Rerii Coiled Micro USB Cable Spring, Coiled Micro B USB Cable, Left Angled for Micro USB Plug Device, Charging and Data SYNC, for Samsung, HTC, Huawei, Sony and More

This  left-angle coiled USB cable  does feel a bit taut. If you want little droop, it pulls enough to well support its own weight. If you want long extension with low force, you may be looking for something droopier (or maybe not... read on). I decided to bring some numbers, including a sample amount of force, to the tautness topic. Unstretched, and measuring from the strain reliefs rather than the ends, my unit measures about 16" (~4.5" from full-size end, 6" coil, 5.5" from micro end). After experimenting with stretching, I concluded the force I felt comfortable applying to connected equipment was at about doubling of the coil length, giving a stretched length of 22" (plus a little bit of connector at each end). The cable is capable of more stretch; that's merely beyond my own comfort zone. The coil length-doubling stretch took about 9 ozf ("ounces force"), or just over 1/2 lbf ("pound force"). I found a USB.org standard giving minimum unmating (pullout) forces of 10 N (Newtons) for full-size USB and 8 N for micro. The smaller 8 N value converts to almost 1.8 lbf (almost 29 ozf), so my "comfort limit" is near 1/3 the inline force that might dislodge a straight-connector cable. If I need a bit more stretch, I can almost certainly safely have some. The cable worked fine for directly plugging into my phone and for use with a  fold-flat wireless charger  set on the passenger car seat (hint: set charger between other, stable, objects so phone won't fall off either side). I was able to use the cable handily from either the "usual" cigarette lighter-style power outlet or from one hidden within a center-console compartment: either use didn't need much stretch in my case. For me, this cable handles Quick Charge 2 (and 3) rates fine. Plugging directly into my phone (which had come with a Quick Charge 2 charger) and the Quick Charge 3 outlet of a  car charger  raised the phone's charge level from 58% to 68% in 10 minutes, a rate of 60 %pt/hr (percentage points per hour). That's slightly faster (possibly just due to imprecision?) than I've measured with the phone's factory charging equipment.

The charge chord works fine. The only complaint, and the reason for a 4 star and not a 5, is the coiled part of the chord is so stiff that when I pick up my phone it doesn't stretch very easy. It puts a lot of stress on the side entry of the micro and usb. I forcefully stretch it and have been for weeks to loosen it up, but still very tightly coiled. The chord is suppose to extend to like 6ft., but it can't without the pulling stress on the usb and micro plugs. It states to be an easy stretch and recoil, but it is not. Other than that the charging is great and with the sideways plug the chord doesn't get bent while I use it.

I purchased this particular cable specifically because it has an angled plug. When I received it the angle was in the opposite direction that I thought it would be. Pay close attention to this if ordering this item because it may turn out to be angled opposite what you thought it would be. The pictures showing it don't give a clear enough indication of what left angled or right angled means.

The idea of this product is ideal for the ATN X-Sight II day and night vision scope. Even with new Duracell AA batteries you can only expect an hour of runtime without an external power source.The right angle on both ends of this coil cable keep the cable tight to your gun. A typical straight cable just gets in the way more on a rifle.My issue with these cables is durability. I get roughly a year out of them before they become unreliable. You'll notice having to start wiggling the plug a bit to get something to charge. Eventually that stops working and you need a new cord. At some point that happens to every micro USB and lightning cable. But they usually last more than a year or two.

Have it on my ATN scope haven’t used it much so far so good

Not much to say about a cord, except that it seems well made, and it works fine. I bought this to use with my android cell phone in my car, which has a USB charging outlet in the console storage bin. It's completely out of sight, so it's neater than having my car charger plugged into one of the 12V power outlets, with the cord hanging out. I'm connected via Bluetooth, but if I DO need to pick up the cell phone, the coiled part of the cord extends, letting me do so without having to unplug, and because it retracts there's no messy cord to get tangled when I put it back in the bin. Very tidy and convenient.

Bought this to use my Insta360 camera on my motorcycle. Was using a standard cable, but had to zip tie up the excess cord. This cable feels nice and tight when I plug it in and the coil style allows it to keep up the slack when riding. Haven't used it very long, but so far it appears to be a great buy for $7!

So far, this has worked for my set up of a night vision scope and USB power supply. Can't fault it yet, I've dropped the power supply with the cord plugged in, it didn't pull out and didn't bend the connectors. I'll post more if anything changes.
