cable died within a year

worked for 10 months and then caput; died within a year. Otherwise, it worked great. Not sure why a cable would go bad.

Less than a year of daily use before the connections became loose and intermittent.

The port is great and the cord is nice and long but it didn't even last a year. I am very gentle with my cords and electronics too. It just randomly stopped working one day.

This cable worked without issue for 4 months almost to the day from when I ordered it (12/19/14 - 4/19/15). But one day I plugged it into my computer in the exact same configuration that I always have and it didn't work. I do not transport this cable or even move it around very often. It stays in the same place hooked up to my large monitor for when I connect my laptop to it. The cable isn't kinked or stretched and I always try to unplug it at the Mini HDMI end using the casing and not by the wire. But it just stopped working.

I know it's just an $8 cable and I will have to buy another one, but I think it should have at least worked for 12 months. I'm going to try another manufacturer this time.

Haven't even had the cable a year now and it came apart. Rarely use the thing to begin with.

This cable died in 7 months, though there is no visible damage.  I expected more from this product since it was expensive and other Anker products I own have been excellent.

10/20/17 UPDATE: Anker saw my review, then offered to send a replacement cable for free.  That restored my faith in Anker as a great company.

I bought this in May 2016 and it's Sept 2016.  The cable just stopped working.  This cable was used very carefully.  I've contacted the seller (IMKEY) and haven't heard from them.

Worked great until it stopped working at all in under 1 year.

I was very impressed by the built of this cable. But the problem for me was it died on me exactly after 13 months, right after the 12 month period warranty. The cable itself is very sturdy and did not bend or even break anywhere after that 13 months of use. It just stopped working and wouldn't charge again. So disappointed.

Worked great for one year.  Then the Cable-TV circuit went permanently blue.  I still had a free circuit (labeled VHS) so I moved the Cable there.  Six months later that circuit went blue as well.  Now I have to get rid of my Roku (to free up another circuit) or buy a new home theatre receiver.

This thing just didn't last, damn it!

The cable worked well at first but after about 6 months it started to only work occasionally. Eventually, after about 9 months it stopped working completely.

Failed a few months out of warranty. Lasted 1 year and almost 4 months.

It took a while to isolate my Vive HMD display black screen, but this 6 ft cable between an R9 Nano and the link box was the culprit.

I switched to the Vive's included hdmi cable and it worked. Ultimately I replaced it with a 10 ft version of this cable, bought in 2014 that I had lyring around unused. It'll be the first thing I check if there's another issue. Reminder to self: Don't bother reseating your 3-in-1 cable connections or even restarting your computer until you've done that.

This Cable looks well built, but apparently stopped working in 7 months of light usage.

Terriable, Cable get old after 5 months of use. This need to be long term and high quality. Don't bother yourself to buy this product unless you would like to buy twice a year.

Worked well for a while, but died after a year and a half of very infrequent use (maybe 1/week in the car). Nothing will charge with it anymore.

Had this for a year.  Stopped working unless you twist it a certain way.  Verified by using a different cable which worked.

A 6 ft cable quit working at the 19 month mark.  The small end pulled out a bit - exposing the wires.
