How durable is this cable when bending? Should I get an angled cable instead?

The cable has been durable when we plug it into our iphone 6, if you want to get angled cable you can but this one works fine for us.

So far this cable starts out a little stiff, but I have had this for almost two weeks and it becomes less and less stiff and it is really easy to get used to. No, you do it need an angle cable.

It is very flexible it is just like a coax cable wire or normal head phone wire just built stronger

Cable is quite durable when flexed (though I've only had it a few weeks). The netting surrounding the cable provides better insulation and helps reduce wear, so I guess it'll depend on how bent you need the cable to be for your application.

This cable is extremely durable. I often have my curled up tightly to fully extended and it never kinks up and shows zero signs of tearing and wearing and I've been using multiple times a day for over 6 months.

There are rubber covers on the ends and the ends bend sideways. Not a problem.

Same diameter as standard HDMI cables - a gradual 90-degree bend is okay, but if you are asking if you can "kink" it, I would say no.

Wish I could help you. I only used mine for curves. It seems thin enough to bend though.

It bends the antenna. After about a year and a half of use, my antenna broke off.

It did eventually break..... But I am very hard on cables. It lasted much longer than the other cables.

If your previous cord gave out, this one will too. Carrying in your pocket puts a higher level of wear on any cable. I would recommend looking for a cable with right angle ends, to minimize stress.

If you don't mind using players to bend it, it should work. Although it is designed to hang on wire, there is an inch between the bends, so you should be able to make a 90 degree angle with one of them without too much difficulty.

If you're asking whether it withstands frequent and repeated plugging and unplugging, I can't offer direct experience, since I've left mine plugged in for the several months I've owned it. But I was pleasantly surprised by the material quality, if that helps. It seems to be similarly constructed to, and equally durable with, the sync cables for iPhones, for instance--which in my case do get fairly heavy manipulation. The flexibility allowed me to do a long run with bends without straining the cable. And I'm extremely happy with both the audio and video performance (from an Oppo BDP-105 to a recent 40" Samsung DTV).

I bent mine, not a sharp L but as shape as it let me about 18-20 inches from corner it starts to bend. I hope that makes sense.

Yes you can bend it. It is quite pliable. Just be careful and do it slowly.

I haven't had any connection problems since I got the cable, and I've had it for about 4 months now. The only thing is it will slightly bend into a new shape (not a straight line) over time if it is left in that position, but that's to be expected from most cables. It has a flat cable that is a lot sturdier than a normal Apple one and doesn't look like it'll break anytime soon. Hope that answers your question.

I do not have a Bamboo but I have seen others say that this cable works very well for that device. I will say though that I used this in my vehicle for my tablet and phone and within 5 months it stopped working. The micro end quit working for some reason and I am not rough on cables. I could see no visible damage to the cable or the end that might indicate a reason it stopped working. I just replaced it with a standard cable on the cheap. This cable is very rough and does not bend well, but it is durable feeling.

It depends on what you are using it for. the both have ups and downs to them. I prefer the angled ones as they can get into some tighter spaces. Hope this helps.

Yes, it is flexible, like a normal HDMI cable, but you can´t blend in 90° on corners, also in curve style.

I got this a year ago this is very hard to bend if is a arc bend yes but if you have aVery short or sharp bend this one is not going to work for you.....good luck

I'm happy with these cables. They replaced home cables over 10years ago. I'm reluctant to bend to 90 degrees as to the nature of the strands inside. If you can run a longer cable to route
