Recommend me a micro USB cable

[CorrectHorseBattery]

Hi all,

I'm after a micro USB cable that:

• allows fast charging, i.e. supports 2A charging;
• is reasonably long, so I can use the phone in bed when it's plugged into the wall - ~2M should be good; and
• is strong so the "micro" end doesn't break easily and doesn't lose its "grip" after a short period of time.

Thanks!

Just replying so I can see what's recommended here. At first it seemed like a bit of a silly question but when you listed your problems I realised I too have those, especially the third one! It gets on my nerves on a daily basis

I bought a couple of 1.5m Blackberry cables off the rainforest as I was after the same requirements as well, they work pretty well and they're pretty tough too on both ends. Seems to allow both my HO M7 and N10 to charge at max speeds.

Am I allowed to link to them considering OcUK sells USB cables as well?

Search "BlackBerry 1.5 Metres USB Data Cable".

i dont use a blackberry cable on its own but do use a blackberry rapid charger and its well made and allows faster charging. well worth the upgrade from the standard chager i was using beforehand. would hope the cable would be as well made

I use blackberry cables, nice and thick plus cheap as you like.

Search BB playbook charger, it's a 2A one, that's one he's on about, I'm using one here, excellent chargers

(Normally have a yellow end plug)

The standard Nexus 5 charger fits the bill

It's not a charger I need but a cable.

I've got an Anker one at the moment which allows rapid charging but it's become loose after only a couple of weeks of use

That's what I mean, the cable that forms that charger (available separately).
