Not amazing
The cord is starting to have decreased connection and needs to be adjusted often to be charging.

Solid feel, ideal if you need a cable that holds it shape
Bought for in car use. Works well in my situation where I needed the cable to stay the same shape I formed it. Not suitable if you need a supper flexible free hanging type cable. Ideal for cradle use.

At a glance
This 1 m Belkin braided Lightning to USB-A cable suits iPhone and iPad users who want a reliable everyday cable for charging and data transfer at home, work or on the go. Its strengths are durable braided construction, recycled materials and easy portability. The main limitation is that it uses USB-A, so it is less future-ready than newer USB-C charging cables.

Things to consider
It uses a USB-A connector rather than USB-C, so charging flexibility and long-term compatibility are more limited than newer cable options.
Fast charging suitability
Good for standard fast charging on compatible Lightning devices when paired with a suitable USB-A charger.
Multi-device compatibility
Works with iPhone 14 and earlier, plus iPad 9th Gen and earlier with a Lightning port.
Travel suitability
8/10 - compact 1 m size is easy to pack and carry, though USB-A may be less convenient with newer chargers.
Durability vs category average
9/10 - braided build and very high bend and plug-cycle testing place it above many standard charging cables.
Ease of use score
9/10 - simple plug-and-charge Lightning connection with a practical length for everyday use.
Key benefits
- Braided exterior: Helps the cable resist everyday wear and tear better than basic plastic-sleeved cables.
- 1 m length: A practical size for bedside, desk and portable charging without excess cable clutter.
- Fast charging support: Can charge an iPhone 14 from 0% to 50% in 45 minutes with a compatible charger.
- Durability tested design: Built to survive 350,000+ bends for long-term daily use.
- Frequent plug cycle durability: Tested for 20,000+ plug in-and-out cycles to handle regular reconnecting.
- Data transfer capability: Supports data transfers up to 480 Mbps for moving photos, music and files.
- Recycled material construction: Uses recycled materials in key cable components to reduce plastic waste.
- Compact coiled form: Fits easily into a pocket, handbag or small travel compartment.
Q: Will this cable work with iPhone 15 or newer models?
A: No. Belkin CAA002BT1MBK uses a Lightning connector, so it suits iPhone 14 and earlier Lightning-based devices. It is not the right cable for iPhone 15 or newer models that use USB-C instead of Lightning.
Q: Can it connect my iPhone to Apple CarPlay in the car?
A: Yes. Belkin CAA002BT1MBK supports Apple CarPlay in vehicles that use a USB-A port for a wired connection. It will not add CarPlay to a car that lacks CarPlay support or only accepts a different connection type.
Q: Does the Belkin braided cable charge only, or transfer data too?
A: It does both. Belkin CAA002BT1MBK can charge a Lightning device and handle data transfer at 480Mbps when used with compatible hardware. That suits syncing photos, music and backups, but not higher-speed USB-C transfer tasks.
Q: Will this cable plug straight into a USB-C charger?
A: No. Belkin CAA002BT1MBK has a USB-A connector on one end and a Lightning connector on the other. It is made for USB-A chargers, car ports and computers, so it does not plug directly into a USB-C-only power adapter.
Q: Is the 1 metre length enough for everyday charging?
A: Yes. The 1 metre length suits typical desk, car and on-the-go use without leaving too much spare cable to manage. It is practical for nearby charging and syncing, but it is less flexible if the power point is further away.
Q: How durable is the braided cable for daily use?
A: Belkin CAA002BT1MBK is built for frequent handling, with a braided outer designed to resist tangles and wear. It is tested for over 350,000 bends and 20,000 plug-in cycles, which suits bags, cars and regular reconnecting.
