I had been a regular customer and fan of Anker products (Multi-port chargers) since past 12-13 years. Had been buying from US based portals, when the brand wasn't officially incarnated in India.I have bought so many products (at least 20) and none have failed till date, even the oldest ones.I had bought this braided cable without even a single fickle although the competition has grown tough in shape of amazonbasics and Spigen (one more favorite brand).The cable has become daily driver for my components for charging in my office. The charging speeds are great, though it's a USB 2.0 cable so, you will get compatible data speeds.It's slightly pricey compared to local cables who break in no time, but, I had paid for the quality and am enjoying it. I know it will payback more than it's cost by it's longevity.
