OtterBox USB-A to USB-C Cable, 2M - Black

We needed another long cable for charging. I use this in my craft room so it can strech to wherever I need it. I recommend charges well.

This review is for OtterBox Premium USB-A to USB-C Cable, 3M - Dark ASH The color says dark ash, but its pretty much black. Its 2 meters so approximately 6 feet long and it works well. The cable comes with a little rubber tie that is pretty difficult to maneuver but it works well once it is on. I did struggle with it to take it off and put it back on when I wanted to make the cable longer/shorter, but it works well. I probably prefer velcro ties more though, but its appreciated that it came with it. I charged a samsung galaxy phone with its original charger brick and the cord was able to fast charge the phone. Awesome! It also seems to charge an ipad mini 6 fine but slower due to me using a charger brick that is smaller than what it originally came with. Price wise, its pretty typical that charging cords that have reinforcing along the cord (not just plastic casing) and 2 meters long are more expensive. The price doesnt surprise me at almost $27. But time will tell if this cord holds up to the bending etc.

This is a high-quality USB-A to USB-C cable, and at 2 meters it should be long enough for most applications. It feels very durable, since the cords itself is thick, and the ends have a reinforced hard plastic shell around them. It is definitely reminiscent of otterbox cases. I tried to bend it 3000 times, but only got to about 1000 and gave up because my fingers hurt. So, this cable is more durable than I am!

Both the cable and connectors are very strong and durable, if you have a high use environment, this is going to work perfectly for you.

Fast charging capable, and high data rate

This cable appears to be very flexible and sturdy with good strain relief. It transfered photos very quickly from my samsung phone to my desktop. When connected to a fast charging power supply, my phone went into fast charge mode as expected and completed charging very quickly. Overall, its a very good cable.

This cable is nice and thick and sturdy, and I love that it comes with a Velcro cable tie attached at the end. The worst part about using any cable is the fact that it needs to be wrapped up when you are done using it (at least for me it does). Having the cable tie already affixed to the end makes it super easy to keep it organized! I also love how the connector is big enough for me to grab it firmly so I can easily plug and unplug it. At 6.6, the length is perfect for my needs. Again, having that cable tie at the end makes all the difference in the world. Even if it is a bit too much cord for some places, I can keep the unused portion wrapped up. I have added photos comparing this USB-A to USB-C cable to the USB-C to USB-C cable that came with my Apple iPad Pro. The Apple cable is short, skinny, and difficult for me to grab. The connector on the Otterbox is so comfortable, while the Apple connector actually hurts my fingertips a little. The only downside is that one end of this cable (USB-A) is somewhat older technology and plugs into a power source that will not charge as fast. Since USB-C is newer and most Apple products (ie: iPhone, Apple Watch) do not even include a power source nowadays, this will help to charge our devices with the equipment we have on hand.

Love this cable! I can actually use my devices when I have them charging thanks to the length (2M) but it’s not so long that it gets in the way. The braided nylon cable seems like it would last longer than other cables. The ends are well-reinforced well past the connection and don’t look likely to fray after repeated uses. Even with the length, I don’t see a difference in charging time, but I didn’t actually test the times. It comes with a piece that holds the cable together when rolled – I like it better than Velcro because it doesn’t stick to anything else when I toss it in the drawer. I highly recommend it.

The Otterbox USB to USB-C cable is build well and everything is tight. The cable joint where is meets the USB ends are reinforced and slightly flexible, where most cables fail. The cable worked with all of the power bricks that it was tried with and was able to fast charge a phone with no issues and measured just as well with a USB power gauge. The cable itself seems slightly thicker than most standard cables but close to as flexible. The cable looks quality and the velcro tie is a good way to keep it wound when stored or to clean up the slack. The price is in line with other cables and comes with a brand name that is reliable. Overall, recommended!

great product and I received in due time thanks so much
