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.

6ft Enterprise grade USB to Micro Cable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very impressed with the quality of this cable. It is not rubber like most but rather wrapped/braided in what seems to be a tactical fabric. It's a very sturdy cable yet very flexible and while not having had it for longer than a week I can tell will stand the test of time (and abuse). The included rubber cable loop was a nice touch to keep my desk calendar tidy and organized. The length 6 feet long (2 meters) is terrific! I had it plugged into my gaming computer well away from my desk while still having my mp3 player on my desk transferring music. The length is great honestly perhaps the best part of this cable. I also used a wall outlet and charged a wireless mouse. Both uses I had no issues with. Data transfer speeds for sending mp3 files to my player was completed swiftly well into the 100mbit/sec+ we expect from USB or better...I didn't actually use a file transfer program to get metrics. But I transferred an entire CD rip in about 30 seconds no concerns here!

A great cable I am confident will hold up well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As someone who has a tendency to buy cheap cables far too frequently I was really impressed at how durable this cable felt as soon as I opened it. It doesn’t have loose plugs it feels secure the braided texture makes me think this cable will hold up for a long time. I like the clip it comes with. It doesn’t feel cheap at all.

Awesome cable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoyed the speed that this charges and transfers. The construction is well built and it isn’t deformed by coiling. The ends feel sturdy and not likely to break off with normal wear and tear. It will be my new favorite charging and transfer cord.

Great cord for cars

[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.

Great durable charger
on August 9, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The quality of this cable feels nice and strong. It is braided so it will not fray. Everything is connected strongly. I have tried other cables that just felt flimsy. I used this in my bathroom to charge my electric razor. When using other cords I always thought the razor was charged when its light went green. After using this cable my razor light turned blue! I had no idea I wasn’t fulling charging it before with other cables. This was fast good quality and charges to things full capabilities! It’s also a good length. With this being 6 feet I can move about and I don’t feel tied down to the outlet. I will keep using this and recommend it!

Practical and high quality cord

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don’t have a ton of use for a type A cord but any time I need one it seems all I can find are the short cheap quality cords that have been included with certain toys or gadgets throughout the years. The staples braided cord is good quality and I appreciate the long length. Perfect for quickly charging my computer’s wireless keyboard and mouse or any of the kids’ toys that require charging. The 6.5 foot length is great to leave plugged in to my charging block to use whenever and wherever it is needed.

Well Designed Cable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Staples Cable_Micro USB to USB-A 2.0 Braided Cable is a very good charging cord. I used it to charge both a PS5 controller and my Kindle. It worked great! The Kindle went from 0% battery life to 100% in just a little over 2 hours. It has a nice little rubber securing band to keep the cord wrapped when not in use that makes it easier to transport and store without it getting all tangled up. It also has a nice long section of hard plastic protecting both ends which I think will extend the life of the cord by protecting those weaker areas from being over bent and fraying like most cords do in time. It is long enough to easily reach from normal table top height to outlet height with room to spare. The braided covering is also a nice touch. It gives it a very nice feel and protective covering. I think it is very well designed and would recommend it if you need anything that uses Micro USB.
