Which 10 Foot Micro USB Cable Should I Buy?

#1

I want to get a 10 foot micro Anker USB cable. I don’t understand the difference between the:

Power Line + https://www.anker.com/products/A81440A1 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019Q6Y2MK/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&sr=1-10&tag=ianker-20&linkCode=as2&camp=217145&creative=399373&creativeASIN=B019Q6Y2MK&keywords=iPhone+6+Charger&qid=1495825798&kwr_id=801

Power Line https://www.anker.com/products/A8134011 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B012WF7ORW/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&sr=1-10&tag=ianker-20&linkCode=as2&camp=217145&creative=399373&creativeASIN=B012WF7ORW&keywords=iPhone+6+Charger&qid=1495825825&kwr_id=638

Nylon Braided Cable 10ft https://www.anker.com/products/A7137011 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B012A1221Q/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&sr=1-10&tag=ianker-20&linkCode=as2&camp=217145&creative=399373&creativeASIN=B012A1221Q&keywords=iPhone+6+Charger&qid=1495825841&kwr_id=600

The differences are;

PowerLine+ - more durable, dual layer sheath, higher bend lifespan (connector/cable) at 10,000 +
PowerLine - previous generation of the PowerLine+, lower bend lifespan, single sheath layer
Nylon Braided - Tangle free, lower durability, 24 carat gold plating to resist corrosion and heat

I would advise for the extra $4 the PowerLine+, it’s the newer cable and more robust

As @ndalby suggested, I would also highly suggest the PowerLine+.

A quick side note to @ndalby: from the pictures it appears that the PowerLine is much newer than the nylon braided, but on Amazon, it says that the two were released within weeks of each other…

I agree with @ndalby–get the PowerLine+

I got the Powerline + last week, I’m very impressed with it, it feels much stronger than any other lightning cable I have had.
