Want a tough USB Type-C cable for your Galaxy S8 or Google Pixel? The Belkin DuraTek USB-C might be what you need

Usually, spending more than $10 or $15 on a USB cable for your smartphone may not be justified. But what if you want a really tough cable that can't be damaged easily, and not even your dog can chew? Well, then you might want to hear about the Belkin DuraTek USB-C, a brand new USB Type-C cable that's compatible with many high-end smartphones, including the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+.

Built with Kevlar fibers, abrasion-resistant double-braided nylon, and thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), the Belkin DuraTek USB-C is very resistant to splitting and breakage, being able to "withstand 5000+ cycles where the cable is bent to 180-degrees." The cable is 4 feet (1.2 meters) long, and supports fast charging (3A) and data transfers up to 480 Mbps. Moreover, you're getting a 5-year warranty.

You can use the Belkin DuraTek USB-C to charge your smartphone, or to connect it to other USB Type-C devices - like the Google Chromebook Pixel, or Apple's latest MacBook models. Here's a list of smartphones compatible with the new cable, as provided by Belkin (though other USB Type-C handsets should be compatible as well):
