Great cord for cars
on August 9, 2024
Posted by: L.A.
from Langhorne
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought our car a few years ago and it does not have USB-C ports just regular USB-A. So sometimes for our Apple iPads newer iPhone or other Android devices to find a cord that has the USB-C is hard unless it’s a direct plug. Our car has one AV outlet so we can be limited in charging devices on road trips (typically my laptop will take priority). This cable gives us the option to charge our other devices in the car. It’s long so it stretches from the center console to the captains chairs and even the third row if necessary. The re-enforced braiding is helpful too for my kids and all the rough pulling that happens in the car. I’m not 100% sure on the charging speed as we used it in the car and the charge is typically slow in general. Overall it’s a great solution for our car trips and good quality.

Worked great and fast charging

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This worked just as intended. I used it to charge my point and shoot cameras and they charged quickly with no problems. I can't really comment on the length as I didn't really need a lot of length but can say it's probably an upside to have the additional flexibility. Seemed to be made well and will hold up for quite a while.

Durable for charging
on August 11, 2024

from Prairie Village
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This USB to USB-A cable has checked all of the boxes of what I was looking for in this particular product. The braided cable design allows for durability which is necessary as I use it for multiple electronics. The length of the cable has been useful so that I can continue to read as my e-reader charges. I have used it primarily for charging and it has absolutely served its purpose. Overall I am happy with the performance of this product and would recommend it to anyone looking for a durable and quality USB to USB-A cable.

Reliable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cable is solid! The build quality feels durable and the design is sleek. The data transfer speeds were fast which was great for quickly moving files between my phone and computer. The 6.5 ft length is perfect no more struggling with short cables. My favorite thing about it is the versatility; I used it to charge my Android devices and connect other gadgets without any issues. Overall it’s a great reliable cable that’s worth it.

Fine cable for older tech
on August 9, 2024
Posted by: MrsPVW
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let's start with the obvious: the connections on this cable are becoming obsolete. While there are still older devices with an extended lifespan (e.g. my bike's front and tail lights) that use Micro USB there are fewer and fewer places to plug in a USB-A. My laptop doesn't support USB-A (USB-C only) and all of my wall charging plugs are USB-C. I do have a USB-A to USB-C converter for older cords but USB-C does seem to be the way of the future. On the packaging itself I wish it were a little more eco-friendly. Since the cable wasn't going to be damaged in transit it felt excessive to have it in a plastic shell and then in a cardboard box – especially since I couldn't find a recycling symbol on the plastic. Out of the packaging I liked that the cord was braided. It felt like it wouldn't immediately split the cord from the connection point as often happens with regular plastic cables. I also felt like a braided cord would be less likely to get grubby – those white plastic ones look gross very quickly. Since I used the cable for charging devices I can't speak to data transfer speeds but my devices did seem to charge speedily enough. I am normally charging devices plugged into a dock at my desk the cord length did seem excessive. If you had a device that you needed to actively use while charging separately from your computer I can see the longer length being nice but for my uses I mostly kept it coiled up using the provided holder. A standout feature: the little rubberized cord wrangler that came with the cord. I wish more cords came with an easy way to keep the cords coiled up and out of the way. If the cord is long it is nice to be able to keep it tidy when not in use.

USB worked beautifully! My wife is thrilled that her reading light is so bright when plugged in. She's going to take the light and USB to a knitting weekend so she can see all her mistakes!!

Standard USB Cable With A Couple Nice Features
on August 10, 2024
Posted by: M.V.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great USB cable- nothing flashy and just as fast as any other quality cable. I had no issues with data transfer speeds. I also used it for charging power bricks a lamp and a desktop robot with no issues in terms of charging speeds. The cable does have two features that set it apart: the built-in strap makes storage much easier and reinforced sleeves around the plug areas that typically wear out will insure it lasts a long time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cable felt very sturdy at the connection point which is where I usually see problems in others so I think it will hold up well. I didn't transfer any data with it but used it to charge my device and it worked quickly. Definitely like the length. It made it easy to charge while I used my device.
