Review on πŸ”Œ Highly Durable Anker Powerline+ USB-C to USB 3.0 Cable (6ft, 2-Pack) for Samsung Galaxy, iPad Pro, MacBook & More - Grey by Robert Ryokan

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Overall a great product - early failures are possible.

*Update below* Great replacement for damaged cables. Can't speak to its durability as I've only had it about a week, but it looks well built and doesn't look "cheap". Many replacement chargers have it. USB 3.0: I only use this cable for fast charging my s8+ and to be honest I haven't had a single problem with it. 10/10 here, but the transfer rate should be tried later. The value for money is pretty good. That being said, if you happen to find it on sale (currently around $19.50), I highly recommend buying it. Update: I've been using one of the cables for about a year and everything seemed to be going well, but I've decided to start with that. use the second cable as a fixed one, always keeping it connected to my UPS so as not to move it too often. The first cable and the second one failed at about the same time and now I have to unplug and plug the cable back in until it charges my phone properly. This is especially true as I only used the second cable for about 3 months before this started and now they won't let me connect my phone to my desktop. These cables are braided to eliminate this type of problem, so I'm very concerned (based on my anecdotal evidence) about the 50% chance the cable will last 3 months. Upgraded from 5 to 3 stars to reflect quality and durability.

Pros
  • 5x longer durability: Double nylon braid on the outside, hardened aramid fiber core and laser-welded connectors give the PowerLine+ consistently superior durability.
Cons
  • Some small things
