Durable for charging
on August 11, 2024
Posted by: Katnov
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.

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.

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.

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.

Great and Sturdy mini USB Cord
on August 10, 2024
Posted by: E.D.
from CHICAGO
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upon opening the box I could tell that the USB cord was a bit more sturdy at the connection parts than my current cords. I feel that my cords always fall apart at the place where to cord meets the actual port piece. This has a solid piece slightly bigger than other cords I have. I like the braided design of the cord it feels again sturdy like it is not going to get cut or fray after repeated use. It doesn't tangle easily. Also it has a really nice built-in rubber wrap piece that holds the cord together when not in use. I won't lose it and it's not velcro which get stuck on anything. So I need a UBS C to charge my phone but I was able to use an adapter piece to try out the charging speed. It was as fast if not faster than my other rapid-charging cords. One plus it's longer so that is always a plus. Right now though I am using it to keep a night light charged. It's a fast charge as stated before. The biggest win is that I can just plug in into the USB port on the surge protector power strip not have another clunky plug. The original charging cord for the night light was only 12" long making it impossible to set it in a night stand. The long cord length allows the night light to be plug in all night and visible without the cord being a tripping hazard. Honestly it solved a big problem! The mini USB piece plugs in nicely and doesn't fall out. All around this was a great addition to our cord collection. I have bought so many garbage ones over the years. This is a keeper!! I am interested to look at other products by this brand namely a car charger. I have an older make car and the only way is thru the lighter. Definitely recommend.

High quality and durable Micro USB to USB A Cable
on August 10, 2024
Posted by: Amanda
from Medford
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Staples Micro USB to USB-A Braided Cable has exceeded my expectations in regard to performance functionality and versatility. This cable offers a quick and convenient charging experience across multiple devices I own including a JBL portable speaker solar charger and wireless keyboard used in conjunction with a tablet. The braided nylon design offers durability in that the cord will not easily become tangled frayed or damaged ultimately extending the lifespan of the cable. Additionally the connector build is strong and of high quality and fits securely with all my devices. The convenient rubber attachment allows the cord to be stored neatly and securely. Perhaps the simplest yet most effective design quality lies with the cable's length an impressive 6.5 feet (2 meters). I am thoroughly impressed with the data transfer speed offered by this cable which quickly and sufficiently transferred pictures from my phone to my desktop computer. This was the most desirable feature for me as I tend to backlog pictures on my phone; the quick and easy transfer of pictures from phone to computer is of high importance. The transfer was seamless as I did not experience any delays or cord/connection malfunctions while using this cable. Overall I highly recommend this product due to its efficiency performance and quality. It has been an excellent addition to my tech setup and is backed by a 1 Year Limited Warranty.

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.

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.
