I bought the cable to connect a 5v battery to the Raspberry Pi. It worked.

It indeed makes everything nice and tidy without GPIO cables poking out, but it doesn't give enough current through screen. Constant under voltage symbols even on idle and unstability. 2,5A official PSU > 7" screen > this usb cable > RPI3 draws 5,1V 0,7-0,86A on idle and 0,86A on 100% cpu load. Constant under voltage symbol. 2,5A official PSU > RPI3 > GPIO out > 7" screen draws 5,17V 0,67A idle and 5,1V 1,1A on 100% cpu load. No under voltage symbol even on 100% cpu.

It works great with the Official Raspberry Screen, ONLY if used with an "open" casing as a "closed" one would not allow its usage : however it can also be used to power a Pi from a portable battery thus having a very short cable. I defenetly recommend it !

Nice add-on to my pi & display combo, no more ugly & long cables. No more risk of puling out your cables and having to figure out which pins they needed to be attached.

Perfect size for the official LCD screen. A little easier than other cables to plug/unplug with the Pi attached.

This cable is very useful and permits to power the RPi directly from the screen.

I hooked up a number of Raspberry Pi Zeros to a USB hub, and this made the cabling so much less of a burden.
