Title: Good Cable Brands?
Post by: filcomanfilthy on Sat, 28 September 2019, 09:30:44

Hi, Im looking for a good cable that i can buy offline. I would like it to be USB-C male to USB-A male. I am wondering about customs as well as ones you can just buy as they are. What are your favorites? I am extremely adamant about material and am looking for the sturdiest, most durable sleeving material. Anything helps, and thanks!

I can't speak to your extreme requirements, but I have had good experience with upper line Ankers.

Not sure if Drop will run these steel braided cables again. You might be able to find an equivalent somewhere else. I can't imagine there would be a sheathing material more durable.

I personally have always been a fan of Pexon's cables. In fact, I had just put an order in for two more cables recently. I always go with a double sleeving of paracord and then techflex. The double sleeving really helps the cable "remember" it's initial shape, especially with coiled cables. Now I have been away from the keyboard scene for a bit and noticed a lot more companies popping up. I found most places to be back-ordered and are opening up slots on a biweekly basis. So it may just come down to going with whoever is available at the time.
