[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.
[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.
[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.
[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.
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.
