Apple Cable Adapter

This is essentially the same cable apple includes with an iPhone and iPad. If you're going to use it to charge and iPhone or iPad, make sure you have a USB adapter you can plug into an outlet. It's MFI certified which is certification for compatibility with Apple products. The cable is a little less flexible than Apple's cable. This might be due to a thicker and sturdier outer jacket which would make this cable a little more durable than the Apple cable.

This cable fixed my CarPlay issues. I have a 2019 Ford F450 and with the Apple cable + USB-C adapter (Apple doesn’t sell a USB-A to USB-C cable) I was constantly getting disconnected from my CarPlay receiver. I haven’t had a single disconnect with this cable. A real life-saver!

Excellent authentic Apple power adapter for plugging iPhone lightning cable to wall outlet. B&H always has those tidbits we cannot live without, thank you!!

This adapter transforms micro your micro USB cable into a much sturdier than Apple's original Lightning cable. It snaps on tightly, charges and transfers data well, works for both iPhone and iPad.

Somewhere along the line, Apple figured out something that many other cable manufacturers haven't learned namely, that cables should be springy, not easily bendable. Cables should NEVER be folded or wrapped tightly with sharp bends. If you want your cables to last, they should be coiled into a circle when you store them, and that's easy to do when the cable is springy. Most of Apple's cables are springy these days, and this power adapter extension is no exception. I bought three of them, and I placed them everywhere I'm likely to plug in a power adapter. In that way, the power adapters don't remain plugged in (consuming current, even when they're not in use), and I just pop the duckhead end of the cable onto whatever power adapter I'm carrying with my device...iPad, iPod, or MacBook Pro. Both the duckhead connector end and the AC plug end have good strain relief. If you take care of this cable, it should last a lifetime.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Full disclosure: I was sent this product to review. This is a great cable. The lightning cables have been around for years now so there isn't really anything new or innovative that makes this product stand out. But it is well made and feels durable. It's a great length and it works as you would expect it to. One thing that does impress me is that the plastic end with the lightning adapter is identical to the end of an official Apple cable. I've had a few third party lightning cables over the years and every one of them had a longer and usually fatter lightning adapter end. Sometimes an Apple cable would fit through the hole in a case to charge my phone but a third party cable wouldn't. In this case, Belkin's cable is just as capable as an original lightning cable. This is the first time I can remember thinking that anyone has made a cable as good as the one provided with the iPhone.

Nice to be able to get an Apple cable at B&H

Worked perfectly from the get-go and was way less than the Apple version of this adapter.

If you use the apple headphone adapter, you can also use it with iPhone X
