Amazon Basics Micro USB to USB-A 2.0 Cable, Nylon Braided Cord, 480Mbps Transfer Speed, Gold-Plated, 3 m, Dark Grey

A great quality cable.I bought this as a charging cable for a micro PC (PC on a stick) which requires 5v 2.1a to run and this cable has worked flawlessly with a 12w power adapter.For some reason I always have a preconceived idea about brands such as Amazon Basics, Tesco Value, Asda Smart Price etc - it feels like because the cost is low, that the quality will be bad.This is not the case with any of the Amazon Basic products I have tried - all have been of a similar quality and performed as well as named brand products. In fact, I’d rate their cables as better than the one that ship with mobile phones.Overall, the cable feels very durable, is working well and was an absolutely bargain price - very happy with this purchase!

I know what you all think when you see "AmazonBasics". Cheap, simple, boring, low-quality, temporary solutions.Sometimes, that might be right, but definitely not this time! These cables are very nicely designed. The braiding is high quality nylon and doesn't feel like it will come off any time soon. The micro USB end of the cable gets securely held in my device with the two prongs on the bottom of the connector, unlike some cables which either don't have them, or they are very low quality.These cables are nice and long, meaning I can have them plugged in while using my phone in bed or at my desk. It's also helpful when I have my power bank in my bag and want to charge my phone at the same time.These cables seem to hold up against everything I throw at them, including QC3.0 or Quick Charge 3.0 which some cheaper cables don't support.I would genuinely recommend these to anyone looking for a cheap set of cables which are great quality.

I use this cable to charge my wireless mouse, sometimes though I have to charge while I'm using it. It's probably not the most ideal cable for that scenario as it's quite a stiff cable. That however could be seen as a good thing depending on your application. It's got a bit of heft to it so feels good quality. If you're looking for a phone charger or perhaps something you leave plugged in this would be perfect. For a mouse though just note its stiffness.I'd recommend it for applications other than mouse charging.

You can tell its decent quality as soon as you feel thr material. Very good

I have purchased a few amazon basic leads. They do last me for a few years.

Thought my kindle fire was wearing out as wouldn't fully charge. Bought a new plug but still the same. As a last resort bought a new cable, which solved the problem. Fits snuggly into port to make a good connection, which turned out to be the problem with old wire. The cable is a good length and is made of a stiff sturdy material. Only downside is as it is quite stiff it is quite bulky for transporting in handbag, etc. Notwithstanding this am very pleased with purchase and would recommend to other customers.

My old 1 metre (3.3 ft) cable was on the fritz, so I tried eBay where a bewildering array of cheap wires exist - no luck there then.So I tried Amazon instead, I nearly struck out with a Mophie cable (bad reviews on reliability), I was about to give up when I came across the Amazon -not so- Basics collection.These wires are excellent. A DOUBLE braided cable that is both thick and flexible with HIGH quality plugs that STAY soldered to the wire (Mophie👎).Available in 30cm (1ft), 90cm (3ft), 180 cm (6ft) & 300cm (10ft) lengths.Other plugs USB-C / Lightning are also available.The only negative was that I had to order 7 of these little (6ft) beauties so that I could actually place the order, that wasn't a problem as they were VERY competitively priced making the order cost about the same as a SINGLE mophie cable, cha-ching.VERY HAPPY. Will purchase again!

Usually i love amazon basics stuff and i have had a few leads and been very happy, However i did have one of these melt when it wasn't even plugged into anything, by that i mean the larger end was plugged into a hub but the small end wasn't, i then started getting weird messages from my pc saying that a usb device was drawing too much power, i eventually just moved the lead and it was extremely hot and the red end was melted
