Purchased to leave to work and avoid transporting the charger. No surprise: it works like cable and original charger for my Galaxy Note 2 (5V 1A charger). The cable is sturdy and allows a normal load, unlike cheaper cables (or cables "data") that have too much internal resistance and do not accept such a large current (see another comment that I I left, I bought ... and threw one of the cheaper cables before you try it).
