A maximum output of 60W allows for high-speed charging to a wide range of devices including phones, tablets, and laptops. Pair with an 18W Power Delivery charger (not included) to charge Samsung S10 to 50% in just 30 minutes. PowerLine+ may be the last cable you'll ever need. Proven to last at least 5 times as long as other cables, it boasts a bend tolerance 5 times higher. It is simply one of the most durable cables, ever. We’re so confident in PowerLine III, we are offering a hassle-free replacement for all quality issues. Not for half a year, not for 18 months, but for an entire lifetime. It’s the only cable you will ever need to buy.

Anker's PowerLine III Flow charging cables were designed for one purpose: To survive being twisted, turned, bent, and tangled without fraying, breaking, or tearing. If you've ever experienced the annoyance of realizing your device didn't charge because of the cable — and let's be honest, this always happens at the worst possible time — it's worth the upgrade. The latest generation of PowerLine is designed with a revolutionary internal layout, maintaining the classic Anker durability in a cable that’s slimmer than ever before (when compared with an Anker cable of equal length). Charging cables are an essential tech accessory that most of us rely on dozens of times per day without realizing it. Keeping your device's battery topped up can reduce your reliance on using its "low power mode" or cranking down its screen brightness. Anker's Powerline III Flow charging cables' combination of durability and flexibility are so good that over time, they've become the cord we reach for most often. If your charging cables are on their last legs, or covered in electrical tape, this is the upgrade you need.

Designed to work flawlessly with virtually all USB-C devices including phones, tablets, and laptops. Pair with a 30W USB-C charger to power up your MacBook Air in just over 2 hours. (Charger not included) The PowerLine III Flow cables offer the best features from both styles, with unique properties that take them to a new level. Anker developed an outer case for these cables made out of graphene and silicone, which makes them flexible, durable, and soft. The difference between holding a PowerLine III Flow cable and a braided cord is immediately noticeable, with the latter being a lot rougher and more abrasive. You've probably never thought about how your charging cable feels but the PowerLine III Flow might change your mind. Using these materials also allowed Anker to make this cable slimmer than previous versions without sacrificing durability. For another option, consider the best HDMI cables. Putting the Anker PowerLine III Flow Cable to the Test

At this point, I suppose I am juggling bend lifespan, cost, and how the warranties factor in and potentially “cover up” the other two former factors. While there are certainly many budget options when shopping for lightning cables, most aren't worth buying. Perhaps the most important thing you want to keep in mind is the longevity of the cable you're considering. If your cable breaks or loses its ability to pair with your device after just a few weeks, it's not worth the low price. There is a sweet spot between the most premium options and the mid-range products. Notably, I am looking for differences between USB-A/USB-C, rubber/nyalon-braided, and the varying lengths of cables.All this bending robustness discussion is really about is how fast does the resistance increase, and therefore Voltage drop increase, occurs over usage. Them Ohm’s law, the voltage drop across a cable is fixed (at time of manufacturing bit increases with use) a property of the cable, but that fixed absolute Voltage drop becomes a relatively smaller impact at higher voltage, therefore the cable matters less for 60W 20V than it does for say 10W 5V, which is why it matters more to use a shorter Type A than a PD 60W C cable. PowerLine III’s curved, stainless-steel edges are designed to perfectly match the exterior of high-end phones and laptops.
