Best long charging cables 2021: Top 10ft picks for your phone, laptop and more

 


(Pocket-lint) - It is a universal problem to tug your charging cable to reach your computer, but those who want a better world can use a longer wire and turn this slight inconvenience into a thing of the past.

However, with countless third-party cables to choose from and USB specifications to understand, it can be difficult to know exactly what is right for you. That's why we have compiled this fast and easy guide to the best options that you can purchase, with a focus on 10ft/3m chargers in particular.

Some will come in multipacks, making it more likely that a cable will still be within your control, and others will feature USB-A as the connector to your plug, with a USB-C, Lightning or Micro USB port on the other end of the wire.

Below, we will go through the wires that can help boost the configuration of your charging - come and explore with us.

Best long charging cables you can buy


AmazonBasics Lightning to USB-A Cable (10ft)


With this 10ft USB-A - Lightning connector the ideal option, Apple users who need a super-long cable for their iPhone or iPad need not scroll any further.

With a nylon fibre on the outside to have some additional toughness, the AmazonBasics cable has Apple's MFi certification.

Since it is so long, Kevlar has also been included in the copper wire by AmazonBasics, just to make sure it keeps powering your phone for longer.

Fasgear USB to USB-C Cable (10ft, Three-Pack))


With this inexpensive three-pack, have one in your backpack, one at home and one at the office, giving you 10ft of scope when you need it most.

Fasgear has plenty of cables to choose from, but for a wide variety of devices, including laptops, this USB-C trio is perfect. Since it uses braided nylon as well, it should also remain reasonably robust.

Just be conscious that there are plenty of colour choices to choose from. There are five different sets, each containing a trio of different coloured cables.

Deego Micro USB Cable (10ft/6ft Two-Pack)


While you're in the market for a new charging cable, you may as well double up - and you can do so easily with Deego's two-pack.

Instead of just giving you a solitary wire, you get a pair here, with one 10ft long and the other measuring 6ft. It provides value that is difficult to match for those who need to charge through a wall outlet and USB-A to Micro USB.

Deego also indicates that up to 10,000 bends will survive per cable, which is clearly necessary to prevent fraying.

Anker USB-C to USB-A Cable (10ft)


You might not get the extreme value of multipack offerings with Anker's cable, but you do get the comfort of high quality.

This singular 10ft cable offers a double-braided nylon exterior, with the laser-welded connectors giving your USB-C gadgets a secure and stable charge.

Just be aware that, despite being able to do this with other Android devices, it does not support the fast charging capabilities of the Google Pixel or Motorola Nexus.

Jsaux USB-A to USB-C Cable (10ft/3.3ft Two-Pack)


Jsaux has many excellent choices to consider for long-cable fans, with this USB-C two-pack being one of its most common picks.

Also, for good reason, with one shorter 3.3ft cable - ideal for bedsides and desks - and another 10ft alternative, which is ideal for snaking through rooms towards devices that are difficult to reach.

For those of you who don't want garish red all over your house, it's also available in seven different colours.

Fasgear USB-C to USB-A Cable (10ft)


The range of Fasgear is slightly different from the rest of the cables on this list, designed to work with Oculus Quest but doubling up for smartphone gamers as the perfect alternative.

This is, of course, the only pick you can remember for VR headset owners. However, the 90-degree connector also helps those who enjoy landscape gaming on their tablet, enabling you to get a stronger grip around the unit.

It's definitely not inexpensive, but it's a top 10ft specialist cable to consider.

Cabepow USB-A to USB-C Cable (10ft, Three-Pack))


Another top collection of USB-A to USB-C cables comes from Cabepow, providing each wire with a 10-ft charging extension.

Those who need to charge their smartphone, laptop or any other USB-C device are in good hands here, available in six different colours - red, dark green, gold, silver, grey and purple.

To aid longevity, the cables feature the usual braided nylon, with a bendy portion before the metal link helping it prevent fraying.

Jsaux USB-A to USB-C Cable


Jsaux has options for those who want to pick up several lengths of the same form of cable in one go, but for most individuals, this single USB-A to USB-C option will work.

The length of 10 ft allows you to run it through rooms to reach devices that need charging, such as cameras, laptops and smartphones, and the robust braided nylon exterior ensures that fraying can be avoided.

The cable is also available in grey if you don't like the red finish.

Night Mode on iPhone: Everything You Need to Know

Image
The newest iPhones from Apple, iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max, are fitted with a new feature called Night mode, designed to take crisp, clear pictures even if lighting conditions, such as at night, are low.   Unfortunately, Night mode is not supported on the   iPhone SE   or   iPhone XR . It remains an exclusive feature for the ‌iPhone 11‌ line of phones. As the name suggests, Night mode allows you to take pictures at night, with lighting that has never been possible on an iPhone before, thanks to new hardware and new machine learning algorithms. Although Night Mode brightens photos, it also preserves the feeling of night time, balancing an image's light and dark elements. For a while now, Android smartphone manufacturers such as Google and Samsung have had unique modes to brighten up evening shots, and Apple is on equal footing with these other smartphone cameras with the 2019 iPhones. What is Night Mode? Night mode is an automatic setting that take...

Best 2021 Xbox controllers: Get the advantage of these third-party and official pads with these

Image
  (Pocket-lint) - The Xbox controller has a pretty remarkable lineage already - following the very unusual design embraced by the original console's chunky gamepad, the Xbox 360 introduced a new type that's stood the test of time. It has been updated only marginally over the Xbox One years, and for the Xbox Series X and S as well, it has remained very similar. That's a testament to a great deal of architecture, but it also has some limitations. Picking up a new controller might be a game-changer, because it's not quite the right shape for you, or whether you want some extra buttons and features.
