I think it's slightly better than <insert anonymous three day old Chinese company here> but just slightly. Amazon Basics within my company has earned a reputation for being extremely fragile crap that will break quickly and, occasionally, dramatically. I have had absolutely awful experiences with their surge protectors.
But yes - it's a step up from YAYWOWND which is a company that probably didn't exist last week and almost certainly won't exist in a month when their product spontaneously combusts and you try and chase down damages or at least a refund... Still, I'm actually finding myself buying more and more name brand crap because at least that way I know there's a company I can reach out to when it breaks down.

- chx 3y agoThe /r/usbchardware subreddit used to recommend AmazonBasics cables because they are USB IF certified https://www.usb.org/single-product/728 https://www.usb.org/single-product/728 but lately... https://www.usb.org/products https://www.usb.org/products the entire company is gone. https://i.imgur.com/qFzHbvP.png https://i.imgur.com/qFzHbvP.png It also used to be you could use the ASIN to search for it... you can't now.
