This charge cable stopped working (without suffering any sort of damage) so soon after I bought it that when I saw it in my purchase history as an item to review, I didn't even remember owning it.

Man, I'm pretty bummed about this. Been using Anker stuff for a while with no problems, but I've used this cord for a little over a month and it just stopped working. I'm not some barbarian that pulls their cords from wherever to unplug it - I always grab from the base. Anyway, no visible fraying or anything on the cord and I've tried it with a few different USB power blocks and nada. It's dead. Emailed Anker and still haven't heard back.

I'm sure there's a good chance that my cord was a bad copy or something, but I might have to try another brand for the replacement.

Edit: I reached out to Anker and they promptly replaced my cord and so far, so good! I think the original must have just been a dud.

My son had researched charging cables and Anker cables always got great reviews.  I ordered this 6' Anker nylon braided USB cable in Feb 2017 after purchasing the 3' Anker nylon braided USB cable in Nov 2016.  I began using the 3' cable in Feb 2017 and it stopped working in Apr 2017.  Since I had the 6' cable, I began using it.  Well, today 6/8/17, the 6' cable stopped working.  It doesn't charge my phone anymore.  I plugged and unplugged the cable.  Doesn't work.  I thought it was my device, but I plugged in a different USB cable, and now it's charging my phone.  I would think Anker products last more than 3-4 months.  I don't want to go to another brand, but I may have to.

*UPDATE* After my initial review (see below,) I received an email from AnkerDirect, they offered to replace my defective red cable free of charge. In my book that should get them five stars in customer service, however I am only giving four stars. My reason is that this is a quality control issue that should not happen; whether one is paying $7 or $30 and if this is an ongoing issue hopefully they are correcting it for every dissatisfied customer. For now I am satisfied and I hope this replacement cable continues to work, because that would make my daughter really happy.

Again, I did receive a replacement item free of charge, but my review is entirely my own opinion.

*INITIAL ONE STAR REVIEW* Had to return this one it didn't last more than a week before it stopped carrying a current. Pitty really, because it was nice to keep charging cables sorted by colour in a multi device household.

This cable worked fine for a few months but has now stopped allowing me to transfer files between my computer and my phone. It still works for charging. I never traveled with this cable even, it just sat plugged into the same port on my pc for a few months but lost the ability to transfer data. My computer doesn't even register that there's a device connected anymore.

See update below.

Looks and feels like a quality cable. I use it in my car for data and charging.  For some reason when I connect, it doesn't charge. The iPhone says its charging but not much and occasionally not at all. Data will sometimes not work right off the bat too. My cheap mono price cable, which is 1/4 the cost of this cable, has none of these issues.

I can't recommend this cable. It looks good but doesn't work well at all.

UPDATE:
Without my requesting, Anker support reached out to me about my cable.  No other company has done that for me!  They offered to replace, at no cost to me, and it arrived in a couple days.  I used it for a few days and the new one has no issue, charges my phone as expected.  On a trip I did side by side test using my phone and another, and the old cord barely charged it, while the new one did.

So, I must have got one out of a million that had a problem.  No big deal, it happens.  I am happy they stood behind their product and went out of their way to fix this even when I said not to worry (I wasn't looking for justice or anything like that).

I figured I'd give this cable a chance since it was the length I wanted at the right price. I was hoping maybe others were abusing the cable and it would work fine for me, but the end plug on mine stopped working too less than 2 months after I got it. It's been sitting in the same spot the whole time used to charge my phone. One day I woke up and found my phone wasn't anymore charged than when I went to bed.

I don't know how you can mess up manufacturing a USB cable, but they sure did. Don't waste your money on this cable or any others made by Cables Unlimited!!

Customer service and support was great with this review and sent me a brand new cable, even after the first one was lost in the mail.  Thanks for the great customer service experience and for replacing the cable!

This charger worked fine, bought because i trusted the brand and wanted the longer length.  Not even 4 months go by and it no longer charges.  It worked fine until a few weeks ago when it started to fall out and not stay plugged in and wouldnt charge.  Wont change my review until something is done about it.

Stopped working after second used. Product shipped and arrived in a secured box, no problem with that aspect. This cable just stopped working, no idea why.

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.

Worked very well for months but in the past four weeks it has slowly stopped working.  All other cables work just fine with my phone, but this one rarely gets a connection to charge; the phone doesn't even detect that it is plugged in.

It worked fine for less than 4 months and then stopped charged.  The cord was not damaged in any way, it just stopped working.  I contacted the seller (Anker) and only received a generic message that I would hear from them within 48 hours.  I have not heard anything further.  Very disappointed in the quality of this cord and the customer service.
Update May 2016 - Anker did contact me and replaced the cord.  They were very cooperate in the replacement.  I am hoping the first cord was an exception and that I will not have any issues with the one.  Increasing to 3 stars at this point.  If no further problems, will update again.

Charging Cord lasted almost 1 whole day before it stopped working altogether

I bought it a year ago and was thrilled with the cable. It's very thick, protective, and fast-charged. However, it stopped working yesterday for no reason. I had it inserted in the same outlet for the last year and only plugged it in when used, which means it was moderately used and was not exposed to any sudden change in condition. I used to love it.

I received my charger on December 5, 2014.  Stopped working in mid-April.  It lights up to indicate that there's power to the charger, but it doesn't actually charge a device plugged into it.  (In our case, we're trying to charge an iPhone 6.)  It was never handled roughly, just plugged into the lighter since the day we purchased it.  It's now long past the 30-day return window, and there doesn't appear to be a way to contact the seller.

Update: Within a day or so of posting that, I was contacted by the merchant who shipped out a replacement immediately.

While I was disappointed that the first one stopped working--this is only reason I deducted a star-- I've had no problems with the replacement.  In fact, I ordered a second one for our other car, and it's worked perfectly, too.
