Anker Powerline+ II USB-A to Lightning Cable (3-Pack, 3/6/10 ft)
Durable braided Lightning cables in three lengths, at a higher price than generic packs.
We bought TMLU Phone Charger, 5-Pack [3/3/6/6/10Ft] Nylon Braided USB Lightning Charging Cables. It's no longer documented anywhere, so this page reviews the closest well-covered match. It is a well documented multi pack of nylon braided USB to Lightning cables in the same 3, 6 and 10 foot lengths.
The short version
- iPhone and iPad owners who want cables in several rooms
- Anyone tired of cables fraying at the plug
- People who need a 10 foot run to reach a bed or couch
- Your chargers only have USB-C ports
- Your phone is a newer USB-C iPhone
- You use a tight case that only fits Apple's slim Lightning plug
What owners like
- Holds up for years of daily use where cheaper cables fray
- Reliable connection and full charging speed in lab tests
- Soft, flexible braided jacket
Common complaints
- Costs more than generic braided multi packs
- The Lightning plug is slightly bigger than Apple's and may not fit through some cases
- USB-A plug, so it needs a USB-A charger rather than a newer USB-C one

What it does
A set of three nylon braided, Apple MFi certified USB-A to Lightning cables in 3, 6 and 10 foot lengths for charging and syncing iPhones and iPads. This page covers it in place of the TMLU 5 pack, which is no longer listed.
- Three lengths for a nightstand, a desk and a far away outlet
- Thick braided nylon jacket with reinforced connector boots
- MFi certified, so it is made to Apple's spec for Lightning accessories
- Larger, tapered plugs meant to stop fraying where the cable meets the connector
A good pick if you want braided Lightning cables in mixed lengths that are built to last and come from a known brand with MFi certification. It costs more per cable than generic multi packs and gives you three cables instead of five, and the Lightning plug is a little larger than Apple's, which can clash with some phone cases.

Is the Anker Powerline+ II MFi certified?
Yes. Anker lists it as Apple MFi certified.
Which lengths come in the 3 pack?

Anker rates it for 30,000 bends. TechGearLab gave the 6 foot version 8 of 10 for durability, and long term reviewers report years of use.
Does it charge as fast as Apple's cable?
In TechGearLab's tests it scored full marks for charging speed among USB-A Lightning cables.
Will it fit my phone case?
Usually, but the plug is a little larger than Apple's, so very snug case openings can be a problem.
