Hello List,
I posted several days back about getting the error message "This accessory may not be supported" when charging my iPhone 6 by plugging its lightning cable into a 6-foot USB extension cable attached to my computer. It was obvious that the USB extension cable caused the error because it did not appear when plugging the lightning cable straight into a USB port. I wanted a cable at least 6 feet or longer with a USB male connector on one end and the Apple lightning connector on the other to provide an easily accessed charging point since my mid-tower computer is on the floor. I checked the Apple Store first but they charge just under $30 for a 6-foot lightning cable and I thought that was too high. After getting comments on this list, I purchased from Amazon the [Apple Mfi Certified] / ZerolemonR Lightning to USB Data and Charge Cable/ 3m for Iphone 6 (4.7) / Plus (5.5) /5s / 5c / 5, Ipad Air / Mini / Mini2 / Ipad Air / Ipad 4th Generation, Ipod 5th Generation, and Ipod Nano 7th Generation [2 Year Warranty] - White. Sorry for the long title but that's copied straight from the Amazon website. This 3 meter ZeroLemon cable which is Apple Mfi Certified is about 10 feet and has a 4.4 Amazon reviewers rating and a 2-year warranty. I'm very happy with its fit and finish as the cable is thicker than the Apple-provided one and it charges my iPhone 6 quickly with no recurrence of the this accessory may not be supported error message. Here's a link to it at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00M5JG8ZK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie =UTF8 <http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00M5JG8ZK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?i e=UTF8&psc=1> &psc=1 It sells for $14.49 from the default vendor listed by Amazon but I ordered mine from Bastexwireless who was one of the other suggested vendors and paid $13.68 and got free shipping without having to have an order over $35. I can highly recommend this cable. Many thanks to Sieghard and others who posted guidance on my original thread.
