Product Description
We’ve all dealt with fussy charging cables that won’t charge correctly unless put in the perfect position. Made from durable aluminum housing with a steel exoskeleton, Logiix Piston Connect Steel Braided Cables eliminate that problem and protect your cable from fraying, bending, and breaking Read More
I bought this product in 2016 and it started showing issues few years after I bought it.
Like it would not charge my iPad until I re-inserted it like 3-5 times.
Also, reversible USB part never really worked out for me.
It died in 2021 when I dropped my iPad with it in it, the lightning connector broke off.
So I'll give it 3 stars for sturdiness.
one failed after nearly no use, and the other after a few months of light use. The failures were not of an obvious mechanical nature, something subtle failed electrically...
The universal direction USB won't keep contact with the USB port anymore. So it won't ever get a connection. I really liked the cord but now it's useless. Also both the silver shields around the connectors slid off from the moment I got it. The epoxy they used didn't hold.
These cables failed and have a faulty connection after less than a year. They also have a flimsy plastic shroud around the connector that the adhesive deteriorates and causes the plastic to fall off. VERY crappy quality for a product that markets itself upon quality.
(re-posting my earlier comment as a review)
Purchased both the microUSB-to-USBA and auxiliary cables and have used them for a year (the previous drops were in September and October 2016). The microUSB cable works great with no problems so far. The auxiliary cable works normally, but the cable tends to twist and tangle itself unless it is spread out. Not sure why that is, I have treated both cables in the same manner and have coiled them similarly, yet the auxiliary cable self-tangles and the USB cable works like brand new.
The one thing that the Logiix USB cable has that I haven't seen elsewhere is that both of the connectors (the micro-B USB terminal and the USB-A terminal) are able to fit in their respective receptacles and work properly no matter which direction the connector was plugged in. The mysterious yet infamous phenomenon of USB cables requiring three tries to plug properly (despite only having two possible orientations) quietly slinks away to bother other nice people. The way it works is the USB-A connector (which usually has one half open and the other half solid) only has a divider in the middle which houses the pins, and the micro-B USB connector is shaped more like a diamond to fit in either orientation.
I received these godlike cables in the September 2016 drop; when I re-joined eagerly the next month I was beyond despair when I discovered the cables were normal cables which only fit one way. If you so choose to join this drop, I wish you some amount of luck so you too can stop fretting about silly things like the orientation of a USB connector.
These cables work great and you won't go wrong with this drop. However, my personal favorites (the latest in the everlasting struggle to find the perfect USB cable) are cables from ANKER. High quality cables for low quality price. I recommend you try out a cable or two, and am open to any recommendations for better cables!
I game, I have kittens and cat, I see metal cables, think good, withstands these things, drops tablet with cord in once, breaks the connector part inside of the tablet... FeelsBadMan
I don't put much stress on my cables, but I've run into problems with other assorted charging cables, including ones like Volutz which are supposed to be known for durability. The only thing wrong with it is that the connection loosened over time, but that could easily be down to my worn-down old phone or just one of the realities of Type C.
I now have a phone with a different connector, so I gave it to my significant other. So far, no complaints.
