Lightning fast charger
on August 10, 2024
Posted by: H.P.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This charger is a sleek design made with good material and a nice silicon attachment that you can wrap up the cord and keep in a tidy loop. I tried this out with a few different electronic devices and it charged it 50% faster than the cords that they came with which ultimately is the decision maker for me when purchasing charging cords. There is so many options but this braided cord from Staples is my go to grab for my electronic needs. It has a nice length that is long enough to reach across my car if I need it to.

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.

Great cable
on August 10, 2024
Posted by: A.H.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cable is wonderful! We use it to charge a power bank and headphones because the cable they came with are far too short. The cable wrap that came attached is awesome and keeps it organized when we have it plugged into a nearby outlet. I love that it’s braided because it feels more secure and looks nicer than the regular style. Overall it’s a great cable and worked as intended and I have no complaints.

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
on August 9, 2024

[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!

6ft Enterprise grade USB to Micro Cable
on August 9, 2024

from Metamora
[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!

Awesome cable
on August 9, 2024
Posted by: Kylie
from Castle Rock
[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.

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.
