RAMPOW Micro USB Cable 6.6ft Nylon Braided Space Gray QC 3.0 Fast Charge & Sync 2.4A for Samsung Galaxy S5/S6/S7, HTC, LG, Kindle, Sony, PS4, and More

My first thought was "Hey, these are actually good cables!", and that's was all there was to it. However, RAMPOW is a relatively new company, and they need good, positive reviews to succeed. At least, that's what "Brooke from Rampow" said in their email to me asking how I liked the cables. I had no complaints with their product, so why not give them what they asked for? (Full disclosure: they did ask me to leave a review for these cables, but are not paying me to leave positive feedback. That said, let's see how their product stacks up to their claims...) *Rampow claims: "Universal Compatibility - The heavy duty micro usb cable supports most Android Tablets, Cell Phones, and Windows Phone which with Micro USB port." +My observation: This is true, but come on - it's a micro USB cable. Unless you're the kind of person who needs the professional assistance of a 12-year-old to figure out electronics, this should be a no-brainer. The only way anyone could take points off here is if they shipped an Apple Lightning cable or HDMI cable instead. I got what I ordered, so no complaints here :) *Rampow claims: "Superb Durability - The stainless steel connector heads slot in easily and steadily, and won't get loose or fall out from your devices as your normal micro cables. Nylon braided cord is tangle free and robust promises you a perfect experience in charging your devices." +My observation: Okay, THIS is the big deal with charging cables, and this is why I paid $8 EACH for what's usually a cheap or free cable. The very first thing I noticed with these is that they "lock" into your device very nicely, and don't let go. For some people with weak grip (arthritis sucks!) this could be a problem, but it isn't for your average user. I like a solid connection, so ten points to Gryffindor! Also, I have wadded one of these up to shove in my pocket with an extended battery in the event I needed to recharge my phone (courtesy of Pokemon Go); much to my surprise, it didn't tangle into a wadded mess - exactly as they claim. Know what? **** you, Snape, twenty points to Gryffindor. *Rampow claims: "Fast Charge & Sync- Ensures a maximum charging speed up to 2.4A, charges faster than most standard cables, and works better for tablettes and quick charge devices. Transfers data up to 480 Mbits through wide diameter 28/21 AWG data and power wires." +My observation: Other than my inner grammar nazi screaming at the misspelled "tablet" in the description, there are no complaints to be had here. 2.4A is about all you're going to get from ANY micro USB cable, and these seem up to spec. *Rampow claims: "Extra Long - The 6.5ft/2m cable is convenient to use while in bed, a car, or office. No worry again for the short length of cables." +My observation: Indeed, these cables are actually 6.5ft in length. I don't know if I would classify them as "extra long", as one of these is replacing a worn out 10ft cable; but I suppose compared to the 6 INCH cables most devices/chargers come with from the factory, this can't really be a complaint. *Rampow claims: "Lifetime Warranty - Rampow® Unconditional Lifetime Warranty, ensures long-time enjoyment of your purchase. Please contact us with any question or concern - we are here to help." +My observation: I've only had these cables for about a week, and (knock on wood) I haven't broken one of these yet. When/If I do, I am genuinely interested in how this warranty plays out. If one of these breaks, and Rampow will replace it with no questions asked; they will have not only a customer for life, but probably a new fanboy that will rave about how awesome they are whenever the situation comes up. Other than being highly annoying, this isn't necessarily a bad thing ;-)

Quick, easy and super fast delivery. Quality product. Happy with my purchase.

**Title: Reliable and Durable Micro USB Cable!** I recently purchased the Micro USB Cable, and I couldn't be happier with my choice! This cable has exceeded my expectations in every way. Firstly, the length is perfect for my needs; it provides flexibility in charging my devices while using them. The build quality is impressive—it's sturdy and seems like it can withstand daily wear and tear. I’ve used it for several weeks now, and there are no signs of fraying or damage. The charging speed is also commendable. It charges my devices quickly, which is essential for someone always on the go. Additionally, the connectors fit snugly in both my phone and power bank, ensuring a reliable connection every time. Overall, I highly recommend this Micro USB Cable to anyone in need of a dependable charging solution. Great value for the price!

These are nice cords.

*UPDATE* This new cable lasted me LESS THAN a month. I don't know if the quality changed after the restock, but with light use, the cable stopped working after less than a month. I had registered my cable with the warranty Rampow provides and after contacting on the website regarding the issue with my cable, I never got a response. I am now hesitant to buy a new cable from them since I'm not sure if I just got a default or the quality has changed. I never leave reviews, but I just had to for this product because it's that good. Unlike many reviews with other cables, this is not sponsored. Bought the cable with my own money and just feel that strongly about it. We all know how difficult finding replacement chargers can be. I don't buy anything online without reading reviews, so I hope this helps. If you are looking for a DURABLE, fast charging, reliable cable look no further. After my original Samsung charger for my galaxy S7 gave out, I went through MANY cables that would either fray or slip off the phone in a matter of weeks, and some even days. I stumbled across Rampow about a year ago and it was the best find ever! These cables click on nicely/secure into the charging port and charge my phone super fast (though I do use a fast charging box as well, but even then, some cables will charge my phone miserably slow). I have dropped my phone and the cable will not detach from the phone. If the metal part begins to bend a little (after many months of use), I simply push bend it back up a little and good as new. I love the braided nylon because I never get fraying with the cables. The length is awesome. I have also bough the 3.3 long Rampow cables which I use to keep at work and spare bags. I just repurchased the 6.5 ; the other lasted me about a year with heavy use, so definitely durable. Rampow was out of stock for a while and I was worried that they were gone forever. After reading horror stories with other highly rated cables where things would catch on fire, I was concerned that I would not find a reliable replacement. I was super happy when I saw they had restocked. And it is such an affordable price too! This is the only charging cable I'll use!

So far this cable is working well for my needs! I needed a longer cable to power an automatic pet feeder. The 6 ft length gives me more options on where I can put it. I contacted customer service before purchasing to make sure it would work; they responded quickly. This seems to be a great quality cable for the money. My cats are getting fed on time!

These cables last. I only have to replace them once every 18 months with daily use.

It's the cable I needed.
