Braided beauty

If you're looking for a durable option, then braided nylon is the best way to go. It holds up better to bending than rubber cables and doesn't tangle as easily. Rampow's cables feature stainless steel connectors and an unconditional lifetime warranty. If anything at all goes wrong with your cable (aside from you cutting it up with scissors), give Rampow a shout and it'll replace it for you.
