A:AnswerI purchased this cord for our Ipod touch. Our device is a few years old so I'm guessing that if your device was made around the same time as the Ipof touch this cord will be compatible.
A:AnswerIf your iPod uses a 30-pin connector - yes, it will charge your iPod.
The Insignia 30 pin cable works great. No need to search for another brand. Just buy this cable now.
Apple only make 3 cables for it's products:
1). 30-pin connector (1st generation cable).
2). Lightening cable (2nd generation cable).
3). USB-C cable (3rd generation & current cable).
