Tired of replacing cables
July 22, 2018 5:31 AM Subscribe
I use a lot of micro USB / lightning / USB C splitter cables for charging. I'm hard on cables and need to replace them regularly. It's not a huge deal because they're cheap, but does abyone have recommendations for sturdier splitter cables?
What tends to fail on your cables that they need replacing so often?

I'm not super hard on my cables, so YMMV, but I got these retractable cables with an integrated tip, and I like them so far. If it's the 3-way split at the end that's failing on your existing cables, maybe a cable with an integrated tip like this would fare better.

Monoprice is a very well-respected supplier and they state a "Lifetime Warranty for all cables" I find braided cables sturdier.
