Amazon Basics Micro USB to USB-A 2.0 Cable, Nylon Braided Cord, 480Mbps Transfer Speed, Gold-Plated, 3 m, Dark Grey

I know what you all think when you see "AmazonBasics". Cheap, simple, boring, low-quality, temporary solutions.Sometimes, that might be right, but definitely not this time! These cables are very nicely designed. The braiding is high quality nylon and doesn't feel like it will come off any time soon. The micro USB end of the cable gets securely held in my device with the two prongs on the bottom of the connector, unlike some cables which either don't have them, or they are very low quality.These cables are nice and long, meaning I can have them plugged in while using my phone in bed or at my desk. It's also helpful when I have my power bank in my bag and want to charge my phone at the same time.These cables seem to hold up against everything I throw at them, including QC3.0 or Quick Charge 3.0 which some cheaper cables don't support.I would genuinely recommend these to anyone looking for a cheap set of cables which are great quality.

A great quality cable.I bought this as a charging cable for a micro PC (PC on a stick) which requires 5v 2.1a to run and this cable has worked flawlessly with a 12w power adapter.For some reason I always have a preconceived idea about brands such as Amazon Basics, Tesco Value, Asda Smart Price etc - it feels like because the cost is low, that the quality will be bad.This is not the case with any of the Amazon Basic products I have tried - all have been of a similar quality and performed as well as named brand products. In fact, I’d rate their cables as better than the one that ship with mobile phones.Overall, the cable feels very durable, is working well and was an absolutely bargain price - very happy with this purchase!

I use this cable to charge my wireless mouse, sometimes though I have to charge while I'm using it. It's probably not the most ideal cable for that scenario as it's quite a stiff cable. That however could be seen as a good thing depending on your application. It's got a bit of heft to it so feels good quality. If you're looking for a phone charger or perhaps something you leave plugged in this would be perfect. For a mouse though just note its stiffness.I'd recommend it for applications other than mouse charging.

I bought this as a replacement charging cable for my PS4. The length is great as it means I can sit far back away from the screen and play whilst charging. They cable fits well into the controller so there's no fear of it coming out during playing. I'm a big fan of nylon braided cables as they always feel more sturdy compared to plastic ones. I generally go for AmazonBasics cables as they are great value, and trustworthy brand and feel very well built. I would recommend this!

You can tell its decent quality as soon as you feel thr material. Very good

I have purchased a few amazon basic leads. They do last me for a few years.

My old 1 metre (3.3 ft) cable was on the fritz, so I tried eBay where a bewildering array of cheap wires exist - no luck there then.So I tried Amazon instead, I nearly struck out with a Mophie cable (bad reviews on reliability), I was about to give up when I came across the Amazon -not so- Basics collection.These wires are excellent. A DOUBLE braided cable that is both thick and flexible with HIGH quality plugs that STAY soldered to the wire (Mophie👎).Available in 30cm (1ft), 90cm (3ft), 180 cm (6ft) & 300cm (10ft) lengths.Other plugs USB-C / Lightning are also available.The only negative was that I had to order 7 of these little (6ft) beauties so that I could actually place the order, that wasn't a problem as they were VERY competitively priced making the order cost about the same as a SINGLE mophie cable, cha-ching.VERY HAPPY. Will purchase again!

We're not overly heavy users of these cables but unfortunately this broke after 3 months. Amazon were fantastic and sent a replacement out - may have been just an unlucky bad one we had, it felt great quality and felt built to last, but the end bit that you plug in to devices to charge seemed to stop working, it required you to hold a device/cable at a specific angle to charge it.
