Does anyone here know if or when this cable (black) will be back in stock, because Amazon sure doesn’t 
I check in on these cables daily and nothing has changed @AnkerOfficial can you shed some light on the matter?
[New Release] PowerLine II 3-in-1 Cable
1 Like
Like the YouTube video creator, I also notified Anker of the same issue.
This cable cannot give 3A in a typical USB-A to USB-C connection due to the 56k pull-up resistor. The resistor is literally designed to limit power output in a type-A connection. That’s why he has no issues when using a type-C to type-C connector. Anker maybe implemented a proprietary logic (like PowerIQ 2.0) that overrides this, but they haven’t been able to explain under what scenarios this cable can offer 3A in my latest email back-and-forth.
I think the marketing department needs to have a longer discussion with the engineering department.
I did note they updated the Amazon description to confirm the presence of the 56k pull-up resistor…but they still somehow still claim 3A.

Not really sure what you are talking about . It doesn’t advertise 3 amps. Can’t pull that much through usb A.

Sorry for the late reply
Ok now I’m confused. If the premium double-braided nylon cable has a lifetime warranty, what’s the difference between that and a powerline 2+ cable? Also how does that cable compare in thickness to the powerline 1+ cable?
PowerLine+ II is more durable at 30000 bends vs 5000.
I believe PowerLine+ II is slightly thicker than PowerLine+.
I just finished a month off-grid living reliant on a few Anker products including cables. I was human powered so all weight and all volume of Anker products were being lugged by my body.
I had one cable fail, but to be honest, two thinner cheaper cables is less weight than one thicker cable. I fear Anker is over-engineering cables given that the common failure points are the bend at the cable ends as they enter the ends. The focus on cable strength is nonsense, I’d rather a high force on the cable to make the plugs pull out easily to remove the stress on the devices, and the cable withstand the usual wear at the ends, than focus on the cable between the ends.

I am new to Anker products and am looking for a charger to use with the Anker PowerCore II Slim 10000 Ultra Slim Power Bank. I mainly use lightning USB for my phone and micro USB for my headphones both in short 1 foot length. Is there any advantage of using this longer 3 foot 3-in-1 cable over two short individual ones? Would the lightning output power reduced by using the connector?

This is mainly to help simplify people’s cable needs. For those who have multiple devices and only want to carry just 1 cable, that’s who this is for.
Give it a try, it’s well worth it

Do you guys think this cable will be released in 1 feet? It would be really helpful for my purse when traveling.

So it’s almost a year later and I’m still waiting on a 6 foot version for my car.
Since that’s never going to happen it seems, any chance @AnkerOfficial could sell the adapter tips WITH the rubber connecting cords separately? or would it be possible for anker to sell and for me to use a 3 foot usb-A male to Usb-A female extension cord, or would that reduce the amount of power available below 3 amps?
A pocket one, different lengths please.
This is my EDC
I have USB-C phone so that’s the primary purpose but my buds are MicroB and sometimes I help out an iPhone user. This cable is the physically smallest, and I got for free, but it’s low quality, the connection is dodgy. Don’t want to replace with a 3ft version many times larger.
