You can never have too many charging cables and with the iXCC 2-pack, you can pick up 2 Lightning cables for less than the cost of 1 Apple OEM Lightning cable.

Charge Connectivity

These cables allows a full 2.4 amp charge.  During testing, I did not notice any resistance in the power transfer.  Some lower-quality cables can reduce charging speed due to their inability to transfer a full 2.4 amp charge.

Data Connectivity

In addition to charging, these cables can be used to connect your iPhone to your laptop and back it up with iTunes.  I did not notice any issues while syncing data with these cables.

Durability

These cables does not feature a nylon covering which may decrease durability somewhat.  However, the cord is thicker than the OEM Apple Lightning cable (see image below).

Warranty

Compared to the OEM Apple Lightning cable, the iXCC is thicker.

iXCC gives a generous 2 year warranty on their cables that even covers wear and tear.  The only thing that would score this higher would be a lifetime warranty, but I’ve found that if a cable is going to fail, it typically happens within the first year.

Excellent

This iXCC Lightning cable 2-pack costs less than a single Apple OEM Lightning cable. The cables appear to be more durable and they're back by a 2 year warranty.
