Anker [4-Pack] Powerline Micro USB (1ft) - Charging Cable for Samsung, Nexus, LG, Android Smartphones and More (Black)

I use Anker pretty much for all of my data and phone charging needs at this point. I have 2 backup batteries, 2 multi-port charging stations and now the USB cables to go along with it. I thought all USB Micro cables were made the same until I got a couple of Anker cables in my hand. You do notice that the Anker cables charge faster, better and safer. I compared this with a generic USB Micro cable with my phone completely dead, it did 10% in about half hour. I killed my phone and charged it again with the Anker cable and I got about 30% charge in a half hour. That is definitely a huge improvement.These USB cables also just feel better. Solid connectors and also come with mini velcro rip-ties to keep the cable organized. I won't use another USB cable brand again.

In our house, we are constantly using portable backup batteries to keep our phones charged while on the go. (We prefer Anker batteries.) While regular microUSB cables work well, they are a little long and unwieldy. These cables are just the right length and most importantly, the end with the microUSB connector is small and thin, allowing it to be plugged into the phone without removing the case. Other cables we have used that have larger molded plastic connectors tend to last a day with one of our more heavy handed family members. (Metal connector is usually bent at a significant angle, ruining the connector.)These also work well for data transfer, but due to the length, we usually don't use them for that.Excellent for connecting battery packs to phones. Good build quality. Nice multi-pack. Excellent price. Would definitely buy again.

Do you have a child? Does your child like tablets? Does your child insist on playing with his tablet while it charges? Have you gone through dozens of "unbreakable" cables that your child destroys in a matter of days? Not with these babies.I think I have spent more on cables to charge tablets than I have spent on tablets. I've bought the insulated ones, the steel-core ones, I've brought the protectors for the ends, I've tried every solution under the sun, and the kid breaks every one of them as if it were a timed sport. Most of the time, he seems to "unmount" the metal piece from the end that plugs in to the tablet. I was left standing there holding the charger in place like I was milking a cow.Now, I buy one of these sets Every Four Months. It almost seems like a gimmick, because I can attach these to an extension cord so the kid can still play while his tablet charges and they still don't break. It's only the longer USB cables that break on me. These one-foot wonders last at least 30 hard days of abuse.For myself, I use the big red Anker cables because they work great and I think they're pretty. But these - I'll never buy another wire for my kid's tablets. Throw out everything else, get yourself a few packs of these, and get rid of some of the frustration in your life.

When I ordered this set of cables, I did not realize the 1' limitation. It is definitely way too short, unless I connect it to a side USB slot on my laptop. There it is doable for my Jabra Supreme headset, my Garmin gps and other small electronic devices. Where it does not seem practical is to charge a backup battery bank. The cable length is too short. The quality of the cable is on par with Anker's quality of products. I have several Anker cables for Android and Apple devices, as well as, chargers. Anker never disappoints in the quality and reliability department.

Oh, Anker, you make such good cables. It's all I use, and I've gone through and replaced all of my USB cables with Ankers. I got these to bundle with their  Anker 40W/8A 5-Port USB Charger PowerPort 5, Multi-Port USB Charger for iPhone 6/6 Plus, iPad Air 2/Mini 3, Samsung Galaxy S6/S6 Edge and More  to take with me on trips so that we only have to carry a single charger for all of our devices (though I carry a backup dual port Anker as well....) Really reduces the clutter with all of our stuff plugged in - no excess cables spilling all over. Have another two in my laptop for phone and data transfer, while still charging my watch.One of the nice things about these (and the longer versions of the same) is that they simply work. I got tired of using a cable with my phone that would charge it just fine, but couldn't be used for data transfer or flashing new firmware on it, but would work for my wife's phone or tablet - or vice versa... I HAD fa few of those, no longer. These work for everything on every device.

Bought these 17 months ago. I really only used 2 of the 4.1 work as intended2 1ft length is perfect for power banks charging cell phones on the go3 i bend and bend and no problem4 charges tablet phones power banks really anythinf at better speeds.5 don't buy other cables. Buy these. They just work and are built to last.6 2 weeks before warranty is over one cable malfunctioned. I used that one cable an average of 15 to 20 times a week. He little metal hooka that keep the micro usb part in the port no longer bounce back and so the cable comes loose and stops charging. 15 uses a week times 75 weeks equals at least 1100 times it was plugged in and out. Try doing that with another cable. Contacted anker. They got back to me in 2 days and said they'll ship me a replacement within 4 days. Day 2 of waiting.7 overall good experience with items and cuatomer service.

When measured, the one foot cables are a little closer to eleven and three-quarter inches tip to tip. That means once you plug everything in you're going to lose another three-quarter’s of an inch to the USB ports, and two to three inches of flexibility to the solid ends. Ultimately still a well-built cable, and able to do the job I bought them for – i.e. charging electronics while at my desk and the occasional data dump. Where a part of me is wishing I had bought foot and a half long cables instead, that my own fault and no reason to knock off any stars.Overall I’ve been rather pleased with the quality of goods by Anker, and for the time being I see myself turning to them first if I need any more USB cables or chargers.

These cables are extremely well built and durable. I have had them for years and they still work perfectly. You won't be upset with this purchase.

Excellent

Great cable at a reasonable price. Nothing fancy, just solidly built. Charges fast.Not worth buying any other brand's cables.Very satisfied with my purchase.

I purchase a lot of Anker products and am usually happy with the purchases. These cables stopped charging for me after about 2 months but Anker replaced the cables for me free of charge. I understand USB cables have a life span and most times the Anker cables I purchased have lasted much longer than 2 months so this was an unusual situation for me. But like I said they fixed that issue and I'll continue to be an Anker customer.

very good
