OtterBox USB-A to USB-C Cable, 2M - Black

In the tradition of the OtterBox brand, this is a thick, substantial cable. It fits snuggly into my devices and the ends seem to be reinforced to prolong the life of the cable and avoid failures and breakage. Recommended.

OtterBox Premium USB-A to USB-C Cable, 3M - Cloud, works well. This white cable connects an USB-A port to an USB-C port. The cable is 3 meters in length as I didnt want a short cable. Other lengths are available. This cable is thick and it is flexible. It is covered in braided nylon that combats fray and tangles and has been bend/flex-tested for rigorous use. The velcro tie is handy for securing excess length. I been having trouble with a couple of cable connections bending and the wires breaking. I decided to get some better quality cables and I hope these Otterbox cables will fill the bill and last.

This is a high-quality USB-A to USB-C cable, and at 2 meters it should be long enough for most applications. It feels very durable, since the cords itself is thick, and the ends have a reinforced hard plastic shell around them. It is definitely reminiscent of otterbox cases. I tried to bend it 3000 times, but only got to about 1000 and gave up because my fingers hurt. So, this cable is more durable than I am!

What I like: - Decent length - Braided nylon - Includes a cord wrap for when I need to roll it back up I cant think of anything that I dont like about this. OtterBox is a name I trust and they consistently create reliable products. Note: This is not a fast charging cable. It charges my phone at regular speed. (OtterBox does have a different cable that does do fast charging if you need fast charging)

This review is for OtterBox Premium USB-A to USB-C Cable, 3M - Dark ASH The color says dark ash, but its pretty much black. Its 2 meters so approximately 6 feet long and it works well. The cable comes with a little rubber tie that is pretty difficult to maneuver but it works well once it is on. I did struggle with it to take it off and put it back on when I wanted to make the cable longer/shorter, but it works well. I probably prefer velcro ties more though, but its appreciated that it came with it. I charged a samsung galaxy phone with its original charger brick and the cord was able to fast charge the phone. Awesome! It also seems to charge an ipad mini 6 fine but slower due to me using a charger brick that is smaller than what it originally came with. Price wise, its pretty typical that charging cords that have reinforcing along the cord (not just plastic casing) and 2 meters long are more expensive. The price doesnt surprise me at almost $27. But time will tell if this cord holds up to the bending etc.

Both the cable and connectors are very strong and durable, if you have a high use environment, this is going to work perfectly for you.

Otterboxs USA-A to USB-C cable doesnt do anything different than a generic cable would, it just does it better. Its more durable, it doesnt kink, and it connects super-securely to transfer both power and data. The lifetime warranty shows how confident Otterbox is in their product. Im not going to knock you if you get generic cables for some applications; heck, I have a bunch. But if you need a cable you absolutely know you can depend on and are willing to shell out some extra money for, this is it.

I wouldnt say theres anything particularly remarkable about this cable, but I would still recommend this over no-name ones purely for security reasons. This is capable of data transfer, and the paranoid part of me isnt comfortable with buying generic cables for that reason. While I have no reason in particular to trust Otterbox, it is a reputable brand that is known for quality.

Ive purchased a few USB-C cords from various companies in the last couple of years, and lets just say some of the off-brand ones are having some issues with bending, as in the rubber near the head of the cable start to tear and rip and the wires show. Once that happens, I toss it. So far, the Otterbox cable is holding up well and showing no signs of wear, which is exactly as I want. I am also not getting the slow charge warnings anymore. The storefronts, especially the e-tailers, are filled with no-brand type cords, and I am starting to notice the quality difference. I just need a few more of these to replace my other subpar purchses.

When I had seen Otterbox made cables, its worth giving them a chance and sure enough the quality is as expected. In comparison to other durable cables, this Otterbox cable is a bit more stiff and still provides a reasonable amount of bend or flex and the cable ends have a nice amount of reinforcement where a cable will typically be flexed the most. Overall this is a cable Id highly recommend may it be for a phone or tablet.
