- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=CE04761:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/CE04761:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

Don't be fooled by the appearance of this cable, it's not just a regular micro USB cable, but a USB OTG (On the Go) adapter. With it you can connect a mouse, keyboard, or other standard USB device to a USB OTG port, like that on the Pi Zero/W.

The Pi Zero/W has two microUSB ports, one for power, and the other one is an OTG port which saves space and allows normal USB devices to be connected using this cable. It's perfectly designed for the Pi Zero, but if you're using it with anything, make sure the device is compatible as this cable doesn't contain any active circuitry, it only provides the physical adapter.

**Tech Specs:**

- Approximately 15cm including the connectors.
