5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Belkin BoostCharge Braided USB-C to USB-A cables, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Handle with Care: Avoid excessive bending, twisting, or pulling on the cable, especially near the connectors. While designed for durability, extreme stress can cause damage.
