The reversible connector is a game-changer, ensuring that I never have to fumble around trying to plug it in the right way. It's the small things that make a big difference! What truly sets this cable apart is its durability. The aramid fiber reinforcement makes it incredibly robust, lasting 5 times longer than other USB cables. This is especially important for someone like me who's always on the go, tossing cables in and out of bags. The added 56kΩ pull-up resistor ensures both safety and reliability, giving me peace of mind whenever I plug in.
Anker's commitment to quality is evident in the PowerLine USB-C cable. The variety of lengths available (I opted for the 6ft) provides flexibility for different scenarios. With the worry-free lifetime warranty, Anker has once again proven why it's a go-to brand for tech accessories. If you're in need of a reliable, durable, and efficient USB C cable, look no further—Anker has you covered! ⚡️👍
I was contacted by an Anker rep (and I didn't even reach out 1st). As I was saying I normally have great experience with Anker products and had just chalked it up to getting a bad cable. The rep had Anker send me a red powerline USB-C cord and this one works great!! When I needed a USB-C cord I knew that if you buy a cheap one you could ruin your device so Anker popped into my mind as quality power/charging hardware. The black USB-C cord wasn't good but the replacement is solid and the braided cable is made well. Even if Anker hadn't reached out to me I would have still tried another Anker product. Thanks Anker for making the situation right!!!
I usually have a great experience with all my Anker products. The USB C cord fit perfectly and felt like it was made out of high quality material. It worked great for about a month and then one day I plugged my LG V20 in the charge and nothing happened. (It eventually started to charge but I had a message on my phone asking if I was using an original cord. It charged but the quick charge wasn't working. It was super slow) I unplugged it and kept trying to get it to plug in. It was like something had slipped out of place and wouldn't allow the USB C to go all the way in. I honestly thought it was my phone and not the cord because of the other great Anker purchases that I had no problem with. I tried the USB C cord that came with my phone and it fit perfectly and charged the phone up like it should. The reason that I purchased the Anker USB C cord was to get a longer cord. The one that comes with the phone is only about 3 feet long.But it works, now I'm on the search for a new USB C cord.
About 2 days after I posted my last review, an Anker representative contacted me and apologized for the defective cable. They wanted to confirm my shipping address so they could get me out a replacement. I agreed.
Fast forward another 3 days and I had my replacement USB cable in-hand.
The verdict: It works perfectly. And the data connection seems to be a bit quicker than the other cable that it was replacing (the one mentioned in my original review). I say that subjectively mind you, but it does seem to be loading my apps via ADB about 2x quicker than with the other cable, which is a pleasant surprise.
5-stars for Anker support.
3-stars for the cable itself (only because of quality control, since I received a defective one the first time. Otherwise it's a 5-star cable).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ORIGINAL REVIEW (1 STAR):
I'll cut straight to the chase: Good luck making a data connection with this cable.
It works okay for charging, but will only make a data connection with your device if you bend it at an aggressive angle while it's plugged into the USB port. I'm using a Google Pixel C Tablet, 2 of them actually, both brand new from the box. Both have the same issue with this cable. This is a pretty annoying issue and pretty much renders the cable useless for anything other than charging. It took me 45 minutes of troubleshooting ADB drivers and all sorts of other issues for me to discover that the USB cable was the problem, despite it providing a charge to the device. This was at 5:30am after working 20 hours on completing some software before a deadline. Again, super annoying.
To the cable's credit, it does work as long as you hold it at an angle (either torwards or away from you). So it gets a single star for that.
Anker, get it together please. This was supposed to be the "upgraded" one. Bah. This connector looseness is also most likely the cause for it burning people's USB-C ports as well.
You want a USB-C cable, buy a different one.
EDIT: I just got a "Cable Matters USB 2.0 Type C (USB-C) to Type A (USB-A) Cable in Black 3.3 Feet" cable for literally half the price of the Anker cable and it works flawlessly and makes a very snug connection. Until Anker fixes their issues, I'd recommend you go with that one.
