Abstract
A selectable USB charging cable which may have a switch configured to permissively control the transmission of an electrical current between two internet connected, or electronically powered, devices. By use of the reversibly selectable switch, a user of the charging cable may select an on configuration or an off configuration of the switch. The switch may reversibly stop the transmission of the electrical current between two electronically powered devices by use of a permissible selection between the on configuration and off configuration of the switch. The electrical current stopped by the switch may correspond to data transmission or power transmission to or from an electronically powered device.
