Defective Even after a single use

When unpacking, I was skeptical: the cables are so thin and delicate that one dare hardly touch them. Whether that can go well with the stress caused by the cable reel? Well - first: ipad charge. It worked the first time around - but that was about it. Next time charging already no longer worked. Why that was I could not tell. On transition to the Lightning connector, the cable was not quite right - perhaps that was the problem. All: this cable I can not recommend. There is more stable alternatives that do not or hardly cost more .... The cable was incidentally withdrawn without objection, the price refunded quickly.
