Thanks for activating again needed to vote.. (y)

I bought two of these cables ages ago, one for work one for home. My wife has lost/broken many chargers over the years and finally lost the last spare one we had last month so is now using my work one at home. Happy to report that its still going strong 3 weeks later. Hopefully it lasts 3 years haha! Will be buying two of these again as backups!

That definitely doesn't happen to these. Have one beside me wrapped with velcro and it doesn't stick to the cable at all.

Great company. Great cables. Wouldn't buy anything else.

That doesn't sound right, could be a fault. Contact Anker as they'll deff sort it out. Likely just replace it for you.

Contact Anker via their website. They will 100% send you a new one, I did the same a few weeks ago. Their customer service is excellent.

Not the most common connector but handy to have 1 kicking about. I think the only thing i have that uses this is a gopro 4.

Fair enough if they're nationwide, but it's still going to cost more in fuel getting there + time wasted looking. Unless you're going passed one anyway

I bought a couple of these to keep in mine and my wife's car from my local poundstretcher in Leicestershire. Pretty sure all Poundtretcher stores stock them.

Could do with something much shorter to carry with a power bank, most seem to be 1m or over.

You find it in any Poundstrecher, not only in Sheffield. You may even find it in Poundland.

Unless you happen to live in Sheffield, it's probably easier to get it from China realistically.

Might get this for a Christmas present for myself

I do use Gearbest once in a while and so far none of their products failed on me. But I only buy cheap things and I think twice before ordering something that may cause a hazard.

Voting cold for this reason. Please, more people do the same and stop these dodgy Gearbest posts that are being tolerated by HotUKDeals.

It this usb c?

As far as I am aware, you can use a USB C cable without a resistor, with your 'old' charger. It will work, but not fast charge. If you use it with your 'new' charger, the cable should have a 56 k-ohms resistor, otherwise the charger will attempt fast charge and there is a risk to damage your device. I am not sure if the adaptor has/should have a resistor too. I've just tried a USB C cable without a resistor and with my 'new' charger, it slow charges my Samsung A5 2017 but I did not want to take the risk, so did not leave it to fully charge. Strangely enough, I've tried this with my wife's Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact and hers does not charge at all. Perhaps Sony has some sort of safety feature and does not allow any charge if using a fast charge cable without a resistor.

That's just a rating

TechNet are good as they have the 56 K ohms resistor, while here is not mentioned this. There are 2 TechNet deals on HUKD now. I also have a TechNet and it fast charges. I do not know about these or the other ones mentioned in this post.

I was going to buy until i read about the current, think they'd get quite hot with 40W going through them

Those do not have the greatest of reviews to be fair.

yea always had those in my mind for the kitchen, but never had big enough kitchen to utilise this. Let us see the product once you are done :)

Thanks for the post OP, got some inspiration after checking Amazon.. Got a drill yesterday so I might go one further and install this for a few more quid https://www.amazon.co.uk/Proglam-Electrical-Kitchen-Retractable-Metting/dp/B07N2PK5J3/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?keywords=Proglam+Pull+Pop+Up&qid=1563868133&s=gateway&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExTklVU1kySlhNQ1dQJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMTg1ODkzM1BLREJZRDFSTFdaUSZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNDM4MDEyMUtRSThFMUVCUEU3NiZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX3Bob25lX3NlYXJjaF9hdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl# :D

Saying that, I have no idea if these are permanently on

Thanks for the confirmation!

Hager and MK usb sockets use about 150mW, which works out at about 25p a year. Yes, technically wasteful, but compared with other things it's pretty insignificant

How? AC? DC? Induction? Static? I would never (again) buy a cheap adaptor, but a cable that does not get plugged into the mains is different? I currently use these https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B075TZN431/ref=pe_3187911_185740111_TE_item and they are mediocre in their connection.

Added multiples and got charged delivery for each line. The trick is to add one of each cable / connector you want to your basket, and amend the quantity in the basket to maintain the free shipping

You forgot to mention that you can get electrocuted too. XD

I bought this type of cable (though not this brand) for my kids, who are constantly ruining decent charger cables, snapping them off in the ipad etc. These pull away and leave the connector in, so as long as the little bu&&ers don't lose the connectors, it's a smart move if you have kids. Or if you call asleep holding your phone.

I've got one from a different seller, used it every day for around 2 months. Works great, although doesn't fast charge with a fast charge Samsung plug. I keep the adapter permanently in the port on my phone it protects the port that way too. Handy to just pull your phone away from it and the light at the end of the cable shows whether its powered on or off. I paid around £3.69 fast delivery off Ebay 👌
