Hi everyone,

Last time we promoted our 24 AWG cables:
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/127218
A few people complained that they are pretty much the same as the 26 AWG one and the cable looks thinner.

    Nice 1 rep. People bought the tab 3 from TGG deal now can get a case here.

    • jee on 27/03/2014 - 09:58

      are these leather cases?

      Rep,
      do you have leather cases in stock?

    I can vouch for yhe quality of these cables. Some of the best I have ever used.

    • furythree on 27/03/2014 - 10:50

      Theyre good and cheap

      Ive scoured the net for cheap high current cables that deliver to australia and these are the cheapest for the length and Amperage

      However ive spent $60 the past month buying cables from about 12 different sellers to test the various cables

      Ive found better ones with a ferrite core (much thicker) and charge at a higher rate

      These tikbro ones are kind between shitty $1 1A cables and $20 2A cables
      They dont really charge at full 2A. But that could be because i was using a 26awg

      I might buy one of these 24awg which should surely charge at 2A

      WHY DIDNT YOU DO THIS SALE LAST WEEK! couldve saved me $60!

      The main point is, its super cheap for something that is able to charge a windows 8 tablet which requires a higher current. WHich is amazing

      Rep, for clarification, do these cable still sync? or have all 4 pins been taken up for power?

    • spy on 27/03/2014 - 15:01

  • jy808 on 27/03/2014 - 09:07

    Sorry for being ignorant, but is this the cable for Samsung Galaxy S4 devices?

    • ProjectZero on 27/03/2014 - 09:32
      -1

      If i'm not mistaken, the S4 uses USB 3.0 cables… so these cables will work with it (for charging only i think) but not the other way around (S4 cables will not work on S3 and below)

      EDIT haha ops, i just checked and yeah the S4 uses usb 2 my bad =P

    • PissLUR on 27/03/2014 - 09:51

      Yes, this is good for s4.

    Hi,

    Just wondering in regards to the USB cables. Will they charge my device (normally)? i.e not super slow.

    Thanks

    • nothommus on 27/03/2014 - 09:33
      +3

      Thats the point of the 2A output possible. These are high quality cables with extremely minimal loss. If your input to the cable is 2A, you will get 2A out and it will charge quite fast (depending on what device obviously). If your input to the cable ie your wall usb plug only puts out 500mah though they will still charge slow.

        Yes this will definitely work for the galaxy s3.

  • cyrax83 on 27/03/2014 - 09:50

    Never knew you actually needed a 2A cable to pump out 2A from a 2A wall charger. Thought any cable would do

    • bluechan on 27/03/2014 - 10:21
      +1

      I've got myself one of those USB Voltage and Current display gizmos. My (current) 2m cable only allows about 500mA. I switched cables and I was getting around 1A. Cables do make a difference.

    • Russ on 27/03/2014 - 14:08
      +3

      Here's how you work out what a cable can supply.

      Current = (Voltage drop) divided by resistance.

      For a lithium rechargeable battery, the voltage is at full charge is 4.2V. The charger chip will have a small voltage drop too, usually about 0.2V. You are charging from a 5V plugpack, so the allowable voltage drop is 5V - (4.2V + 0.2V) = 0.6V

      Resistance you get from a chart. Resistance of 26AWG copper wire is 0.134 ohms per meter, so a typical 2m USB cable with 26AWG wire will have a resistance of 4x0.134 = 0.536 ohms (remember there are two power wires in a USB cable, so a 2m cable has 4m of wire). Resistance of most wire gauges comes from a chart, here's a typical one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_wire_gauge#Tables_of_A…

      So the maximum current that can be supplied towards the end of charge is 0.6V/0.536 ohms = 1.12 amps.

      24AWG wire is 0.084 ohms per meter, so it can supply 1.78A for a 2m USB cable. Many charging cables are only 1m long, and at that length, both 24AWG and 26AWG cables can supply the full 2A.

    Anyone know if these will fit the charging port of a Galaxy Note 3 in a Spigen or Otterbox case? Only the slim tip OEM cables have worked for me so far.

    Rep, can the power bank charge and discharge at the same time, i.e. put them into AC adapter and charge your phone at the same time?

  • spikiii on 27/03/2014 - 10:37

    Ever since I tried Tikbro I have never bought any other brand again, I have 30+ cables from Meritline that are useless, and all the ones off eBay as well, they can barely charge and cheap low quality.

    The best charging cable ever! as good as the official ones you get in the box with a brand new phone. Don't pay $30 in store.

    edit: and with cheaper cables when you try plug it into your PC to transfer files to/from it either crashes or fails to read properly, or windows says "We have noticed you have a cable that is less than USB 2.0 or something, you may experience slower transfer speeds". But with Tikbro it works perfect every time. Happy fast charging.

  • Kritta on 27/03/2014 - 13:27

    Thanks for the post. I bought a few cables to scatter around the office to stop people stealing the one I keep in my pigeon hole. Does anyone have any tips regarding what would be a good wall charger to plug these into?

  • spy on 27/03/2014 - 14:58

    I ordered a 3m last time. Lasted me a month before the end became wonky/touchy. Was not impressed especially after all the good feedback. Missed the opportunity to raise a PayPal claim. :-(

    • PissLUR on 27/03/2014 - 15:02

      are you sure that you bought a Tikbro cable from this seller?
      because there was another seller selling a 3 meter cable around the same period.

    • Click_It on 27/03/2014 - 15:06

      It wasn't just me then… My 2m one went wonky after about a month also. Inferior plastic or something, I have cheaper cables (that certainly don't charge as fast as Tickbro does) which have not suffered this fate and still work.

      Tickbro cables do charge faster, but in my experience weren't made as strong as others are.

      Rep: I'm not complaining, 2 or 3 bucks lost big deal. Just wondering if they may have been a bad batch or if construction has changed? I'd like to buy more but don't want the same fate for the new ones :/

        The faulty rate of the tikbro cable is really low. Maybe 1 in 3000.

    Do you have any 24 AWG mini cables (A Male To Mini B) ?

    • ronorboris on 28/03/2014 - 01:42

      Adding to this. If you used a micro-to-mini adapter on one of these cables, would the adapter add enough resistance to reduce the cable's performance?

    • Store Repwhowantthegoodies @ BulkSales on 08/04/2014 - 12:09

      Not yet. We will consider getting other types in.

  • vt on 31/03/2014 - 15:46

    Looks to be the same 24 AWG cable that people weren't happy with in your last deal. Since you're charging the same price as the previous 26 AWG cables I guess one can't really complain this time round.

  • Bitsurfr on 02/04/2014 - 19:37

    @Rep I bought your 26AWG cables last time and they were quite thick and this batch of 24AWG cables is quite thinner and more flexible. Aren't 24AWG cables suppose to be thicker?

    • vt on 02/04/2014 - 20:02

      You can look at the previous 24AWG deal to see other people thought the same.

      There would have been a lot more negative votes in the last 24AWG deal if people, like myself, had not voted positive before receiving the product.

      The thing that worries me is that these new 24AWG cables have no rating info on them. The initial 26AWG and most quality cables I have seen have this info printed clearly.

      The last deal was only for a 1M 24AWG cable and I bought another 1M this time to see if it was different. Curious if anyone bought the 2M one in this deal and if the quality is any better?

      • Bitsurfr on 02/04/2014 - 20:09

        I bought 2m cables both times.

    • Store Repwhowantthegoodies @ BulkSales on 04/04/2014 - 15:44

      The quality of the cable is by its durability and charging rate. There is nothing to do with how thick the cable is. With the same budget, we can spend all the money to make it look very good but bad jacketed steel inside, or we spend all the money to delivery you the best copper with reasonable protection.

      Most people love our cables because of the fact that our cables charge faster and last longer than all other cables on the market. The good looking branded ones might charge as fast but they cost 10 times more.

      I am sorry if our cable disappoint you by its look but trust me, they are really good.

      We noted that people want to have a thicker looking cable and we are working on that. Please keep loving us and we promise you that we will always deliver the best product at OZBARGAIN price!
