Does this cable bend?
Arundathi G
on Jul 28, 2018
BEST ANSWER: It does bend. It is pliable and bends very easy in the "flat" direction. It will bend into a full loop..
Not as "bendie" in the sideways direction. But still pliable.

Yes, it bends fairly well. You can make it do a 180 degree curve, and it will spring back once you're done holding it that way.

Yes, can be bent easily to the point that the ends touch. Snaps mostly back into its original shape when released.

Not well. It flexes a bit, but a very large radius.

Hello
Will this cable be able to play High res music from an iphone when it is connected to a USB DAC ?
Do you ship oversea (France) or where can I found your product in Europe ?

BEST ANSWER: I do hope this will answer your question. I have used this cable merely to charge my iPhone, for which purpose it worked well. As for playing High res music, from my research it sound like it will work well: "Although an analog connection can be made via the outputs on the computer's sound card, purists maintain that external USB DACs provide superior conversion and better sound quality." Best wishes.

BEST ANSWER: Thank you for your question.
We do not have any USB-C cables that are the exact same design as this but you can use #14925 for a cable that is similar length.

Very sturdy. I've bent and twisted it quite a bit and it's still charging strong!

Good find!
This works well for connecting my portable charger to my iPhone. I had a short flexible white connector, but it stopped working and Best Buy doesn?t sell it anymore. This was a good find. The only thing is that it?s thicker and stiffer than my old cord. I worry about bending it to hold it alongside my phone.

Fixed my Honda Apple CarPlay problem
Apple CarPlay is inconsistent on my Honda Ridgeline ( basically all the Hondas) Found out I needed a shorter cable. Since I?ve gotten this. It works everytime now. Glad I got this.

The Right Stuff.!
Good.
Nice quality..!
Needed just a small cable for a car/phone hook-up without using a lot of extra wires I don't need and would look terrible.
Just the right length to make the necessary connection !

One of the best products to have!!
Sometimes, the little things make the big differences. This little cable is perfect for many things, but it is most valuable to me to accompany my Anker power bank iPhone backup in its little carrying bag. When I need to connect the power bank to my iPhone, this cable allows me to carry one behind the other with nothing to trip over....the phone, cable, and power bank can easily be carried in one hand or a pocket.

Perfect fit
Works great. I bought it to connect my iPhone to my motorcycle's phone holder/charger and it was the exact right length for my needs.

Short and efficient
I like how easily this connects my iPhone to the computer. A longer cable is not needed for this purpose.
