MIXIT↑™ DuraTek™ Lightning to USB Cables
MIXIT↑™ DuraTek is forged from three main high-quality materials: Aramid fibers to reinforce the inner wiring for added strength, abrasion-resistant nylon that forms a tough outer jacket and highly flexible insulation to minimize damage from friction.

2. Drain wiring helps with added protection
3. Insulated conductors reduce friction, create added flexibility and protection
4. Shield-braded, metalized Mylar protects from external electromagnetic interference
5. An added soft, pliable, eco-friendly thermoplastic elastomer cable jacket
6. Double-braided nylon reduces fraying and resists abrasion
The cable is further strengthened by smart design details to reinforce the cable at its stress points to ensure withstanding the most demanding routines. Available in gold, silver, rose gold and black. USD $29.99 to $49.99, CAD $39.99 to $59.99
