Perfect Baby Monitor cord
on August 9, 2024
Posted by: D.S.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cord saved me from straining to see my baby monitor when I heard my twins cry in the middle of the night. Having the extra meter of length beyond what came with my monitor allows me to calmly bring my monitor to me instead of having to go to the monitor. I love how durable the braided cord is. Even the cord minder is a high quality elastic that is easy to fasten.

Great quality and design

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loving my new Staples Micro USB to USB-A charging cable. I’ve been using it to charge portable speakers and PlayStation controllers. The braided cord seems sturdy which I appreciate since my children are often the ones pulling on the cord to release their electronic devices. The cable also charges things quickly so we can get back to having fun fast! I like that there is an attached wrap to keep the cord neatly tucked when not in use. I am not a fan of tangled cords or a mess of cords everywhere. Overall I’m happy with the product. I do wish it came with a charging block so I could have the option of plugging it into a wall socket but I still recommend the product overall. The length of the cord is great - longer than the standard cord that comes with electronic devices. It’s useful for tucking our devices out of the way while still being able to charge them!

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.

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.

Sturdy cord gets the job done
on August 8, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Staples micro-USBA cable gets the job done - the braided wire is extra sturdy and has held up well. It's long enough to to connect from desk bedside and more. I like the built in cable organizer so I can roll it up when not in use. This cord has definitely replaced other flimsy cords in my arsenal. It is longer than other cords so takes up more room in my bag but it's easier to find and doesn't get lost. Overall it's a good work horse for charging and data transfer needs.

A great charger at an exceptional price! I left my charger in another state while traveling and this fits my blue tooth plantanics ear piece.

Reaches 6 ft. So that's good. Signal goes through. So that's good too. Nice black color. Goes well with everything easy to accessorize. Actually the braided cable seems pretty cool.
