Xiaomi has launched a USB cable that will end the biggest problem we mobile device users face. Known as Xiaomi 6A — not to be confused with Redmi 6A — this USB cable made of silicone promises long-term durability. Its design prevents it from breaking or forming knots, something we often experience with cables from other brands.
The Xiaomi 6A cable is made up of a high-quality wire core, coated with a layer of soft-touch silicone which is not easy to intertwine. According to the manufacturer, the USB cable has passed safety and reliability tests and has certifications that ensure its durability.
He Xiaomi 6A Withstands more than 100N plug tensile strength. Can be bent at a 90° angle more than 20,000 times, plug in more than 10,000 times to your mobile port or more than 3,000 times to the charger. The figures are not lower and exceed other higher priced USB cables.
Although durability is the strong point of the Xiaomi 6A, the manufacturer does not neglect other features. The wire USB-A to USB-C is 2 meters long and is compatible with mobile devices, tablets, computers, video game consoles or any electronic device. If you connect it to your laptop Supports data transfer speed up to 480 Mbps.
Also offered fast charging up to 120W for compatible phones such as the Xiaomi 11T Pro, Redmi Note 13 Pro or Xiaomi 15 Ultra.
Xiaomi 6A USB Cable: price and availability
He Xiaomi 6A is available in three colors (white, blue, purple) and can be purchased from the official YouPin store on AliExpress. The price for Spain is 6.88 euros with free shipping. If you live in Mexico, you will have to pay 204 pesos plus a charge of 37 pesos for shipping.
It is difficult to know if the Xiaomi 6A will last a lifetime, although we could anticipate that it has a longer life than the average cable included in mobile phones. While other manufacturers opt for a braided cable, Xiaomi opts for a silicone cover and a typical design without angles on the USB-C connector.
The latter makes us doubt its durability, since it is the part that deteriorates the fastest in a cable. In any case, the Xiaomi 6A is priced so low that it doesn’t matter if it has an average life of two or three years.
