If you prefer a shorter cable, the 3-foot version of this cable is slim and compact, and it can coil up small to fit in a pocket or purse. Likewise, the 6-foot version is well suited for carrying in a backpack or briefcase, or for staying put in a desktop or bedside charging setup.
This cable is available in a variety of lengths, making it convenient for a variety of needs. The 1-foot version and the 3-foot version are small and compact enough to pack up and take with you. The 6-foot version is a good length to reach from a wall outlet to a desk, bedside table, or kitchen countertop without adding unnecessary clutter. And our favorite of the bunch, the 10-foot version, adds even more length to accommodate hard-to-reach outlets.
Who should get this: Someone who wants a Lightning cable with a 90-degree plug to create a more streamlined look or to put minimal strain on the cable housing while the iPhone is propped up (for movie watching or video chats, for instance).
Who should get this: Someone who wants a super-short cable to connect two small devices (one with a USB-A port, and the other with a Lightning port) that are placed side by side or stacked atop one another.
To learn more about recycling electronic waste (e-waste), we interviewed the following experts: Joe Day, commercial manager of the Midwest and Northeast regions for Li-Cycle and former director of global business development at TerraCycle Regulated Waste; Linda Gabor, executive vice president of external relations at Call2Recycle; and Leo Raudys, president and CEO of Call2Recycle. For past versions of this guide, we also consulted with Lee Johnson, a former NASA electrical engineer, to better understand the inner workings of charging cables.
Wielding these criteria like a machete, we hacked through thickets of cable options, cultivating a list of 69 models to test from a variety of brands, including Amazon Basics, Anker, Apple, Belkin, Fuse Chicken, Kanex, Monoprice, Nomad, Paracable, RAVPower, and Tripp Lite.
Lastly, some cables come with an accessory (such as a hook-and-loop cable tie to keep it neatly coiled) or have a standout feature (such as a small light to let you know when your device is charging). In these cases, we tried to judge whether the accessory or feature significantly improved our overall charging experience.
If our favorite cloth-covered Lightning cable for USB-A ports is unavailable: The Belkin BoostCharge Braided Lightning to USB-A Cable (which comes in 3.3-foot, 6.6-foot, and 9.8-foot versions) is a good option. It has a shorter warranty than our pick (two years versus five), but its braided-nylon sheath is nearly as slim, flexible, and rugged. It also costs less and comes in two colors (black and white) instead of one.
We also advise loosely wrapping cables, rather than folding or otherwise aggressively bending them. Tight coils and folds can damage the metal wires inside the cable, causing it to work improperly or not at all. The hook-and-loop (that is, Velcro) fasteners that some companies toss in with their cables (including many of our picks) are useful for this purpose since they allow a loosely coiled cable to hold its shape for compact storage. We have more tips for safely storing cables in our guides to the best bag and cable organizers and the best gear for organizing your desk.
Eventually, though, even the sturdiest and most scrupulously cared-for charging cables will reach their end of days. When that happens, the best thing to do is recycle them. Since recycling facilities salvage usable components from old electronics, rather than mining and manufacturing the materials needed to make new ones, this simple action can help conserve natural resources, reduce emissions, and avoid polluting soil and water systems.
The Amazon Basics Lightning to USB-A Cable (6 feet) used to be a budget pick in this guide, but a CNN investigation found that it and numerous other Amazon Basics products are prone to explode, catch on fire, or begin smoking, melting, or causing electrical malfunctions. After evaluating Amazon customer reviews of this cable and similar models (including our pick in this category), we no longer recommend this cable due to a high percentage of reports related to fire, heat, and melting.
In a previous round of testing, in 2019, we found that the double-braided nylon encasing the Anker PowerLine+ II USB-A to Lightning Cable (available in 1-foot, 3-foot, 6-foot, and 10-foot lengths) failed to enhance the experience of using its rubber-encased counterparts. Since these cables cost a few dollars more than our pick in this category, and since this material is known to wear down or snag (like a sweater) after extended use, we decided not to test them again.
The housings on the Monoprice USB-A to Lightning, Micro-USB, USB-C Cable (3 feet) are smaller than those of our pick, and as a result we found them less comfortable to grasp when we were plugging and unplugging. Also, the tethers that attach the metal connectors to the body of the cable are thinner and flimsier.
The two-year warranty on the Tripp Lite Safe-IT Universal Cable (4 feet) is shorter than the lifetime warranty on our pick in this category, and unlike that cable it comes exclusively in white. Also, while the housings on the USB-A and Micro-USB ends of this cable are solidly built and comfortable to hold, its Lightning and USB-C attachments are smaller and have a less ergonomic shape.
USB Type-B cables are less commonly used. They have a squarish-shaped USB Type-B connector on one end, which is generally used for connecting things like printers and external hard drives to computers.
USB-C is an emerging USB standard that allows you to quickly power up devices and transfer data between them. USB-C cables are reversible with symmetrical oval-shaped connectors, making them a cinch to plug in.
While we do our best to ensure all open-box devices are reviewed, and marked accordingly for condition and any missing accessories, occasionally something may be missed. Should this be a concern surrounding an accessory or part that was listed as included, please know we are unable to assist in locating replacements, so this would leave you with the option of a return or exchange.
So I have been Looking into buying a laptop and have been waiting for a sale to go on for it. The price went down from 1100 to 850 I figured i'll buy it now. I went to look at the open box options and chose the highest level of open box you can get which is the geek squad certified one. It was only 50 dollars less from the unopened laptop price, if I new what was going to happen in the future I would have bought the new one. So the laptop shows up at my door a week later, it looks very good no sign that anyone has used it. I plug it in it turns on everything seems good, but this is where everything went downhill. I go to unplug it and it won't turn on unless it's plugged in. The battery was at 100% and still won't turn on using the battery. I go to my local best buy store and see if I can get it exchanged, the guy said there was no more open box laptops for the exact one I had. He also said we couldn't just swap it for a new one, he also couldn't see other stores open box prices. So we ended up just getting the refund. I get home and went on best buys site and now the price of the laptop is now 1100. I was very mad because I would have had the laptop for 800 if the geek squad can correctly evaluate a laptop. I originally went for the open box option because I had a friend buy the same laptop at the lowest open box quality and it was perfect aswell. I ended up calling the best buy customer service center and working out a deal out with them for getting a working laptop of what I had just bought for the same price as I had just payed. Keep in mind it was still an open box one because the could only adjust the price around 200$. That was very nice of them but it took about 2 hours on the phone to do this. In the end best buy needs to check every parameter of the open box items if they are going to call it the excellent condition, and buyers need to beware when buying open box items.
So, I have multiple questions.. First, how does Best Buy send me a CLEARLY open-box item that I paid NEW pricing for?? Second, what will Best Buy do to rectify the situation?? There are multiple items missing from the box, such as the Q-Connector, SATA cables, ROG coaster, and ROG stickers.. The last two are secondary, but they're missing, and that's the point here.. Finally, how can I be sure that if Best Buy is going to send me another motherboard that it too will not be opened and tampered with??
Let's be real here for a second.. SATA cables aren't hard to come by, nor are they that expensive.. I can live without the ASUS Q-Connector, though it does make things a LOT easier.. The ROG coaster and stickers are just show pieces, really.. The primary concern is that the motherboard may or may not have been installed, may or may not have been damaged, etc.. I simply don't know, which is why I never buy used motherboards unless I can see them in operation beforehand.. The secondary concern is how Best Buy is going to make this right.. Am I going to have to wait for a replacement motherboard to be sent to me since none are in stock anyway remotely local, and how long will that take?? Will Best Buy give me a reasonable discount if I keep the motherboard (if it works, and I don't know since I immediately put it back in the box after examining the situation)?? Frustrating is an understatement.. 781b155fdc
