AmazonBasics USB Cable - 2.0 A Male to Micro B - 6 Feet (1.8 Meters)

I feel like every time I go to a retail store I'm always shocked at the high mark-up on cables, these cables aren't that expensive to make and honestly I just don't like paying for a brand name. These cables are cheap but work exactly as you need and are of good quality in my opinion. I purchased two of these for a new phone I got and they've worked out perfectly for charging and transferring data between the computer and the phone. The length is just right to give you some extra room, and the cables aren't flimsy and don't feel cheap. There are of course cheaper cables available, but with these I feel Amazon always delivers something that's both a good price and good quality, and the shipping is quick so you don't have to wait for a month for a cable to come from Hong Kong. Pros: Low price Good quality Cons: Not the cheapest available cables

Update: After several months 2 of the 3 cables I was using went bad and stopped charging my phone. My daughters phone also uses micro-USB and also did not work for charging except for the 1 cable that was still working. So, I was able to confirm it is not just a problem with my phone charging port. The one that kept on working is still working over a year later. So I'm reducing my review to 1 star. Reliability is above everything else in a basic utility type of product like this. I paid more to ensure I had a quality product. It's unfortunate that was wrong, and on the Amazon name as well. --------- Original Review: I bought several of these cables, primarily for charging, but also for data transfer via USB to computers. I've been using them daily for charging at home, in my car, and on the go (I pack one with my laptop so I can charge in a pinch). I mostly pair them with general wall or cigarette lighter plug-in USB chargers, though obviously they can be used with normal USB ports as well. The new USB-3 ports that are 'always on' regardless of whether the computer is on or awake are especially useful. My family uses these cables on multiple phones in our house that have the Micro B USB connectors. I can't comment on the data transfer capability with my wife's or daughter's phones, but it works fine with my LG Optima Android phone, so it has the additional wires required for this function (not just the power wires). While it's a bit more expensive then some of the other wires out there, it was worth paying a little premium to guarantee good build quality and a product that will work out of the box every time. The quality of the cable and connectors is easy to see and feel, while not being so bulky it gets difficult to bend into the positions you want for laying your phone down while it charges.

haven't had it all that long but so far , it works . It charges , it transfers data and it gives a lil' extra length over the cable supplied with our DROID phones . The cable is clearly thicker and more robust as well . This should help to extend life and usability . The connectors are gold plated which is also clearly an improvement over the standard cable . I would also note that the strain reliefs on this cable are rather stout too which is beneficial in prolonging it's user life while minimizing the inner cracking /breaking of wires from being bent and connected in odd / precarious angles . As a side note though , when i ordered this initially i was of the impression it would arrive in 2 days per my PRIME account but was dismayed to find it was listed as an 8 - 12 week delivery ! After pitching a b1tch i received a notification stating they had been restocked and my order was shipping sooner than expected . So after only 16 days or so from initial order i received it in what was listed as garaunteed hassle free packaging or whatever that is and i don't know about all that but heres what i got ... a standard USPS bubble padded envelope which inside held a vinyl sealed shut envelope which inside of that held my invoice and the cable , neatly wound up and twist tied together on itself . So thats what they mean by hassle free i guess ??? Anyways , a worth while product at a fair price from Amazon but the jury's not fully in just yet on the whole delivery fiasco and what not ...

This was a great upgrade for my wife's and mine phone. The standard charger that came with our droid phones was about 1.5' long, this is obviously much longer and we can pick our phones up at night without ripping the charger out of the socket. The construction is great, I reliability on all of the AmazonBasic cables I have bought are not ever a question - my 2 HDMI cables I have at work for our office TV for presentations and kiosk display are over 2 years old, the HDMI cables I have on my 2 TVs at home are 4+ years old,and I have long since switched from cablestogo to Amazon Basics cables for any application other than bulk cat5/cat6. The quality is top tier and the performance and reliability will match any top grade cable manufacturer (if you ever buy a monster cable - you were ripped off). AmazonBasics cables aren't bargain cables, they are top grade items, just for a low price.

Me alegro haber dado con los cables propios de Amazon,que tienen un muy buen precio y un acabado espectacular: éste en particular es muy largo y de mucha calidad, no solo al tacto: las clavijas se ven fuertes y muy bien acabadas; más resistente que el original. El precio razonable para el pedazo de cable que es. Recomendaría su compra siempre y si se me pierde o rompe el mío (cosa que dudo) me lo volvería a comprar

Works for what I need it for to charge my hp slate. the gold plating is a plus and the long length lets me sit on the sofa charging and reading my tablet. Only had it a few days so we will see how it does with constant use and over time.

Die Qualität des Kabels ist ausgezeichnet. Es besteht aus strapazierfähigem Material und ist gut verarbeitet. Die Stecker passen perfekt in die entsprechenden Anschlüsse und bieten eine stabile und zuverlässige Verbindung. Auch nach mehrfacher Nutzung bleibt die Signalübertragung konstant und zuverlässig. Die Länge des Kabels mit 1,8 Metern ist ideal für verschiedene Anwendungsbereiche. Es bietet ausreichend Spielraum und Flexibilität, um Geräte miteinander zu verbinden, ohne dass sie direkt nebeneinander stehen müssen. Dies ist besonders praktisch, wenn man beispielsweise das Smartphone mit dem Computer verbinden oder Daten auf eine externe Festplatte übertragen möchte. Die Datenübertragungsgeschwindigkeit des AmazonBasics USB 2.0-Kabels ist beeindruckend. Es ermöglicht schnelle und zuverlässige Übertragungen von Dateien, Musik, Videos und mehr. Ich habe das Kabel für verschiedene Anwendungen verwendet, und jedes Mal konnte ich auf eine reibungslose und zügige Datenübertragung zählen. Ein weiterer Vorteil des AmazonBasics USB 2.0-Kabels ist sein breites Anwendungsspektrum. Es eignet sich nicht nur für den Anschluss von Smartphones, sondern auch für Kameras, Tablets, externe Festplatten und andere Geräte mit Micro-B-Anschluss. Die Kompatibilität ist vielseitig und macht das Kabel zu einem praktischen Begleiter im Alltag. Alles in allem bin ich mit dem AmazonBasics USB 2.0-Kabel mehr als zufrieden. Es erfüllt alle meine Erwartungen an ein hochwertiges und zuverlässiges Kabel für die Datenübertragung. Die Qualität, Länge und Kompatibilität sind beeindruckend, und die Datenübertragung verläuft stets reibungslos. Ich kann dieses Kabel jedem empfehlen, der eine stabile und zuverlässige Verbindung zwischen seinen Geräten wünscht.

There are some minor issues with amperage loss, but in my case (ordered 2 cables) these are only minor, and aren't really noticeable with my 2AMP phone charger, only with weaker, 0.5AMP PC USB sockets. But even there it will charge up the phone to the top. What I wanted to stress, is that due to it's length and softness, this will not brake your phone's micro USB socket, and it will not end up spinning your phone around when you plug it in, like most shorter and harder cables do. You can comfortably have it plugged in while using your phone in bed etc. Really good and not at all "basic" cable at a decent price!

Di cavi USB ne ho provati molti ma devo dire che questo è davvero ben fatto. I connettori sono di qualità superiore ed anche gli innesti tra il cavo ed i connettori stessi non lasciano presagire debolezze strutturali (molti cavi USB cedono quasi sempre in quei punti prima o poi). Inoltre la generosa sezione del cavo (un 28AWG) garantisce affidabilità e velocità nel trasferimento dati ancorchè una migliore efficenza in caso venga usato come collegamento ad un alimentatore di ricarica. Nonostante la lunghezza ragguardevole (1.8mt per un cavo USB da usare anche per il trasferimento dati non è poco) non mi ha mai dato problemi di connettività, neanche quando collegato su porte USB "sensibili" ed ostiche di certe vecchie schede madri. Unico neo sta nella dimensione extra large del connettore micro SD che in presenza di alcuni tipi di cover non entra nell'apposita apertura, costringendo alla momentanea rimozione della cover stessa per poter essere usato.
