I do not know what made my prior braided cable (from a different brand) fail, but it was probably bring walked upon on rare occasion. Its cable braid was reminiscent of old irons used to flatten wrinkles out of clothing.
This Quntis cable has been doing a great job charging my tablet. I'm charging this tablet even now, and by morning it reads 100% charge. I have also replaced the wall tap with the type-C variety that has two C-type ports. This cable I am reviewing has the type-C male for the charger/wall-tap and the lightening cable ready at the other end.
In other words, I modernized my cable and charger block over ones that were a product 5 years ago, both using USB type-A technology and less wattage.
