Compared to the original cable, Belkin is thicker, both in the wire that plugs. This time, it inspires confidence. It's not every day that has a compatible product that seems sturdier than the original product. The wire also risk less tangling during transport. The original cable is still more elegant and light, but more expensive. It is then a matter of preference. Belkin's failure could be its rather expensive price for a compatible accessory, but the appearance quality catches up instantly.
