Insignia™ - 4' Lightning to USB-C Braided Charge-and-Sync Cable (2 Pack) - Moon Gray

Better than the Apple original. You won’t get shortchanged.

For 2 cords the price is right. It fits my iPhone 14 Pro perfectly. It’s snug and tight

Hey, it’s a cable—there's just nothing too exciting or ground-breaking here to rave on about. USB-C & Lightning connectors—check. Braided jacket—got it. Does it charge fast? Yes. Does it sync and transfer data quickly? Yes to that, too. But you could probably say the same or similar about any of a hundred different bargain-bin to boutique brand charge/sync cables as well. So, is there anything here to distinguish these Insignia cables from a sea of similar offerings? Well, for starters, you get two in a pack white still maintaining a very reasonable price tag--it’s always nice to have a spare or another cable for a second charger. The USB-C and Lightning connectors also sport a bit of ribbed texturing on each side to make it easier to feel and/or grip while fumbling near the ports in the blind. The plugs are slimline so they should easily clear the charging port on just about any iPhone/iPad case. Finally, nearly 40% of the length of each connector is devoted to strain relief so the cable itself should be able to withstand a lot of plugging and unplugging...even if sharp bends are required at the USB-C or Lightning connectors. As for the cable itself, I personally find its 4-foot length to a be the sweet spot for anything I’ll be using for both charging and syncing. Three feet is often too short to reach my wall chargers, but six feet of primarily excess cable unspooling on a desktop can just get in the way. The braided jacket also has an incredibly tight weave, so it glides easily across surfaces and around corners yet will be less likely to fray or shred over time. About the only other detail of note is the Insignia cable’s rather pronounced--yet easily countered--memory retention. Usually, a new USB cable will stubbornly retain the many bends and folds it had while packaged. Once unpacked, those factory bends and folds tend to be very hard to retrain in new directions or even eliminate over time. These Insignia cables, however, are almost “posable” ...you can bend them in different directions, and they will, to some extent, retain those new bends, rather than just flop back down like a limp rubber band, or coil back up into their original shapes/orientations. This also means it is very easy to neatly straighten the cables and eliminate any of the unwanted folds and bends they came with. It’s nothing earth-shattering to be sure, but it is a nice-to-have (and unexpected) feature for an otherwise budget-oriented product. Overall, these Insignia cables represent a great value; they offer stellar performance for what they are designed to do and are seeming built for the long haul. There's not much more you could ask for--definitely recommended.

I've been using the Insignia 4-foot USB-C to Lightning cables for a couple of months now. Overall, they are durable, fast-charging, and the perfect length for all my iPhone charging needs. Inside the package were two braided nylon USB-C to Lightning cables. The 4-foot length is perfect for use on a desk and in the car. The color is called "moon gray," but it really is more of a silky white color. The nylon is very malleable and allows for the cables to have a thin profile. The connector ends are made of plastic and feature a rubber collar to protect them from fraying or breaking from too many bends. The connectors make solid connections to the USB socket in my car, phone chargers, and laptop, as well as to my iPhone. Over the last two months of testing, I have not experienced any fraying, kinking, or binding with these cables. After numerous cable insertions, the connectors have consistently maintained a solid and firm grip. While I wouldn't claim these are top-of-the-line cables, they are significantly better than the cheap plastic cables found at gas stations or the often subpar cables that come with iPhones. Moreover, their durability inspires confidence that they will last me until the foreseeable future.. With that said, Insignia makes great and affordable cables, and I would not hesitate to recommend them.

Currently, all the latest technology is being designed with less USB-A ports and more USB-C ports. This is understandable as new standards have been implemented and as it is becoming common knowledge that USB-C provide a faster, more efficient charging speed. All that to say, my USB-A lightning cables are quickly becoming obsolete and I have been in dire need of replacements. This Insignia 2-pack of 4ft cables were just enough to no longer need to share cables between my various devices and to keep an extra for my purse portable charger. It was also a lifesaver in my electric rental car as a USB-C was the only port available. The cables work exactly as they should, fast charging, no issues whatsoever. The braided cords are not only sturdy and tangle-free, but they also keep the shape you set them to quite well. This is the first cable I have encountered that can keep its shape. Basically, if I roll it up and loop it on itself, it will stay that way in my purse without the need of a tie or wrap. Overall, I think these are a great value pack to keep up with the changing tech and stay connected. The 4ft are great for most general purposes and the high quality makes these are superb choice.
