One of the biggest issues we deal with in this new tech filled world is USB cables breaking, burning out or just plain old stop working on us, we all been there in that boat before where your phone or tablet is on 1% and you desperately plug your USB cable in just for it to do nothing. Now a good percentage of us run out to our local dollar store and buy 3 or 4 of them while others order the cheapest ones they can find online, hey we will do anything to get our device back up and charged won't we? What we don't realize is sometime by going cheap we end up paying more in the long run, most of those cheap cables we buy end up damaging our device or even worst melt and catch fire. Then there's the 10 pack you bought online for $3.99 where your lucky if two out of ten work, and you really don't want to go buy a replacement from your phone carrier or major retail stores. I spent time working for Apple support and remember people complaining about their lighting cables breaking on them 30-60 days after they bought their devices and not wanting to pay $30 dollars for a replacement cable, quite a few cables are made very thin and delicate. So in my time I have bought countless replacement cables for many different devices, but there one brand of cables that i fell in love with and have been very dependable day in and day out. I came across Anker powerline+ USB cables, not only are they thick well made cable with kevlar woven in to the double nylon braid but they are very flexible and charge my devices very well. I have to say these cables are design to last and take a beating, when i was working for UBER I use to refer this brand of cables out to my drivers. Now if these cables could with stand the abuse that passenger put them through they will hold up to the everyday use that we would put them through. I carry three Anker powerline+ USB cables in my tech bag, I have a 6FT micro USB, 6FT lighting cable and a USB type C cable in my bag. These cables come in there own little leather pouch that holds the cable in with a Velcro strap so they are always nice and neat in your bag, drawer or how ever you decide to carry them. These cables also come in a few different colors, red, grey, gold and white. In my household i have a Anker multi port charger with a fast charge port, so i have a red one on the fast charge port, gold lighting cable, a grey type C and a grey micro USB set up so my friends and family can charge their device when they come over. These cables do come in different sizes of 3, 6 and 10FT cables, and they start around $10.99 in price and go up from there.
