Review on Anker [3-Pack] Powerline Micro USB (3ft) - Charging Cable for Samsung, Nexus, LG, Android Smartphones and More (Black) - Improved SEO by Nick Moody

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very stiff - good for power applications, not so much for data

These cables are quite thick so probably can handle higher currents than regular cheap cables. However, they are also very stiff and do not bend or straighten well. I suspect this is partly due to the aramid fiber mentioned. In any case, the cables are therefore well-suited for power/charging applications, especially ones where the device remains stationary but is a little cumbersome for data transfers. I would not recommend these cables for low power devices that typically need to be held or moved like keyboards, game controllers and Arduinos. cm or 34.5 inches including plug.

Pros
  • Brilliantly made
Cons
  • Almost never
