USB Cable Deals & Offers

Hey @ggeorgiou - Thanks for sharing (party)

I got it then aswell but the old version 5 seems to have more torque. Do you feel the same? Also how does your battery hold up, as that seems poor compared to the V5

I bought one of these last time it was this price to replace my trusty old IXO that died after 5 -plus years. Looks a bit weird, but it is a complete delight to use and the speed control is intuitive. Recommended.

What a sausage

No clutch so it sucks

Ah yes dumb 'ol me, should have read it closer. Ta. :)

Learned something new, didn't know IPhone can do Thunderbolt and the charger is usb c. Thanks a lot, I nearly placed a comment this is half the price or less at Ali Express, but probably has different specs. Any experience with Ugreen? People seems to be pleased with the brand and I'm looking for a PD cable, as I don't have Prime, I can't get it from Amazon, so Ugreen was one of the options from China. Have you ever used a PD Ugreen cable, thanks. Voted hot by the way!

It is Thunderbolt 3, rather than USB 3.0.

Not fully USB 3.0 due to speeds so no good for Quest although it does now work with USB 2.0.

Wow!

Empty box arrived. Handed to me. Just extra boxes inside. Amazon refunded immediately via chat.

Yerah it does support pass through

Arrived today. Oh, I am a sucker for a external battery!

Now down to £5.99

Strange comments. Most phones are indeed USB-C now, but that's irrelevant if you have a device with a micro-USB connecter... These magnetic leads are great for kids, as the OP has clearly explained. Great for my wife too who is less than careful (fierce)

These are not the same the above. The purpose of these MAGNETIC connection is that it’s child friendly. When you have one of those wires connected and a child pulls away their tablet this can cause: A: Wire damage B: damage time to the tablet connection Having young children, I have experienced both of the above from iPads to other tablets. The brilliant thing about these magnetic connections are when they are pulled, the head comes off with: A: no damage to the wire B: connection on tablet stays in tact. C: easy to connect as it’s magnetic its ideal for young children. So can’t compare the products you have put on. Sorry.

Yes you can, there are different Connections available.

Been using the netdot ones (usbc) for a while, find them really good. Reduces the chance of damaging your charging port on your phone

That sucks. Try the ones from pound stretcher, my kids still using those ones with no issues

Remember the recent Anker £10 off glitch when pretty much all their cables were free or less than a £1

I'm not saying they are the same brand but I bought 3 of these off eBay a while ago , none - and I mean NONE of them worked after 2 weeks (all connections) . Seller was really pissed off when I left neg feedback when they wouldn't offer returns ?!. This is my experience with the ones I bought which look very similar anyway. The sooner everything's USB C the better .

Temptation with those things is to plug multiple things in at once, which is a no-no.

The poundstretcher ones are great until they burn your house down...... they're cheaper because the materials used are cheaper and the lack of strict quality control. For any cables/chargers plugged into your electrical sockets, it's worth paying a few quid more for branded stuff just for the peace of mind, not to mention they'll also last a lot longer as well....... I recommend Anker and Ravpower as they do the best quality cables and chargers on the market. Ugreen are okay as well.

Price increase to £30 + now

Most robust chargers we’ve bought my daughter ( despite being told how to unplug etc) was going through expensive chargers at about one a month /6weeks ) sick of swapping/ buying them for£15 a pop , bought these and one has just lasted 8 months ! A huge improvement for us lol !

Bought these a few weeks ago, definitely more robust than typical cables, Less flex in the cable and reinforcement on both ends. :)

I bought these last time round and can honestly say they’re much better than the ‘Basics’ name suggests, good quality metal ends, thick supple cable sheath, seems very durable, none broken yet and my missus is an expert at breaking leads and electronics... Highly recommend these, also the longer length proves useful.

Yes, my 7 yr old playing fortnite has just frayed and destroyed my cable, should say 25,000 bends or 7yr old for 6 weeks!

But Ugreen are very good quality leads - you will do well to better them in my opinion, have you missed all the comments in this thread?

Rather get something better quality and send to my door than pay 2p more for a lesser quality and me have to stand in a queue

Ugreen are a solid brand. Have everything from phone cables to usb to sata connects. Cheap solid and work well

In the video advert it states it has "With built in 56K Ohm resistor protecting your device"

I always use AliExpress. They have a dispute process which in my experience favours the buyer and I've never had an issue. Yes I've had stuff not turn up but they're always tracked and easy to get your money back if there's an issue.

free pp very cheap

Wasn't in a rush to charge my phone anyway (lol) Decent brand for everything else, assuming it is MFI, it's a good price.

will be cheaper on AliExpress somewhere with better tracking..

Order a few, 18 months warranty as well

Rubbish quality

Got the charger and the full refund 3 days later. (lol) (lol) (lol)

I might have to test out how fast this wireless charging stand works. I do have a proper fast charger for my iPhone XS which i've been using so I need to see if i'm gaining anything out of this apart from it looking super fancy on my desk :)

My usb c cables arrived not as exciting as a usb hub or fast charger but i go through cables like hotcakes The ones i got rn arent brome but gonna use the new ones for the lovely long length (flirt) And because one if them works but has a little exposed wire at the end what gives me slight static shocks

Same here, my gf order the Soundcore Life P2 is cancelled for mispriceing reasons. Shame I really wanted that :(

I was looking forward to getting this yesterday Around lunchtime had an email to say it had been delivered. I asked all at my workplace if they'd taken delivery but no one had.According to delivery note it had been put in the letterbox which is a mystery given the letterbox is sealed.Checked with all neighbouring units and not delivered to any of them. Rang Amazon customer services who said they would call me back after 24 hours after looking into it. They didn't call back. Called them 3 times and they are all just like broken records, eventually got through to a a manger who hung up on me. They refunded my £1.49 for the wireless fast charger but when I tried to reorder price is £15.99. They said they credited the £10 voucher and £2 "tax" credit but still £2.50 short to reorder.I then learn it's Amazon policy not to price match 3rd party sellers.So despite their delivery driver lying saying it had been delivered to the definitive delivery address when it hasn't I'm then out if pocket when I go to reorder I then learn the credits they apply only apply to items sold by Amazon so not to the order they didn't deliver and I'm trying to reorder.Thwy aren't able to reorder it either as it's a 3rd party seller and not Amazon. Worn out after so long on hold with numerous agents and manager who are pre programmed to follow set speech and poor Amazon biased policies. My blood sugar dropped on one call and I asked if a manger could call me back as I has to hang up to sort myself out and they said they would...another lie as no one called back. Very concerning after watching the TV program where Amazon delivery drivers threw items over hedges , behind walls , down drains. One item I ordered for Xmas was left at a neighbouring empty unit where the driver opened a side door and left it in the dark where anyone walking in would likely stand on it. Don't get me on about a Karcher K7 where they cancelled a scheduled delivery without telling me twice.

No problem mate, keep an eye you never know, it may go back down.

Haha was a good spot, thanks anyways!

Sorry.

Noooo I was gonna head to John Lewis today!!

;( ;( ;( I can confirm as well the price is back up

True, I haven't noticed anything different as of this week though? Dispatched from a different part of China I reckon :D

I agree you can get better prices on the AliE store, but waiting times might be a bit longer than usual what with the virus.

I get all my UGreen cables, adaptors etc. from their Official Store on Ali. Usually around a 2 week wait but the prices are the best! They make very nice stuff, which I trust. Reliability is key, I work in digital forensics and their products are all we use now (y) Baseus a close second. If you need this now, its a no-brainer, but if you can wait? Check out their Ali Store and buy direct. Heat OP!

This is good because the total output is 36 W meaning each port can supply 18 W at the same time. A lot of these things have 18 W total output.

Baseus do some cheapos

Looks like it. There used to be a link that reduced the price, But it's gone now

has this expired? Or am I just being a fool?

Anyway!!!! Ordered yesterday. Surprisingly it came today. Nice bit of kit. Think I'll buy a couple of USB A to C adapters so I can plug it in wherever the funk I want........ :{ Now to wait for a final 7 port hub like last time and I should be set for all of my machines to be hubbed up.

This proves how stupid you really are (skeptical) Muted, for my sanity.

LOL okay how does this disabling the "+ve pin" (you mean the 5V supply pin presumably) work? Say it's disabled and I plug in a flash drive, which now has no power and no way to signal that it is connected, how does the hub know to power it up? In fact hardly any hubs actually support disabling the 5V supply to ports. The USB 2.0 compliance tests require it when testing devices but they dropped it for 3.0 because it was extremely difficult to find a hub that actually supported it, and even the USB IF couldn't supply them any more. And the disabling function is under the control of the host, i.e. it's power saving not protection. You could just educate yourself and then you would know all this. I'll help you, go here and read the documentation: https://www.usb.org/documents

Link gives: Looking for something? We’re sorry. The Web address you entered is not a functioning page on our site.

I received today an email from amazon, "this item has been canceled", we apologize ... bla bla bla ... (annoyed)

Bought one to charge my ps4 headset but only works when PS4 is on.

1 quid on wish. Get a powered hub if buying at a higher price

??????

Sorry, I'm blind :), I will erase my comment. Don't know if the title/description is wrong on the web page or the picture, I posted this deal before and were 3 x usb c, also picture shows the resistor which normally you don't find in micro usb...perhaps this is why is cold, don't know...

They're micro-USB

Yeah no idea why it's cold. Great quality and the price I've seen a single cable go for

They are great quality. 👌

I bought these and they are very decent

Same, I got excited when I saw it, huge Sonic fan. Want the cable guy thing anyway, which is about £12.99. The rest of the stuff, just looks like tat and not worth it. Like you say, just has the Sonic branding slapped on. Not the best I've seen that's for sure. The other stuff is probably £5 each I'd imagine to buy individually but, still looks like tat to me.

It's not something that jumps out at me as being something worth getting as it mostly sounds comprised of cheap tat* with the Sonic branding slapped on it, other than the 'cable guy' (although I'm still not sure what that even is, so that might not be worth it either). When I saw the title I was thinking it would be something that included such things as full sets of various Sonic cartoons (especially the one from the 90s with the 'Sonic Says' bits), and perhaps digital download codes for the classic Sonic games on a platform or two. * I obviously don't know what the quality is actually like. I'm just saying that is how this 'collection' comes across as to me personally. Someone else might decide that they think what this contains is worth getting it though.

Can I get some fries with that? (embarrassed) oh, wait ... (confused) hahahahahaha. :p

On 2 separate occasions in the past when I've done 'similar', get who's Deal was rather removed, in favour of someone else's, etc etc?. :-( Needless to say, I'd call dibs on your Deal back, basically?, lol. For real ... :-D

Potato sources (lol)

Thanks @Brutes it is already posted @ £19.49 (highfive)

"I loaded 288 x 720p cult 70s, 80s and 90s movies onto a 256gb Sandisk USB" Care to share upon your source/source's?, lol, thanx.
