Key Points:
- FOMA** was Japan’s first 3G service, launched by **NTT DoCoMo** in 2001.
- A **FOMA cable** typically refers to a **USB data cable** or **charging cable** specifically made for **FOMA-compatible phones**.
- These cables were used to:
- Transfer data (contacts, messages, media) between the phone and a PC.
- Charge the phone using USB power.
- Sometimes connect to accessories like modems or external antennas
Physical Connector:
FOMA phones used **proprietary connectors**, so a FOMA cable had a special plug on one end (for the phone) and usually USB-A on the other (for PC or charger). These connectors were often wide and flat with multiple pins—not standard micro-USB or USB-C.
