Getting the most from it
The 1.8m length gives you more freedom to position your phone while it charges, whether you are using it from bed or keeping it close at a desk. With two cables in the pack, you can keep one where you charge most often and place the other in a separate room or use it as a spare. The USB-A connector suits a charging port or power source with a USB-A socket, the Lightning end connects to a compatible device.
The braided nylon exterior is designed for regular handling, and the cable has been tested to withstand up to 12,000 bends. MFi certification supports compatibility with Lightning devices. The cable also supports data transfer, so it can be used to sync a connected device as well as charge it. Buyers often praise the cables’ durability, though feedback on reliability and charging performance is mixed, some report that a cable stopped working early or that charging slowed over time.
In the box
The pack contains two Anker USB-A to Lightning cables, each 1.8m long. Having two makes it straightforward to set up charging in separate spots at home rather than moving one cable each time.
