Back in 2023, Amazon sent me the UAG Rugged Kevlar Core USB-C to USB-C to test out and review. As a return customer of their cases, I decided to give their cables a try and I have to say I’m impressed buy them. I’m still using this one and it still looks good. Below is my experience with the cable.

The Review

.

The cable is made well and looks good. The ends are a little bulky and may have an issue with some cases. But it works great with my UAG cases. The cable at each end is reinforced at the typical failure points making it more difficult to sharp bends to the cable at each end.

The cable itself looks nice and the multitone is a nice touch. You barely notice it.  When trying to flex the cable it’s more difficult than your average cable. The cable is thick and has multiple layers of protection too.

Another feature is the orange ends make it easy to find the cables in the dark, in the bag, or dark car interior. It’s hard to get lost.

Usage

There isn’t much to say it works great. I mostly use it for charging. I have used it to move images from one device to another. But I have dedicated cables for that.

I originally used the cable with my work computer and a UGREEN power bank when I was running low and there wasn’t a power source nearby. It worked great keeping my computer, iPad, and Cellphone charged. The cable never overheated or even got hot. It charged as fast as it should.

Currently, the cable is my go-to mobile charging cable and stays plugged into my car. Between the high-speed charger and the high speeds this cable can achieve it charges my cellphone and iPad keeps my gear charged during my travels or adds enough charge to keep the phone running when I can’t charge after leaving the car.

Final Thoughts

I’m a big fan of UAG products and they’ve sold me on their cables. In my opinion, they are worth every penny. These rugged cables are perfect for those that are rough on cables. Get yourself a UAG Rugged Kevlar Core USB-C to USB-C and see if it works for you.
