Micro USB Cable (6.6ft, 3.3ft, 1ft) - 5 Pack by Aukey



Micro USB cables. 5 years ago I had one just one cable - it charged my 2nd generation Kindle. Now, I am charging all sorts of stuff all over the place with them - fans, desk lamps, Bluetooth headsets and, of course, phones and tablets. They have gone from a curiosity to a necessity.

Sadly, the ones provided by the manufacturers to charge Bluetooth headsets or portable speakers are often very flimsy and in my household we have had a half dozen or more fail in the last two or three months. Plus, the cords provided by the manufacturers are not very long and sometimes they don't even allow you to transfer data to your phone or tablet - they just charge and then they die an early death.

Left to right: 1 two meter cord (6.6 feet), 2 one meter cords
(3.3 feet) and two 0.3 meter cords (1 foot)

There are five cords in this package: 1 two meter cord (6.6 feet), 2 one meter cords (3.3 feet) and two 0.3 meter cords (1 foot). They are an excellent choice to replace your dead cords. Not only do they charge, they transfer data.

This variety pack allows you to put different lengths of cord where they are needed. The longest ones allow a passenger to do thing like use a smart phone to consult Google maps in the car while it is charging (Try that on one of those little cords that came with a Bluetooth headset!).

I rate this product 5 stars out of 5.

Note: I received a free set of these cords so that I could evaluate them in order to write a review. 

As of the time of this review this multi-pack set cost $12.99 on Amazon. Click here to check current pricing: Micro USB Cable (6.6ft, 3.3ft, 1ft) - 5 Pack by Aukey
