The MicroUSB connector has a max rating of 1.8A, and a lot of MicroUSB leads are pretty wimpy (wires too thin, poor conductivity contacts) , and will not provide the Pine64 with the necessary power when it is loaded up, leading to file corruption, random brownouts, reboots, etc. This cable plugs into the euler bus, and powers the pine64 via the power pins there.
And the USB Plugs into....?
An appropriately rated power supply (with female USB connector).
