Ipad Charging Cable.
18 Answers
My ipad charging cable is pulling away from the connection because I sometimes stretch it, trying to use the ioad while its charging.
So I thought I'd by a longer one this time; but I read this as a reason not to buy a 2 or 3 meter cable
....We recommend 1M Cables for iPads due to the Amp required....
What does that mean?

A longer cable means that there will be greater electrical resistance, meaning that more power is lost in heating the cable. The statement you refer to seems to be implying that using a long cable won't leave enough power to charge the iPad (and/or that the cable will get excessively hot). Unless that supplier is using exceptionall y poor quality (very thin)...

Unless that supplier is using exceptionally poor quality (very thin) cables, that seems ridiculously over-cautious because Apple (who make iPads and ought to know a thing or two about them!) will happily sell you 2m and 3m charging cables [if you're prepared to pay their extortionate prices!]

OK, I admit it. I thought that 'MFI certification' meant that it was poor-quality flat-pack furniture ;-)
I'd genuinely never heard of it but reading through this lot suggests that it might be important:

Once you've got it though, I would expect any cable to work.

Damn ..... I tried hard to buy well but the cable arrived today and there is no life in it whatsoever! It didn't cost much so I'm not bothered about a refund, more interested in knowing how to buy a 2-3m cable for my ipad successfully? Prefer not to spend £28 for one!
Any thoughts where I went wrong?

I bought 2 of these in October last year and they're still working well http:// www.ama zon.co. uk/gp/p roduct/ B00UBLO JJG
I'm using a lightning cable just like the one in your link Fitzer. Plugged into the same socket usb adapter with surge protection that I have always used.
I rebooted again and it recharged happily. However once I disconnect the new cable and reconnect it again, it fails to work. I won't want to be rebooting it everytime I want to charge the ipad for a bit. Any more ideas?
