Belkin BoostCharge Pro Flex USB-A to Lightning Cable — 1 m, White
MFi certified for iPhone and iPadUp to 30× more durable30,000+ bend ratingMagnetic cable strap included
The Belkin BoostCharge Pro Flex cable (part number CAA010BT1MWH) is a 1 m USB-A to Lightning cable built the way a cable should be: a silicone core inside a double-braided nylon exterior, with extended soft strain relief at each end and a satin aluminium head. Belkin rates it up to 30× more durable than an ordinary cable and tested to 30,000+ bends — the figure that matters, because cables die at the connector, not in the middle. It is MFi certified, so it is designed and licensed to connect safely to Apple devices and will not throw the “this accessory may not be supported” warning. A magnetic cable strap with an adhesive metal plate is included, so it coils away or mounts to a desk instead of knotting in a bag.
Compatibility — check before buying:
This is a USB-A to Lightning cable: the USB-A end goes into a standard USB port — a car charger, a laptop, a power bank, an older wall charger — and the Lightning end into an iPhone up to the 14 series, a Lightning iPad, an AirPods case or another Apple Lightning accessory. Note it is USB-A, not USB-C: that means standard charging speeds rather than USB-C Power Delivery fast charging. For fast charging a recent iPhone from a USB-C charger, choose the USB-C to Lightning version instead. Belkin also sells this cable in 2 m and 3 m lengths and in black, blue and pink.
Best For
✓ Anyone still charging from a USB-A port in a car, laptop or power bank
✓ People who have replaced the same frayed cable more than once
✓ Households with older USB-A chargers still in use
✓ iPhone, iPad and AirPods owners on Lightning
✓ Anyone who wants MFi certification rather than a marketplace unknown
✓ Buyers who want a cable that tidies away instead of tangling
Key Features
30,000+ bends, 30× more durable
A double-braided nylon exterior over a silicone core, with extended strain relief where cables actually break. That is why this outlasts several bundled cables rather than joining them in a drawer.
MFi certified
Licensed by Apple, so it connects safely and works without warnings. An uncertified Lightning cable can stop charging after an iOS update — MFi is the protection against that.
Tangle-free silicone core
The silicone inside the braid keeps the cable flexible and stops it kinking. It lies flat on a desk and comes out of a bag straight rather than as a knot.
Magnetic cable management included
A cable strap with a magnetic button and an adhesive metal plate come in the box, so the cable can be mounted at a desk or coiled neatly for travel.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this fast-charge my iPhone?
Not at USB-C Power Delivery speeds — the connector is USB-A, so it charges at standard rates. For fast charging you need a USB-C to Lightning cable and a USB-C charger.
What does MFi certified mean?
It is Apple’s licensing programme. An MFi cable is designed and authorised to connect to Apple devices, so it will not stop working after a software update or show an unsupported-accessory warning.
How durable is it really?
Belkin rates it up to 30× more durable than an ordinary cable and tests it to 30,000+ bends. The failure point on most cables is the strain relief, which is what this design reinforces.
What is the magnetic strap for?
It clips around the coiled cable, and the adhesive metal plate lets you stick the cable to a desk, a bedside table or a car interior so it does not fall behind the furniture.
Singular Expert Insight
The cable that comes in the box with a phone is designed to a price and usually fails at the strain relief within a year or two. Paying more once for a braided cable with a 30,000-bend rating is straightforward arithmetic. The thing to be clear about before ordering is the connector: this is
USB-A, which is right if you are charging from a car socket, a laptop or an older adapter, but it will not fast-charge a recent iPhone the way a USB-C to Lightning cable will. MFi certification is not optional on Lightning — uncertified cables are the ones that stop working after an update. See our

Buyer's Guide
Buy it if
You charge Lightning devices from USB-A ports and you want a cable that will outlast several bundled ones.
Skip it if
You want fast charging from a USB-C charger — take the USB-C to Lightning version — or your devices have moved to USB-C.
Also consider
The USB-C to Lightning version of the same cable if you also own a USB-C charger, and a shorter length for the desk if 3 m is only needed for the sofa.
