Terrible plastic gases.

The cable appears to work well but there is a horrible exhaust smell from the plastic used which has persisted since I opened the box. The cable is also very rigid and inflexible. Bought an anchor cable right away, so let's see how good both are.

Pros
  • Excellent construction
Cons
  • So far so good

IF YOU HAVE A SMELL: LOOK ELSEWHERE

These cables smell like raw tar, pressed crude oil and burnt tires to make the stinkiest cheap rubber imaginable. The whole room stinks and it takes forever to finish the gassing. Unless you use it outdoors, AVOID it!

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks

So much faster. suitable for cables and connectors

This cable charges my phone much more than the one I used. Obviously, efficiency is a very important property of a charging cable. One thing that annoys me about cables is when they hang where you plug them in. I hate when they fall out easily and that's definitely not the case with this line. It's a pretty tight grip. I am very happy with my purchase and would buy the exact same one if I needed another.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Negative impression

Charging too fast…

In the promo for this cable they said that it would charge the iPhone 12 faster than any other charger. It's definitely true that it's fast, but at this point this thing is charging the phone even before I turn it on. There must be some kind of telepathic tension in the air from Nikola Tesla. Somehow my mind, my cable and my phone create atmospheric surges. I guess I shouldn't complain, but having a phone that's always charged and ready to go has increased my usage to the point of ruining my…

Pros
  • Everything OK!
Cons
  • There are nuances

The toxic smell emanating from this cable is really unbearable.

The smell emanating from this thing is so strong and disgusting that even the telephone cord is confusing. I bought a USB-C to Lightning cable from Revain Basics last year and it works great. Completely odorless, long lasting and fits my iPad perfectly. I was hoping/expecting to have the same experience with this 10ft USB-C to USB-A cable. I will never know because the smell is terrible. I put it on our porch and the dog is scratching at the door to get at it. I'm sensitive to chemical smells…

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Avoid like your life depends on it - it does!

I am a Licensed Professional Engineer (PE) who has been designing thermal and fire protection systems for over 3 decades. As a result, I think I can assess what constitutes a "hazardous product" in terms of home fire risk. Revane, I'm also happy to see if you pull this review. If so, it will be forwarded directly to my AG and USDOJ staff. This Revain product poses the greatest fire hazard. You can see the shaft heating up to 240°F on the cold tile floor. Imagine it could heat up between two…

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Things to know

Works great for Android phones.

We like to have charging cables around the house for convenience, so we needed more than just the cables that come with the devices. Most new Android devices use the new USB-C charger, making our old Micro-USB cables obsolete. Simply plug this cable into an outlet and a phone (Google Pixel) and start charging immediately. The charging time with this cable and the factory charger is the same. This cord is 37 inches long from tip to tip. It's just a cable, so you'll need an existing USB male or…

Pros
  • Handy item
Cons
  • So far so good
