Already mentioned in thread, Anker cables. It has very good threaded covers that are strong and hard to damage. Internal copper cables and the USB ends are also very well made so there is no chance for it to fray or crack.

Bought a pair pack over 6 years ago. Still haven't used the second cable because the first one is as good as new.

Also NGK spark plugs lol.

This is what everyone told me, so I bought a two pack of Anker branded cables. Both of them broke and wouldn't charge without being held at a weird angle within a month. I bought an Amazon basics cable after that and it has worked for years just fine.

I seem to be in the minority here, but I will never buy Anker again after this awful experience.

Anker has been hit-or-miss for me. It either craps out early, or lasts much longer than it has any right to. They're still my go-to for cables, because I usually lose or give many of them away before they have a chance to show their worth
