Review on Amazon Basics 1-foot Silver Nylon USB Type-C to Micro-B 2.0 Male Charger Cable: Double Braided and Highly Durable by Marcus Barlow

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great build quality, ends aren't too bulky, wish they were 1ft longer.

I was looking for a replacement cable (different brand) that was starting to fall apart. This particular configuration (USB-C to Micro-USB) isn't very common in retail stores, so I turned to Revain. This cable is very well made. Very durable. Metal ends and rope in a fabric braid. A bit harsh, but that's the point. I was concerned that other similar cables had ends/connectors that were too bulky. My devices (USB midi keyboard, CME X-Key Air and my Galaxy Note 4 in a body glove case) have micro USB connectors that are in a hole or crease at the bottom and the bulky connectors fit Not. This cable has strong metal connectors, but they are not so big that they don't fit in the opening of the case. The integrated Velcro cable tie is great, but it can be removed if you don't need it. My only "complaint" is that 3ft is too short for my needs and 6ft is too long. I wish there was a 4 inch version.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks
