        No, thank you! Just purchased one. :)

    • McFly on 10/07/2016 - 15:21

      Yes, but the non-braided cable is also non-compliant.

      AFAIK my deal is still the cheapest (not to mention available!) 3.1 Gen1 and compliant alternatives.

      • magic8ballgag on 10/07/2016 - 16:33

        Non-compliant according to whom? I personally own the non-braided version and have tested it with no issues.

        • 2025 on 10/07/2016 - 18:27

          Will it transfer at usb 3 speeds or is it limited to USB 2.0 speeds?

        • [Deactivated] on 10/07/2016 - 19:04

          @bigjezza:
          He said 3.1 gen1 so yes 3.0 speeds.

          @McFly:

          Well essentially it's the same cable as the master-approved version and it's a quarter of the price of the deal you posted.

        • McFly on 10/07/2016 - 21:13

          essentially it's the same cable

          Obviously it isn't. That's the point.
          If you're happy to risk it, go ahead. Chances are you'll be fine…

        • magic8ballgag on 10/07/2016 - 22:14

  • EightImmortals on 10/07/2016 - 13:23

    So how long before everything becomes USB type C? I don't think I've seen anything that has it yet?

    • Trantor on 10/07/2016 - 13:25

      think the new Samsungs will for one.

    • aragornelessar on 10/07/2016 - 14:41

      Nexus line of phones have it. Next Samsung Note will have it. MacBook has it. And high end motherboards are already shipping with it.

    Thanks Op. 2 lightning cables bought.

  • corbz on 10/07/2016 - 14:48

    Why wouldn't they make these USB 3.0. Only the non-braided ones are 3.0

    • [Deactivated] on 10/07/2016 - 15:05

      I guess because most phones at the moment still only have usb 2.0 despite having type c. The only exception is probably htc 10.

    • McFly on 10/07/2016 - 15:24

      Because they can save probably about 2c per cable by not including required wires, etc.

      • McFly on 10/07/2016 - 20:06

        Whoever neg'd me - yeah, you're probably right, 2c is a bit of an exaggeration!

    • belbo on 14/07/2016 - 14:14

      Am I missing something? The specs for the braided 2m say "Plug: Standard USB2.0 A Male to Double-Sided USB3.1" (as per op info). Are you saying you lose some of the 3.1 benefits if the other end of the cable is USB2.0 ?

      • McFly on 14/07/2016 - 14:53

        Think of this as a USB 2.0 cable with a new fangled connector at the other end.
        See my deal above for a faster one.

        • belbo on 14/07/2016 - 15:18

          Thanks. I've seen your deal. Its also about 3x the price of the 1m cable here. So what are you missing out on if you go with this usb2 one - is it just the data transfer speed - or do you lose the fast charging and / or other benefits? I'm mainly interested in using these for charging. Basically have 2 that came with my Nexus 6P but then prob need one for charging at work, one for charging in the car and maybe one as a spare/ to take on holidays.

        • McFly on 14/07/2016 - 20:46

          Yes, just speed - comparing with the braided cable (which is fully USB compliant.)
          My cable seems to be better quality though. YMMV

        • belbo on 14/07/2016 - 23:11

          @McFly: Thanks for the info. Yep - am looking at the braided ones - and really just for charging. I can use the original that came with the 6P for data transfer. Also, I suppose I should have read the link to the Benson Leung comments on Amazon - "In conclusion, this is a Good cable for your Nexus 6P/5X to use with all of your older USB Type-A chargers, hubs, and PCs. It also works great with Chromebook Pixel 2015 and will work great on USB Type-C spec compliant devices to come! However, it is NOT a SuperSpeed USB 3.1 5gbps cable."

        • McFly on 15/07/2016 - 00:38

          Actually, just remembered 5X/6P only have USB 2 speed anyway…

        • belbo on 15/07/2016 - 09:19

          @McFly: Interesting. Just read up and you're right about that. So these cables basically provide all the same features (that the phone is capable of) as provided by the original cable, and the point by Leung is basically irrelevant, in relation to 6P and 5X in any event. (ie "However, it is NOT a SuperSpeed USB 3.1 5gbps cable"). Maybe this year's phones will be 3.1 speed capable. I bought 3 x 2m braided. And also bought a couple of the adapters - to use with my portable Panasonic/ Eneloop battery packs (which I got for about $10 at DS on an OzB deal about a year ago). Nice deal. Thanks OP.

    I never buy anything from Banggood ever again. I had order 2 Xiaomi Chargers from them and they sent me a fake tracking number. Over one and half month, the items still haven't reached my place. I contact them so many times and got the same answer

    "We checked that your order was shipped at 6th June. And normally it may take 7-25 business days (not including weekends) to your country.

    Could you please wait few days more for it? If you haven't received it within the estimated time of arrival, please contact us. We will do our best to solve this problem for you.

    Sorry for the inconvenience and looking forward to hearing from you."

    So I have to contact Paypal for a dispute claim

    Cheer guys

      These guys are dodgy as. Their cables fall apart within a few months, even their mfi lightning cables. I would look at buying cables elsewhere. They are a pain in the event of warranty claim. They want you to take pictures and make YouTube videos for them. Ensure you pay via paypal if you need to buy and make a PayPal claim if you get any cheek from them.

      Their 18month warranty is worth less than the cardboard paper it's written on.

    • rgr on 10/07/2016 - 17:15

      highly likely they drop ship from china i.e. they manage the orders/take the money but don't hold goods

    • quog on 11/07/2016 - 19:37

      Ordered lots from them, usually get in about 9 business days.

  • CVonC on 10/07/2016 - 17:05

      Nope. You can use an adapter but probably easier and cheaper to buy micro usb cables anyway.

  • ytm on 10/07/2016 - 18:36

    I bought these BlitzWolf braided cables last time they were on Ozbargain from Banggood. Thinking the braided cables would last longer with the kids but they were a miserable failure. Yes the braided part stood up to the rough treatment from the kids but the end connections were crap and either snapped off or the glue didn't hold. Bought 4 and at least 3 are now busted.

    • bogak on 10/07/2016 - 21:25

      Buy cables from Google if you want good quality cables.

    • belbo on 15/07/2016 - 09:23

      Its hard to judge the quality based on your comment. I suppose if you give them to your kids and let them try to pull them apart with "rough treatment" they're going to succeed. However, that is not the usual use case.

  • ezza on 11/07/2016 - 19:51

    Will this work on a macbook 12 for charging??
    Ie - plug USB-C into macbook, usb end into an iPhone USB end bit?

    • McFly on 11/07/2016 - 22:53

      What?
      One of the many reasons not to buy an iphone is that it doesn't have a USB port like every other phone on the planet.
      You need a USB C to lightning cable (do they even make those?) or eg. a USB C to A adapter.

    • [Deactivated] on 12/07/2016 - 09:16

      Won't work, this is usbA-usbC, if you want to change your iPhone with macbook you need usbC-lightning, or usbA-lightning with a usbA to usbC adaptor.

    Bought some of these in the last sale, great cables. Love the longer ones listed in the comments too, and the colour choices are pretty snazzy. Would definitely recommend, and the mrs loves the pink cords.

  • sirs2k on 12/07/2016 - 10:28

    What does reversible mean?

    • krazynayba on 12/07/2016 - 17:07
      +3

      The USB C connector is reversible, meaning you can plug it into your phone's port (if it has USB C) regardless of whether the connector is facing up or down. This is opposed to micro usb which only goes in one way :)

  • Black Hole on 12/07/2016 - 12:16

    Hopefully these cables are what they claims to be. Last time I have bought 3 and they are all charged max at around 1.5amp.
