Price

Pros:

  • "This cable is a safe bet for a good value especially if you use the Honey app and wait for the price dip."
  • "The reason for this review is to let others know that this will not properly charge a 16\" Macbook Pro. Still a great deal, and I can find plenty of uses for the cables."
  • "The cables are great for charging phones, it works with super fast charging of Samsung devices, and I've charged my laptop with it as well with no issues, the transfer speeds are okay considering the price point of this cable."
  • "I recommend this cable, even if they stop working after a year, you can just get a new one since they're so cheap!"
  • "It is worth the money guys."
  • "Super disappointing to pay a premium for the Anker brand, only to have the cable die in less than 2 months."
  • "The cable is long, durable, and chargest SO FAST. There's no reason not to get this cable if you're looking to get a new charging cable."

Cons:

  • "I wish they were cheaper, because I'm cheap, but they work better than most of the cheaper cables so I'll keep buying them."
  • "Unfortunately Anker cable quality has declined, one of two cables is defective, intermittent, will return via Amazon."
  • "I bought this item to power and send data to an external monitor I needed a distance away from my computer. When plugged in, it did not send data to external monitor."
  • "Both cables charges then stops then charges again multiple times when you plug them in."
  • "I've had this set of cables for a year and they were never great, but at this point they won't even maintain a connection."
  • "When plugged into my MacBook pro, it intermittently switches between charging and disconnecting every 5 seconds."
  • "Anker cables have the longest lifespan in my history of iPhone cable purchases."

Build Quality

Pros:

  • "This cable is Anker's typical excellent build quality. The braiding of the jacket is perfect, and the ends are finished with tough yet svelte strain relief."
  • "The cable is quite supple and pleasant to use, but it does have a bit of memory. That means it tends to retain the shape it was stored in."
  • "This cable is insane!! It is very fast to charge my iPad Pro and my iPhone 15 Pro! And the best part is that it is very bulky, making it perfect for travel."
  • "The cable is long, thick and well constructed, and all around just a great buy."
  • "The quality of the braiding is great. The cable feels sturdy and is surprisingly 'heavy', which I contribute to the higher power rating."
  • "When looking for cables on Amazon, there's a sea of offerings, but most are of questionable quality. Anker consistently delivers high quality, durable cables."
  • "Anker cables have been my go-to for a few years now, and this cable is definitely a no-brainer if looking for a longer USB C cable!"

Cons:

  • "After a couple weeks it just stop working. I can't use it to charge anything."
  • "As others have mentioned, this cable very quickly went to a state where it flipped from charging to not charging back and forth."
  • "Bought the 2 pack and the first cable worked great for about a month then super fast charging on s23+ became dodgy."
  • "The cable although braided, is a little bit on the thin side, which makes me question durability."
  • "There is not cable fatigue or fraying, it's a matter of how well it connects to the USB C port."
  • "I own an Anker 737 power bank and the new Prime 100w GaN wall charger. The Anker 737 can show the input wattage on its screen. The cable the 737 came with (marked as 100w) charged at a 92w average while both of these braided cables (also marked as 100w) charged at a 79w average."
  • "Anker makes some of the best technology products I’ve ever used. These are well built and strong and durable cables."
