Work Well and Good Value
4 months on. No problems. Suitable for my purposes and still working fine.Used (mainly) as power leads for Raspberry Pi's 2 and 3. So they need to supply sustained up to 2A and 2.5A at 5V.Raspberry Pi's are fussy and show clearly (both by on board LED and onscreen display) when the voltage drops.Used (but only occasionally) for data transfer. Seem fine for that too.Comparison with two other leads.1. Samsung Budget lead (supplied with universal 2A travel phone charger)Weight: 21g Length: 1.03m2. Samsung Premium lead (supplied with flagship phone)Weight: 25g Length: 0.7m3. Ultrics leads1m - Weight: 20g Length: 1.05m2m - Weight: 34g Length: slightly over 2m (not precisely measured)3m - Weight: 50g Length: slightly over 3m (not precisely measured)All testing with 5V @ 15A stabilised bench power supplyTested with 3 * Pi 2 and 2 * Pi 3Raspberry Pi 2Budget lead: Almost constant undervoltage onscreen (rainbow) warnings. Regular LED blinking even under light loads. Despite that no instability or SDCard damage - but ! NOT ! tested under heavy loads.Samsung Premium: No warnings or LED blinking under any loads.Ultrics 1m: No warnings or LED blinking under any loads.Ultrics 2m: Momentary (rare) blinking under heavy loads.Ultrics 3m: Momentary blinking under heavy loads.Conclusion: Budget Samsung worrisome. Samsung Premium and all Ultrics leads okay under all loads.Raspberry Pi 3Budget lead: Instability and SDCard corruption even with light loads.Samsung Premium: No warnings or LED blinking under any loads.Ultrics 1m: Hint of (but rare) blinking under the heaviest loads.Ultrics 2m: Momentary blinking under heavy loads.Ultrics 3m: Some blinking under heavy loads. But no signs of instability or any other problems.Conclusion: Budget Samsung lead not Suitable. Samsung Premium and shorter Ultrics leads okay under all loads. 3m (longest) Ultrics lead may be fine but I'd suggest using it only if necessary.Data transferUltrics - all leads - successful data transfers (to and from mobile phones). Speeds not tested but seem to be limited by my (slow) SDCards. That is, the Samsung Premium lead was no faster.ObservationsSeem well made though slightly lighter and thinner than I expected.I've treated the leads well. I don't know how they'd survive with very rough treatment, though.Satisfied? Yes. Would I recommend the leads? I can't see why not. They work well and are good value for money.I imagine they're fine for most people's needs.This review was encouraged (in part) by a free lead offer from the supplier.

Excellent Value for money and as described
Item as described. I ordered a 5 pack of these cables and they are excellent. The cables are very well made and i ordered these to replace all my charging cables and use them with a 2.1A charging hub. If you are looking for fast charging cables at a reasonable price these are the ones to go for. The quality of these cables means they will last for a long time

Great set of Cables with excellent quality and convenient lengths.
Ordered the 3 lengths of cables for use at home in different locations. Th regular cable is just too short for some areas around the house.The cables arrived very quickly. Being not very expensive i did not expect very high quality, but i have to admit i am pleasantly surprised. They are the perfect length and quality is at par with the original cables. Some aftermarket cables do not support the fast charging on the Samsung Galaxy s7 but these cables had no problem supporting quick charge on the phone.Highly recommended. Might even get another set

I had thought my phone battery needed replacing.
Previously, my phone wasn't charging beyond 5%. I was going to buy a new battery. I had bought this cable as a spare, but when I tried it, it charged my phone in 30-40 minutes. My phone battery was fine, all I needed was this fast-charging cable. It clips in perfectly and charges quickly. After 2 months of solid use, I'm very impressed.

Fantastic Cables
Have written a review for these before but have been asked again. These are 'Fantastic Cables'. I got the pack of three different lengths. They are a snug fit into my device unlike many others I've tried !! The one metre charges very quickly. The two metre is just right for charging while using the device and also charges quicker than my other cables. The three metre is a little slower but this is to be expected with that length of cable, so its unfair to complain that it charges too slowly, as some people have done. Packaging is excellent. Each cable comes in its on little re-sealable bag. Arrived very quickly. The price is very reasonable condidering the quality of the cables. Delighted with this product. Top marks to this seller who has managed to deliver excellent quality, price, packaging and a speedy delivery ! Thank you.

Look like good cables
Look like good cables, and delivery from Sonali was quick - arrived faster than my main Amazon order.The cables fit nicely into both phone and charger, harder to pull out of the phone than any of my other chargers which is a bonus. The plastic bit is not too big either so it fits easily through the side of the phone case unlike another one I have!Will update if any issues but I'll be using these at home, in the car and in the work van so they will get a good testing. So far great value and quality

Five Stars
I bought this and the Sumvision 4-Port High Speed at the same time as I was gettng fed up with the existing chargers taking way too long to charge tablets and mobile phones.. It is now so much quicker the phone gets fully charge in just over an hour from 0%..It is so nice now to see phones and tablets showing 100%.. These are setup in my office in the attic and I am looking to get another set to setup on the ground floor.

Perfect fit for Wileyfox Swift
I wanted a new charging cable for my Wileyfox Swift phone because I had had problems with the original (too short) and a previous replacement (the micro-usb connector kept falling out). Some reviews hinted that these cables would suit my phone and for the price I thought a pack of three was extremely good value. And so they are. The plugs fit perfectly with a very secure connection (no more will I find my phone uncharged) and the quality seems excellent. 5 stars.
