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
firm, flexible considering it's steel sleeved, and my wife has the impression this cable charges faster. Of course, that's because *this* one gets plugged in _there_ instead of over _here_ but she's happy, I'm happy. No need to get technical, eh?
(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 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.
