Review on πŸ”Œ Sabrent [6-Pack] 1ft Premium Micro USB Cables - High Speed Sync and Charge - Black (CB-UM61) by Phillip Hoover

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Will not work with Anker PowerPort

I ordered these to use with my Anker PowerPort. (Anker 6-Port 60W/12A PowerPort 6 USB Charger for iPhone 6/6 Plus, iPad Air 2/mini 3, Samsung Galaxy s6/s6 edge, Note 5, etc.) I have multiple phones, tablets, etc. that I need to charge, so I created a PowerPort charging zone. Strangely, these connection cables didn't charge any of my devices via PowerPort. They work great when you plug them directly into an AC wall charger (the ones that came with the unit), but not a PowerPort. I don't know what the problem is here, but the Anker PowerPort or Sabrent patch cords have a compatibility issue. Since all of my other cables work fine with the PowerPort, I have to assume it's a Sabrent issue. A lesson learned here. Order devices and cables from the same manufacturer. Update: I was contacted by Sabrent who offered me replacement bridges and advised that the ones originally shipped were defective. The new jumpers, while appearing identical to the originals, work great with the Anker PowerPort hub. I'm updating my rating to four based on Sabrent's excellent response to my problem.

Pros
  • USB cable
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
