple and other equipment is the button presses to make it go and Apple's proprietary nature.BTW all transmission lines have a length component to their spec.

Mine did not come with the newer generation iPhone lightning cables but the ports are standard USB 2.0 so as long as you have your own usb cables it will charge any device type

It didn't seem to work with most cases we had in the house on ipod 3s and iphone 4s. we worked around this buying the cheap extenders and (ahem) hot gluing them to the charging dock. This also prevented wear on the connectors on the charger and the extenders can be replaced. We are still using this charger a year in for kids ipods.

It will extend the original cord from your iPhone 5s to you computer. This is. USB to USB cord

This is the cable only. The other piece of the equation is a unit that is plugged into an electric outlet to accept the usb end of this cable. The other end of third lightening cable gets plugged into the phone, of course. So I would say no to your question. Usually new iPhones include both the cable and the charger. Maybe he lost his. There are "generic" usb chargers (not specifically made by Apple) but you have to watch the specs as they may not charge the phone as rapidly as the Apple spec'd chargers. Just search on Amazon for iphone chargers. He may want the cable too, not sure from your question, so I would get both. The are not expensive. This is the cable only.

I charge an iPhone 5s with a Mophie case and an iPad 3 simultaneously with this charger. The only issue I've had is when I use cheap cables I sometimes get a message regarding compatibility. I'm thinking those cable may not be able to handle the amperage.

Hi, Yes this will charge an iPhone 5 as long as you are using an officially licensed cable Apple cable.

Vority Duo31CC car charger can charge my iPhone 5S with apple lightning cable, I have a fake cable which can used to charge iPhone 5 but not compatible with the new iPhone 5S. So in order to charge iPhone 5S, you need to have a good cable. I don't have an iPhone 5C but I think the Vority car charger can charge it same with iPhone 5S with no problem at all.

No and there is no way to make it work. people are saying get adapters but there are no official adapters for this. All adapters go from a 30-pin cable to a lightning port. if you see the reverse its a Chinese knockoff and avoid it!

I use this with my iPhone 5S running iOS 7.04 and it works perfectly fine. I use it with the Scosche USBC202M Dual 10 Watt (2.1A) USB Car Charger - works with iPhone 5, 5S and 5C. I hope this helps.

Yes you can, given the cable has the appropriate end for your apple device. In fact if you only charge that one device, it will charge quick because it will get the full Un divided extra punch this charger has.

The charger will work but the supplied cable will not. You'll need to use your existing USB to 30pin iPhone cable (or purchase a second one). The cable this charger comes with is a USB to lightning cable.

Anything with a Lightning or MicroUSB connector needs no additional cable. (Recent iPhone, iPad, Android) You can also charge any device which has a USB charge cable. (Older iPad or iPhone with cable, etc.)

Yes, it will charge the iphone 5s if you buy it with the Lightning cable. There are two purchase options for this charger on Amazon, do not buy the 30 pin as that is for older model iphones. I bought Belkin cables for my iphone 4 and they were great. Heavy duty commercial grade. And they charge your device fast.

Actually with the new apple software they have made non apple cables and chargers non functioning. Some still work but I wouldn't take that chance. My husbands iphone 4 didn't work w this accessory at all. It had to be a 4s

There's no reason why not so long as you have the right cable which would be a separate purchase.3/18/14 update: It seems the iPhone 5s requires a 2.1 amp charger. This 1 amp charger may charge your phone slowly or not at all. I'd keep looking.

There are two models of this - depending on which Amazon product / site you're looking at. The one marked "5S/5C/5" DOES come with the new Lightning connector. You might already have an earlier wire (Apple's or another manufacturer's), which should also work with the charger's base.
