The O.MG Cable (USB-A to USB-C) is a USB cable developed by O.MG and distributed through specialist cybersecurity retailers. Externally, it functions as a standard USB-A to USB-C charging and data cable. Internally, it contains embedded electronics that allow the cable to be used as a research platform for authorised cybersecurity testing and security awareness demonstrations.
The cable is intended for use by cybersecurity professionals, researchers, and educators conducting authorised assessments of organisational security controls and USB device trust models. It supports firmware updates and configuration through the manufacturer's software ecosystem and is designed for use only in environments where the user has explicit permission to perform security testing.
The device is commonly used in cybersecurity training, research laboratories, and authorised penetration testing engagements to evaluate defensive controls and increase awareness of hardware-based security risks.
