A FOMA cable refers to a data or charging cable designed for use with FOMA (Freedom of Mobile Multimedia Access) mobile phones, which were part of NTT DoCoMo's 3G network in Japan.

Key Points:

• FOMA was Japan's first 3G service, launched by NTT DoCoMo in 2001.
• A FOMA cable typically refers to a USB data cable or charging cable specifically made for FOMA-compatible phones.
• These cables were used to:
• Transfer data (contacts, messages, media) between the phone and a PC.
• Charge the phone using USB power.
• Sometimes connect to accessories like modems or external antennas

Physical Connector:

FOMA phones used proprietary connectors, so a FOMA cable had a special plug on one end (for the phone) and usually USB-A on the other (for PC or charger). These connectors were often wide and flat with multiple pins—not standard micro-USB or USB-C.
