I feel like cords in general don't last long

I bought a couple - or maybe it came with two, I can't remember - and one is still going strong. The other just recently stopped working. I feel like cords in general don't last long, probably because of how they get wound up, caught on things, kinked, and otherwise abused. I'd make this purchase again though. They feel more sturdy than the average iPhone cable. The length is, of course, the best part.
