Updated Feb 5, 2015

Färbe Technik’s durable double-soldered USB cables for Apple, Blackberry and Samsung mobile devices have a break-resistant outer TPE jacket and a thick (3.5-4.2 mm) reinforced outer TPE connecting jacket to help maximize strain relief. The cables have a foil shield and a protective wire mesh, and a silicon inner shield helps protect electronics from damaging elements. An increased cable diameter helps allow the cables to charge 30 percent faster.
