 Instead the **WP12** is rated as **[[wp>IP_code|IP68]]**, i.e. it should be **dust-proof** and it should resist even to **immersion into water** at 1 meter depth. However, the water resistance of the WP12 is ensured by **a rubber flap protecting the power connector**, so it is not possible to keep the smartphone charging when it rains. Instead the **WP12** is rated as **[[wp>IP_code|IP68]]**, i.e. it should be **dust-proof** and it should resist even to **immersion into water** at 1 meter depth.

 To keep the ZTE permanently connected to the **charging cable**, I purchased a **micro-USB magnetic adapter** (specifically a **NetDot 10th Gen**). The magnetic adapter is quite convenient to plug/unplug the power connector even wearing gloves and it prevents damages if you inadvertently pull the cable. To keep the ZTE permanently connected to the **charging cable**, I purchased a **micro-USB magnetic adapter** (specifically a **NetDot 10th Gen**).

 In the photo above you can see two adapters: one fitted into the phone connector and the one that I carry with me as a **spare part**. I used just a bit of silicone adhesive to make the plug more stable and to prevent dust from entering. It turned out that the magnetic coupling is quite **strong and stable** to resist to vibrations and wind. You must pay attention to avoid dust into the electric contacts, which are rather delicate and can actract **ferromagnetic dust**. In the photo above you can see two adapters: one fitted into the phone connector and the one that I carry with me as a **spare part**.
