I needed a long lightning cable to charge my iPad Air on our balcony. After investigating I purchased this Belkin 3 meter cable from Amazon. Of course, Amazon delivered on time as promised. This is an excellent quality cable with high quality connectors at BOTH ENDS. Unpacked the cable and plug it into an Apple original 12W charger and it worked first time, no problem (not sure why there are so many reviews saying thesis cable do not charge; not my experience).
I would highly recommend this Long lightning cable for charging Apple products with lightning connectors. Belkin always make great accessories for Apple products !!
