I am always a little skeptical when ordering a cable like this one. I was expecting a linger cord,but that is my fault and not the products. I did not pay close enough attention. The cord is a little longer than the one Apple gives you, but not significantly longer. It seems to be well made and it fits snugly into your devices.If you are looking for a replacement cord buy this one. If you are looking for a longer cord,I would keep looking.(Update)Cable has quit working after only a few days. I am returning all three that I ordered.
