[Apple MFI Certified] Honeywell 8-Pin Apple Lightning to USB Sync and Charger Cable Cord w/ Ultra-Compact Connector Head (3.2Ft)

This "product" is actually two different products. I've had both, so I'll review both here.##### Micro-USB "i2" Cable #####PROS:* Device-end color indicates charge status. Flashing red = charge. Flashing blue = trickle. Solid blue = powered but no current.* Strain relief is better, molded with the cable ends.* Still a smaller connector plastic than some cables I have.* Very low costCONS:* None that I have found yet.I love this cable, and it's easy to find. If I could leave a separate review for this cable, it would be 5-star.##### MFI Lightning Cable #####PROS:* Compact cable ends. No interference when plugging multiple USB devices. No interference with phone cases.* Non-grippy coating. It doesn't bind up on other cords and doesn't grab dirt/dust.* Durable. This has been my go-to cable since I got it. I plug and unplug it every day, both ends. I take it on bike rides for charging while GPSing, and I use it at my PC.* Works. I have no cycling of power like some cables do when plugged in. Syncing is fast (no packet loss). No hangs with media copies.CONS:* Strain relief does not fit snugly to the housing.* Strain relief is basically heat-shrink tube, and it eventually tears (6 months)* Strain relief does not come out far enough from housingI've had three of these. They always work, without bliping on/off. None of the "unsupported adapter" errors.Transfer speeds are normal, and it carries full charge current just fine.Each one lasted about 12 months, and the strain relief failed. The inside wires started showing, so I threw it out and replaced it before it failed. This was with being a good little user and only unplugging by pulling the connector. If I had pulled the cable, it would not have lasted very long.I have had many cables fail sooner, or simply be unreliable. I have had a couple that seem to last longer. The price on these is good enough to be worth replacing periodically. Plus, it's nice to have a "normal" cable that is in a color other than white or black.I've moved to Anker and K-Ble brands because they last much longer.

There are so many lightning cables on the market now a days that it is impossible to know if you are getting a good charge cable that will last you a long time or if it arrived already broken. We all know that Apple Genuine Lightning Charge Cables are going to work the best, but they are also the most expensive.I have tried many different products of off brand lightning cables and I have found that if you spend at least $10 for a normal size lightning cable, you are going to be getting a cable that will last you a long time.The lightning cable that is supposedly made by Honeywell which is a respectable company is actually made under a license agreement by a company I have never heard of. The cable is made in china and the company seems like it is a chinese company as well.The cable works in syncing and charging my iphone with no problems. The downside of this cable is how it feels. The cable does not feel like it will last you a very long time hence the price of being under $7. Like I said before, if you want a good cable you need to spend at least $10 for something that will last longer than a day or even a month.But, if you like being cheap then this cable will meet your needs.If you found this helpful, click 'yes'.
