Stop Torturing Your USB Cables: Simple Fixes to Make Them Last
A BBC tech piece explains that charging cables usually fail at the connector end due to repeated bending and stress, not because of wrapping method. Experts advise avoiding pulling the cable to unplug, not forcing long cords to reach outlets, and not bending the plug-point or letting a device rest on the cable (as in car cup-holder setups). The best path to longer-lasting cables is investing in sturdier, braided designs that offer better durability and shielding.
