Nokia Charging Connectivity Cable CA-70

This cable allows you to transfer data between your compatible computer and Nokia device and charge the device battery from the computer at the same time. With the cable, you can connect a Nokia device provided with a Pop-Port™ connector to a computer equipped with a compatible USB port. The functions available when using the cable depend on your Nokia device and the PC software that you use with it (for example, the Nokia PC Suite).

Data transfer speed

CA-70 supports the USB 2.0 specification. The actual data transfer speed achieved depends on the phone, used services and network properties.

Charging Compatibility

Terminals:

Phones and devices that have the Nokia 3.5mm charging connector are directly compatible with CA-70. A list of compatible Nokia terminals is available on the CA-70 Web page. Use the Nokia Charger Adapter CA-44 to charge phones and devices that have the smaller Nokia 2-mm charger connector.

Note that if the the charge level of the phone battery is very low, it may take several minutes before the terminal can power up.

Enhancements:

Enhancements that have the 3.5-mm charging connector are directly compatible with CA-70.Use the Nokia Charger Adapter CA-44 to charge enhancements that have the smaller 2-mm charger connector.

Charging Characteristics

Note that when charging mobile phones or enhancements from your portable computer the charger power is taken from the host device. If the computer runs on battery power, the battery use time is reduced. If your laptop is connected to an AC wall outlet, or you use a PC, the power required by the CA-70 is taken from the wall outlet and shoud cause no noticeble reduction in your computer operating time.

Do not attempt to charge from a PC or laptop powered USB hubs. The power required by the CA-70 may load the hub electronics and prevent data transfer.

Note that the charge current of the CA-70 is lower than that so some of the Nokia chargers. Therefore the charge time is longer that, for example, with the AC-1, AC-4 or ACP-12 charger or with the LCH-12 or DC-4 mobile charger.

If the cable is only used for a data connection, only the USB connector needs to be connected to the to the host and the PopPort connector needs to be connected to the phone. In this case, the phone battery will not be recharged and no additional discharge to the host battery.

Note:This cable just like dku-2 or ca-53 cable but support charging function.
