Finally there's 3m cables on offer! :)

Also rep - could we pretty please have an offer on a USB wall adapter? I might have broken a few of mine…

  I'd recommend getting a good branded USB wall adapter instead. They usually have better electronics that detect a full charge on your battery and stop sending more charges.
  
  By itself, cheap USB wall adapters are okay to use, as most good batteries also have the safety switch to turn off current when full. However, when used in combination with dodgy batteries, you could end up with an exploding grenade.

    - Click_It on 16/05/2014 - 08:47
      
      What he said, assuming it's true about the wall adapter controlling the charge.
    - sickburn on 16/05/2014 - 10:58
      
      I use this as it supplies 2.1A to each port at the same time.
      
      http://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/kensington-ab…
      
      However I am thinking of buying this one as well, as I no longer have any tablets to charge:

    The wall adapter doesn't control the charge, the phone (or other device) does.
  - CodeXD on 16/05/2014 - 08:58
    
    I suggest this too, its a combination of wall adapters and cables that will allow the phone to charge smoothly. I've bought random wall chargers on ebay and turns out they only have output of 500mHA even when used with these cables. Ended up buying 2 of these: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Nexus-4-Nexus-7-Nexus-10-Wall-Cha… (same seller) and I've never had any issues.

Hey rep, are the 3m ones better quality than the previous lot which many OzBargainers reported as failing within a month? Also is it possible to get a swap on the faulty one I received? I raised the question a couple of times on your previous posts…

These cables are really good. I had problems charging Nexus 7 with other cables, but not with Tikbro. I even created a USB wattmeter to find out where is the problem and turned out cables are to blame.

Highly recommend!

I bought 3 2m cables last time around and they all broke within 3 months. I can't recommend these.
- shadow131 on 16/05/2014 - 09:58
  
  Ive had my cable for over a year now.
  Not here to argue. Just saying it depends on how much care you put in.
  Also i charge 3 devices with this, so yes i do use it frequently.

      I've got two 3m ones and one has failed in the first month, the other has lasted 6+ months. So I guess its a bit of a quality control issue.
  - spy on 23/05/2014 - 18:41
    
    Oh I disagree. My 3m junk of a cable that the rep wants me to post back at my cost got mega good care and was only used a few times.
    
    The rep also confirms the new batch being better, implying that the previous was not. Quality manufacturers don't have these issues.

Hi rep, is the micro usb pin thin enough to charging with a phone cover on? There are a lot of these aftermarket micro usb cables with very thick fitting which can't be used to charge a phone with the cover on. Please advise.

  I'm not OP or a rep, but here are a couple of pics of the Tickbro along side a stock HTC One cable.
  http://imgur.com/1z5jcSj
  http://imgur.com/Ifh6kvY
  
  The Tikbro is the oblong shaped one, the HTC is oval. I don't have a vernier caliper but by eye, the Tikbro looks like they measure about 9.5-10mm by 6.5mm.
  
  I hope that helps.
  - baj on 16/05/2014 - 11:15
    
    Many thanks Flyerone for your detailed explanation with the photos. That was very helpful. I struggle to find a good cable which would fit on my nexus 5 with the bumper cover on. I have an old samsung cable which I use as a spare one and need another good cable for charging in my car mainly.

  They both work. One is USB 3.0 which will allow better data transfer speeds. Everything else is the same. You can plug the micro USB 2.0 into the 1/2 of the 3.0

Can someone tell me (a) if the 3m cable is good for data transfer as well or just charging; and (b) what sort of USB cable (length/ quality) comes with the charger?
lomie on 16/05/2014 - 10:15

Bought 3m ones this time round to power the SJ4000 action camera. Previous 1m and 2m ones looks good and works well. The 2m ones just weren't long enough to tuck along the windscreen and dash.

I had mixed results with these cables. Bought something like 10 of them and 4 have since become virtually unusable with the mechanism to keep the cable firmly plugged in wearing out quite rapidly, so those cables now slip out all the time. The other 6 located elsewhere (including the one by my bed) seem to be okay though. For how cheap they are I'm not too fussed… just bought another dozen.

Geniune question, what is the difference between these and the cheapo ones off ebay??
- team teri on 16/05/2014 - 11:30
  
  more copper, so higher current (up to 2A) ==> faster charging
  that assumes your charger supplies and device can use more than 500mA
  - homersyd on 16/05/2014 - 11:37
    
    thanks mate, so these will work for BOTH charging + data?? cos I had cables before where it only charges but doesnt work when connected to PC…

  A 3m 26AWG is a bit thin. I don't think it will fast-charge higher-current devices like a tablet.
  You can get thick 24AWG 3m cables on ebay for $9.99. That will definitely fast-charge tablets and phones.
  - zeckem on 17/05/2014 - 13:31
    
    I'm comparing them to the cheap knockoff cables on ebay which don't charge at all (not the $10 ones obviously). I just need one for my room with the exact length, not worried if it's not as fast as 24AWG

Guh, I "bought" some yesterday, but they are still in my cart, at a higher price. Paypal must have timed out. Still got the $30 charger though.

This was posted 10 years 6 months 6 days ago, and might be an out-dated deal.
