Around the house I have a lot of devices that are charged or powered from Micro-USB, this caused me many headaches because so many cables are of low quality: low gauge and poor plating are the usual suspects. So I am planning to throw ALL away to the electronics recycle bin, and buy several (at least a dozen) high quality cables.
Can any of you recommend MicroUSB cables (charge and data) quality at a good price. Please do NOT provide links to shops or sellers in the US as import and transport rates to Europe are expensive. AliEx, BG and GB will be fine if you know a cable product that meets my needs.
I have gradually replaced all my cables with Anker, Ravpower and Portapow. I also kept a few Lindy and Toways which are good too. They all have excellent reviews from a variety of sources.
The Portapow cables I bought are charge only although they also make fully functional cables.
All of these are available either on Amazon or EBay.

I have some Aukey cables and they are really good quality and with no problem they deliver 5V 2.4A. I don’t have device that can use higher amperage so don’t know about 3A.
I prefer Aukey cables because of price/performance ratio.
Set of 5 high quality Aukey cables of different sizes cost around $7 in Aukey offical store at AE.
There are some other similiar quality brands like Blitzwolf, Anker … however like said, with replacing all micro usb cables in house it’s worth to check those (2m x 1 cable, 1m x 2 cable, 30cm x 2 cable) Aukey packs. Or if you don’t like size there’s a variety of other packs.
I don’t think you can get anything better for this or even some more money.
Oh, one can pay more for Aukey cable too, however my statement about p/p above stand.
Don’t get me wrong, I am familiar with Anker excellence too, however there’s nothing what can beat proven price/quality ratio of Aukey cables I believe.
Example of comparable high quality, but still half cheaper Aukey cable:
I can vouch for BlitzWolf and Tronsmart :+1:
But something I can’t seem to find is a good quality short cable. For example 10-20cm… for using with powerbanks.
If someone knows please share a link - micro and usb-c both
I heard some good things about Tronsmart cables too, however never used one. Price seems okay. Next time when I will be shopping around for longer USB cables I may use your url instead of my usual (Aukey ) pick.
@zipelgas in suggested Aukey 5-cables pack (link above) you can get two decent quality 30cm micro usb cables for a really nice price.
Ravpower, lately they’ve seemed to have gone from a plastic plug to an all metal design, feels a lot sturdier and more positive plugging in.
Used anker and decent but similar to what ravpower used to be.
