I am a huge fan of Anker and always hunt out their products first before looking for another. Always great quality and just the best replacement cable I have found.
The cable has completely charged my phone in around an hour. Its very fast. Its also very thick, you can tell it high quality item. Would definitely buy again if I need another.
I’ve had about three of these now – this last one was for my other half and he’s also very pleased.
Wouldn’t expect anything else from Anker – good quality product at reasonable prices as usual.
I have been having issues with USB cables that claim to work with Android Auto and don’t. The lag on some of them is atrocious. For me, this cable works well with next to no lag. I am glad that I bought it.
I always buy my cables and chargers from thus company. Good rock solid products.
I bought because it’s an Anker product. In my experience it’s a reliable – if less than cutting edge – technology brand. the cable’s a good weight – reassuringly heavy and the connectors attached to it don’t feel flimsy.
I admit we’ve been together now for only three days. But we got down to business straightaway and four devices, including three high-ish capacity powerbanks have benefited from good solid – if not as rapid as I’d fantasized – toppings-up.
I hope it lasts a bit longer than the tech I take in/get taken by often sees fit to.
This cable is durable and long so it stretches to places others can’t reach. Good value for money.
Data transfer seems to be stuck at USB 2 speeds. A dongle (UGREEN USB to USB C Adapter, USB 3.0 Male to Type C Female) took 6 minutes to transfer 15 gigabytes of mixed files from a SATA drive to a Corsair USB C 3.0 SSD. Windows was telling me that the exact same task would take six hours using this cable on an identical setup (I gave up). I cannot rate for longevity as only I’ve just bought it.
Edited to add …
I think it was the exFAT file system that was causing the problem copying multiple small files. One test drive was exFAT the other was NTFS. Cable seems fine with exFAT large files or when using NTFS.
Sorry, guys.
But then using it for local journeys that same day I got error messages on the the in car system , music failed and Android Auto wasnt recognised. I reset the phone, I reset the in car system but nothing worked. I changed the cable to a Samsung wire, which luckily I was carrying as a charging wire. I plugged this into the car and service was resumed as if nothing had happened.
I contacted Anker, assuming that 9 months use would not result in a replacement; but it did. Anker handled my issue very well and even let me keep the original wire as it still charges the phone independent of the car. So well done Anker.
I am yet to replace the Samsung cable with the new Anker wire in the car. My expectations are that when I use it, it will work and be reliable. I am hopeful. Anker did point out that the replacement wire had a new guarantee so at least I’m covered for a while.
So 3* for product reliability, I had a journey dependency, but 5* for customer service.
Update 12/6/23. New Anker wire installed and it works immediately. So it works on day 1 and I’m looking forward to a longer period of sustained reliability.
Well if you could see my purchase history you would see I’m sadly a serial cable killer, I even managed to kill and tear apart my UNBreakCable brand of cable, that had a guarantee against it never breaking and I managed to break it
I am the cable killer and have gone through so many USB C cables in just a few years, so far this is holding up, I will however, update should I manage to kill this one too.
All the other cables will be having a memoriam ceremony within the next couple of weeks.
If you’re a cable manufacturer however and are looking for serial cable killers to test your new unbreakable, robust cables out I will gladly help you by using your new cables and putting their prowess to the test so drop me a message or ask Amazon to contact me because you need someone to test your new robust and unbreakable cable out and you need the best serial cable killer out there and I’ll gladly out them through everything I’ve go
With its red sheath and thick slightly stiff cable this looks like a good quality product from a well known brand with a reputation to maintain which is why I chose this product. The cable is too stiff to tightly coil so may not suit users who need a very flexible cable. It still works after a couple of weeks of use, as it should do. It’s not being used for high power charging, that’s for the future. 4 stars instead of 5 because no judgement can be made on charging power except that it’s adequate for my needs, durability and sturdiness judgment can only be based on cable thickness and plug sheaths.
I recently forgot my iPad password after having to change it – unfortunately, a few weeks later I had forgotten it as I do not regularly use my iPad.
I connected my iPad to my Mac using a USB-C to USB-A cable however my Mac would only charge my iPad, the Mac itself would not recognise that the iPad was connected nor would it show the device in finder or iTunes. I had tried multiple cables and still had the same issue therefore I spoke to Apple Care who advised I would probably need to go into the Apple store to complete the restore of my iPad.
After doing some research, I found on the Apple Community website that someone had a similar issue like I was facing – what resolved it for them was using a high quality cable, so on my hunt for a cable I decided to do some research. Apple actually recommends Anker as brand and is one of their recommended brands when it comes to accessories.
The cable worked as intended, instantly my Mac recognised my iPad and was able to restore it – I didn’t really think that a cable would make much difference considering we tried multiple however I have learnt that when it comes to premium devices such as iPads/iPhones and Macs, is it really worth scrimping on cheap/budget cables. Suitable for charging and data transfer, supports fast charging.
The cable is high quality – durable connectors either end which are protected to extend the lifespan, protecting from repeated bending.
Highly recommended – will definitely be purchasing Anker cables again and replacing all of our old ones!
Actually, when it comes to these Anker cables, there’s quite a lot to say. Thankfully, as I like writing this stuff.
OK, let’s do this in an unboxing stylee (see attached photos) and begin with the box. It’s like no other cable I’ve seen, with a wax paper overlay and very smart indeed. I’d prefer a blister pack or one of the Amazon ziplock bags to be honest though, save on a bit of waste the world really doesn’t need.
When you get past the wax paper, you don’t find a cable but a suedette (is that a thing) feel pouch. Open this up and your cable sits within. Actually, it is trapped within by a Velcro strap. There is method to this seeming madness however, as you can use the pouch not only as additional travel protection but to regulate how much cable you reel out. Nice touch.
The cable itself is what matters though, that’s what you are buying here and not all the ‘look at us jazzing up a boring old cable’ malarkey. And a boring old cable it isn’t, it’s a pretty nifty one. I needed a USB-C to USB 3 cable, so this review applies to that but (having also just ordered a USB to micro-USB charging cable from Anker) it seems that the same construction applies to all.
I can’t yet attest to the lasts 5x longer claim that Anker advertises, but it wouldn’t surprise me. This thing certainly appears to be made to last. It’s something of a survival cable, in fact, and should have it’s own reality TV show. Or maybe not, so back to the review. The double-braided nylon is nothing new, lots of premium cables do this now, but the combination of this with a toughened aramid (honeycomb) fibre core gives this one a really strong feel and zero chance of knotting.
Then there’s the laser-welded connectors which have a rubber cloak at the cable end to provide flexibility and help lessen the usual ‘bend stress’ damage you get at this point. Anker claims it can survive 5000 or more ‘bends’ compared to 1000 of most cables. That doesn’t sound like an awful lot to me, but time will tell I guess.
The fact that Anker gives an 18-month warranty on a cable is pretty impressive. The company seems to stand by the tougher than the rest claim, and my experience of its customer care people is that they replace stuff without hassle. Which makes buying this cable, even at a small price premium over the cheapo ones, a bit of a no-brainer for me. What’s the worse than can happen? If it wears out in a year I’ll invoke the warranty thing and get a replacement. Sorted.
