Belkin Launches New Collection of Durable Lightning, USB-A, and USB-C 'Boost Charge' Cables

Those are pretty much banned by reputable brands after Target was forced to recall metal USB cables. People got shocked when they got tangled in wall outlet prongs.

Oh, that both makes sense and sounds kind of stupid.

Belkin cables = Monster cables

Anker does not make their own USB cords. There are a couple of manufacturers in China that OEM for them and often Belkin has them OEM for them as well. What the manufacturer makes for them and what goes inside the cables depends on what their engineers from both sides agree on. Anything over 3 feet long and performance numbers/levels drop. The longer the more expensive too. Often manufacturers use the shortest cords to quote performance specs or don’t tell you what length they used to get those numbers. A company like Belkin can not use the knock off chipset for usb cable to be MFi compliant with Apple. Because they use the real chipset they have to fork out 3 times more of what a USB cable without the Apple MFi would cost.

Anker is MFi certified and uses thicker cabling for longer cords. They save money on less marketing. And also the break point in high end cables isn’t the cable but the connector.

Connector is the break point in a cable and the type of wire used reflects on data transfer and charging speeds.

Why leather? That itself makes me disinterested.

What’s your point Vanessa. That’s exactly what I said.

I realize this, I have been to many USB cable manufacturers in China and worked with quite a few for ordering USB cables. I know Anker and know 2 of their suppliers which OEM for them.

But... what’s your point. I’m still unclear?

The Anker USB-C I picked up on Amazon was amazing. Braided, in its own pouch with a magnet latch.

Sounds interesting - do you have a link, please?
