What type of USB cable does the iPhone 5 use?

What type of USB cable does the iPhone 5 use? I know apple calls it 'lightning' but us that their brand name for it? I'm looking for a generic one and I know it's not a micro USB like my Motorola cell uses.

it is a unique Apple design, there are "generic" versions in as far as other manufacturers have licensed the technology and produce Approved copies

Use of unlicensed cheap copies will most likely produce the non supported message on your device
