PortaPow Specialized Data Block Lightning USB Cable (2x 5ft + 1x 1ft)

As a huge fan of PortaPows Datablocker which I previous got from a colleague I thought their cables with the same features would just be perfect. They were not. I bought four packs of kit, each one short and two longs, as to supply all the family’s need of iOS lightning power need.It seems that the four short cables work alright although just a bit to short to be practical.The long ones, eight in total, was the real disappointment:• The perscison when attaching the lightning contact to the phone is imprecise and does not snap into place like an original apple product.• Three cables seem not to be able to provide power at all• Three does not fit well and only power when in an exact angle, which means you can’t touch the phone while charging.• Two out of eight seem to work as expected...I’m so disappointed I haven’t yet made a claim. I feel embarrassed having even bought so many out of good faith really not using my engineering knowledge.

Bought this last year and it worked great. But now almost a year later and I'm getting the dreaded "This accessory may not be supported" message, and it stopped charging. Tried cleaning out the metal contacts w alcohol swabs and the lightning port lint/etc., but it still pops up. Cable looks ok otherwise.

Works exactly as advertised. I’m very happy with the purchase.

Perfect for when you are out of power but don't want to risk data loss when charging Iphone on your friend's computer or at work

Cheaper than the other porta pow cords

They work well until suddenly they all stop working. horrible!

I Love the charging cables .. I will purchase again

I loved this until my 14 year old swiped it to charge his phone than lost it someplace.

The only lightning cables I use now for charging.Probably the best on the market.Solid build quality and affordable price.The built-in no nonsense data block feature helps when you travel a lot and have to use USBs you don’t trust and definitely helps with a quicker charge.Highly recommend.

Charges iPhone and iPad quickly - even more so if combined with a fast-charing plug. Effect is particularly noticeable with the iPad.Bought a pack of 3 so I can give 1 to my partner and keep 1 plugged in at home and 1 in my handbag. Really pleased.I looked at a few options before choosing these, and did so on the basis of price and reviews. Am glad I did.

I buy these charger leads because they are so reliable and work with no problems slow charging the device. I will say I have tried other types but I always come back to PortaPow because they do such a great job so thanks PortaPow your so reliable. :-)

The one I've been using my desk has failed already.The cables do the job of blocking data but can't cope with very light useage.

These cables definitely speed up charging.

Great cables - I keep coming back for more.

All good

A voir dans le temps...Câble de charge (pas de transfert de données) qui recharge rapidement l'iphone SE !Idéal pour la confidentialité ou avec un chargeur puissant dans la voiture.

When they work they are fantastic! Well made, and fast-charging. However I'm starting to see, on two of the cables, the dreaded "this cable is not certified and may not work correctly" warnings appear.I tried to raise a return via Amazon but it seems they are not interested beyond 60 days, so not sure where to turn.

Having previously purchased these a few years the design seems to have changed. The connector colouring is different. The originals lasted well and only needed to be replacement due to do misplacing them over time. One of the new cables has already developed a fault. It will not charge the phone at all. Will keep a close on others over the coming months.

to be honest I find its not much quicker then the normal cable, don't use it now.

Great fast charger cable for iPhone 6 and above much cheaper than buying from apple direct make sure you get a plug that is 2 amp or above to take advantage or quick charging.

Big fan of these cables.They stand up to abuse well, and do genuinely seem to charge faster.Have bought many, many of these, and plan to continue as they each do (eventually) die.

I love these!! they work so well and charge the phone fast. They work brilliantly with the Quad Portapow.Best and fasted chargers ever!

Lasted about 4 months then stopped charging
