Anker is like 9/10 on quality and 9/10 on price. It's by far the best value choice. It's not junk, every cable is well made and the ends are all nicely beveled to avoid wear points. They each came with a Velcro cable tie. Anker puts it's name on everything (tastefully) and I hear great things about their customer service so that name seems to mean a lot to them. The varying lengths is nice so you don't have too much cable for things that get plugged right in and also so you have a few feet of room for things like tablets to be functional plugged in while you sit near an outlet. I look down at my USB cables when I have to wiggle them to get the charging to start. They're not my Anker cables. Those don't do that. I will say that they do die if you yank the cord from a device that's plugged in (like if you step on the cord or some such accident). I'd rather have the cord break than the device however. I've never had any issues not related to extreme tension. You don't want a USB adapter so strong it never breaks because it'd rip the connector right out of your device. In this "made in China" world of consumer electronics we live in, Anker is a name you can recommend for quality and value across their product line.

Connector Is Bad
By Another Customer on Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2019
I have a set of UBIO charger and cable set from Costco. The set comes with a 2-port 2.4A home charger, a 2-port 2.4A car charger, and two 6-ft USB cables. Lately, the UBIO is taking a long time to charge my phone. I use a Klein ET900 to check for the voltage. I also bought a new Fonken 2A charger and this 5-cable Anker cable set to see if the UBIO is wearing out or not. I pick the Fonken becasue it is UL listed. The UBIO is also UL listed. I only get the reading from the 6ft Anker cable using the 2 chargers. The Anker cable does have a lower resistance compared to the UBIO cable. About 0.10 Ohms different for the 6 ft cable. It looks like the Fonken charger will increase the voltage for higher resistance. The UBIO will try to maintain 5V. The Anker cable is a little bit thicker from what I can see. The Anker cable has less resistance than the UBIO. Maybe the UBIO is wearing out. The Anker cables seem well made. It is nice to have the cables in different lenght. But there is a big problem with these Anker cables. The 2 hooks on the connector are too sharp and too tall. I can push the cable to my phone but it is very difficult to pull the cable out. The hooks are really hooked to the two slots in the jack. I have read the negative reviews saying this cable is damaging their phones. I guess when they try to pull the cable out, they pull the jack out and damage the phone. I have some pictures. I end up using a needle filer to round up the sharp hooks. So, they won't hook to the slots in the jack too tight. These cables do not really charge my phone any faster. The connecter is not well made. I spent an hour filing the hooks to round them up. 2 Stars
