Our Verdict
TheMos Spring Lightning cabledoes a good occupation of balance strength with size . While the other tiptop - tough cable television service are thick and heavy , the Spring Lightning cable manages to be slim and lightweight without compromise on protective covering .
The Spring Lightning line is so - named because it feature two steel springs attached at the cablegram ’s necks , where the cable is decrepit . These spring facilitate foreclose overbending to extend the cable television ’s life . This crop pretty well — in fact , one easy elbow room to fix a cable that ’s already started frazzle at the neck is to extract a spring from an honest-to-god penitentiary and slither it around the cable ’s cervix . It ’s sort of like a whippy splint .
Mos ’s cablegram amount in two people of color ( snowy , blackanddark gray ) and four distance ( 1 foot,3 feet,6 feet , and10 feet ) and costs $ 19 for the 1 - foot version , $ 23 for the 3 - understructure rendering , $ 30 for the 6 - human foot adaptation , and $ 38 for the 10 - substructure version . It ’s not any cheaper than Apple ’s original cable , but the built - in outpouring is definitely more durable than a makeshift pen springtime .
The Spring Lightning cable television is enclose in Mos ’s trademarked “ Exoskeleton ” weave , which seems to be made of some sort of shiny , long-wearing nylon or plastic . This weave makes the cable a fleck cranky , but it ’s deserving the forfeit for how long-wearing it is . I ’m not certain I could cut this cable with a knife ( maybe a saw ) or scissors if I try out .
Bottom line
Mos ’s Spring Lightning cable is a great , durable cable , but it ’s definitely not cheap . It does n’t find as deluxe or premium as some of the other cables in a interchangeable Mary Leontyne Price range . That ’s fine , though , because many people will prefer the lightweight Spring cable length over something thick and much indestructible .
