Handy pack of 5 Ravpower micro USB cables. You get 4 different lengths, with the longest being 10ft, a fair old distance if you want to use a device while it charges. Obviously it works out better for Prime members on this, but if you're not a member and you're buying other stuff, could use it like an add on item or something. Works out about 70p per cable for Prime subbers.
Includes these lengths 1ft 2x 3ft 1x 6ft 1x10ft
Contains 4 different sizes: 1 ft, 3 ft, 6 ft, 10 ft; they are good valued cables for charging your smartphone (not included iPhone), for transferring files, videos and music
18 Months Warranty: Also You can get 18+12months (if register) and friendly customer service from us
Updated connector: Which is super slim and durable, so they can easily fit almost all the phone case cutouts and lasts longer than others
Fast Charging Speed: 23% faster than the average marketplace counterparts; Compatible with Quick Charge 3.0
Why choose it when you need just one lead? Because you can never have enough leads; 5 pack will suit all your cable requirements at home, in office and on-the-go

Is this to say you voted cold because this cable doesn't fit your device?...

No . Because micro usb cables are not a big deal now like 5 years ago. All pound shops have them .

Yes they do, I bought some a couple of weeks ago, brought them home and plugged my phone in - My PC couldnt recognise the phone, old cable - PC recognises phone. Tried my daughters phone - ditto.
Took the cables back and got a refund; girl at the counter agreed they were rubbish; OK as a charging cable, but useless for data transfer; she had seen loads being returned.

That's because data isn't actually a requirement, some cables are specifically made for charging only. But ignore sam_of_london, I've finally realised he deliberately talks garbage in tech threads. Classic trolling.

You are sort of correct; USB was developed as a data transfer system, charging was secondary; yes, many phone and other mobile device makers included a "charging only" cable (because they are arseholes), but anything sold as a "USB" cable should be capable of data transfer.
What happens with many of these cheap cable makers is, poor manufacturing standards and poor quality control; the machines are badly maintained, so the cables dont always get terminated correctly. The same issue has been happening for decades, I remember getting a parallel port cable that didnt work back in the early 90's; when I opened it up, the terminations were crimped to the insulation - they hadnt stripped it back, so there was no electrical pathway.

I already have loads of them from previous blackberry years and don't buy anymore. All I need is usb C now. I have some new lying around which I bought from Sam,s 99p shop in London . These are individually packed in thick plastic, which work fine with data transfer as well.

The 10ft and 6ft are really the only useful ones.

The shorter cables will be very useful in my home office and at work, so all useful to me and perhaps others!

The shorter cables are ideal for me to use inside the car and for use on my laptop :grin:

Are Sunvalleytek-UK deals not banned from HUKD? I posted this deal last week and was removed.

Maybe at the time they didn't meet the requirements, but now they do.
And I don't understand if there's a good deal, why does something like that need to be highlighted, especially with a decent product.

Save your money and buy the anker cables More expensive but worth every penny Just think about how much money you spent on usb cables last year

Have to disagree about anker quality. They've failed on me more than any brand. Sure they have good customer service which I can't be bothered using on something as cheap as a usb cable, but I don't think their quality control is anything special.

Plus, Anker put their logo on the wrong side, so I always want to put them in upside down when I'm forced to use them at my girlfriend's place.
I bought this exact pack a year ago and they're all still going strong. I've ordered some more to replace the aukey ones that I've had a couple of weeks and two of them already fall out of the slots.
Thanks op

I bought a multi pack of anker cables and don't think they are any better than your average cable after a short amount of use.
Babbler to mahmouddiaa

Agree. These fall apart easily... Their in car cigarette lighter is better than anker though.

Bloody hell. I think I lost 1 short tecknet cable last year and all the others, around 14 in total, seem to work.

30 Sep 17#72
I usually use 5 cables in different rooms of the house and in the car, the Aukey ones the metal micro usb part failed and fell off within 2-3 months and the ailun ones just failed

And yet my old trusty BlackBerry wall adapter USB charger hasn't broken once in over 4 years, still going strong to this day, only needed a microUSB to Type-C and it still works. Cables from these Amazon "European/American retailers" are low cost Chinese rebrands, just have a look at how similar their other products are to the likes of AUKEY, Sumpower, etc.
Utter cobblers. :rage:
