Product description

Product Description

New Design Released January 2015

Compatible with smartphones, tablets and satnavs from Samsung, HTC, Google, Sony, TomTom, Garmin etc. It allows max speed charging of the Asus Transformer T100, Dell Venue, OnePlus One, when used with the original charger or a universal charger built to the correct spec.

20 AWG gauge copper cable for charging - This is the lowest resistance currently available and is significantly lower than standard 24AWG or 26AWG used by most 3rd party cables - lower AWG indicates lower resistance and potentially faster charging. 28AWG cable is used for data transfer at upto 480MBps.

TPE casing - A normal PVC cable with this much copper would be quite stiff, TPE allows the cable to be as flexible as a thinner cable, is more environmentally friendly and less slippery.

Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 - When used with a compatible phone/tablet and charger, this cable allows faster charging than the USB 2.0 spec allows.

Even when using this cable, charging speed will still be limited by the maximum speed your device supports and the maximum power your USB socket is capable of outputting, use one capable of 2A or more for best results. Using this cable will not increase charging speed in all cases.

We also offer a data blocking version which allows faster charging when plugged into a computer or other data USB socket (eg car stereo) or a 'universal' mains/car charger not designed for micro usb charging, and also prevents viruses / data hacking when charging from an unknown USB socket. Search for PortaPow Data Block.

Should be the standard charging cables!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 July 2015

These cables do indeed make a difference and the charging speed is noticeably different. My phones charging monitor indicated that it got an *average* charge of 1.8A during the 40 minutes charge from a 2.1A charging socket which is much higher than what I had been getting from normal usb cables (about 1.2A-1.4A average)

One point to note: these cables are thicker than normal (since they're 20AWG) and have consequently slightly thicker connectors. This means that if you a cover around your phone that has a cutout for microUSB connector, these cables may not be able to make a proper connection. I have to take my phone out of its cover to charge it but its well worth the quick charge!

Better than my original cable.....

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 March 2015

Okay, I originally reviewed this in frustration as I could not get my Nexus 7 to sync with my laptop.
I have since been in to check settings and found an error with the driver software. After an update and a fix, my cables are now allowing it to sync perfectly, and actually seem to have a better fit than the original. Because the wire isn't as rigid as my original either, I have found it a lot more user friendly. The problem with the original lead was that the connector was working loose from the wire where it was being bent with constant use.

Charges quickly on both phone and nexus. Would buy again.

So far it's the nicest USB cable I have ever used.
They are most of all good quality and thickness from a brand I trust.
It feels like function before design and yet they are very pretty to look at.
I ordered the 1M lenght and this one feels very nice and it's bug free.
It feeds my Raspberry py and other devices that are even more power ungry.
The cable never fails, never warms up and never got wear marks so far.

These cables work but I can't say I've noticed any difference in charging speed. They are of good quality though.

As with many micro USB cables the clips are flimsy, connection wobbly. Does support qualcomm fast charge though which is useful.

In the pack of two, one worked perfectly while the other needs wiggling into exactly the right position to work.

Somewhat frustrating.
