    The lightning to USB camera adapter cable doesn't provide output power. It only transfers the pic files from the camera. The camera's battery provides the power to operate the camera during this operation.

     

    The lightning to USB cable is used to charge the iPad and the charger is rated at 10 or 12Watts of 5V power. So this cable carries 2+ Amps.

     

    Why are you concerned?
