    What an extreme sounding name for a usb cable!

  • d3ft on 07/11/2015 - 20:31

    Why is this sort of cable only appearing now? Micro USB has been pretty ubiquitous for a while now, you'd think someone would've come up with this ages ago. Makes me doubt whether it actually delivers …

    • Mixhael on 07/11/2015 - 20:34

      Well I guess people know now that it's something in demand, after people say they want USB type C for the same reason.

      • CyberMurning on 07/11/2015 - 20:41

        but lighting cable has been around for a while. someone should think of this at least a year ago maybe the research isnt that easy.

        • Mixhael on 07/11/2015 - 20:42

          Second thing is incentive. Companies didn't have to compete with USB C or lightning until the last few years.

        • Minotaur on 08/11/2015 - 10:56

          The lightning cable is proprietary. USB-C is an international standard.

    • Fappo on 08/11/2015 - 01:49

      Yeah, no way would I pre-order this product. If it actually gets proven to work well in the wild then maybe I will cough up a few bucks to make my life ever-so-slightly more convenient.

    • outlander on 08/11/2015 - 10:30

      Without knowing anything about it, to be reversible means each contact point has to have two instead of the usual one terminals, separated by an insulator, inside the same space footprint as before. Being thinner means more susceptible to snapping, more danger of the contacts wearing out from multiple insertions. That leads to the use of tougher metals, and being harder to manufacture. Which ultimately leads to higher cost. Which is ultimately the reason why we don't have anything.

      Everything basically exists already, in some form, its just uneconomical for mass production at this point in time.

      • llama on 10/11/2015 - 16:14

        … Being thinner means more susceptible to snapping, more danger of the contacts wearing out from multiple insertions.

        Yeah, but there are TWO SETS of contacts in each plug, and due to the "law of random insertions", each set will get used more or less equally.

        Therefore the amount of wear that you describe is halved.

    I think I would still instinctively check which way it is hahah

    I ordered them about a week ago via https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/216919
    AUD $10.16 for 3. same discount code too.
    got an email a few days back saying they are shipped.

    I always forget Cash Rewards though.

    • A3Australia on 08/11/2015 - 00:21

      I ordered them about a week ago

      I ordered then 12 days ago.

      got an email a few days back saying they are shipped.

      I have not received any shipping advice.

      • PVA on 08/11/2015 - 10:51

        exact dates as I was only guessing before… so mine was ordered same date as yours (when the original post on OzB was posted.
        order date 10/26/2015 02:10:11
        shipped date 11/04/2015 09:11:05

        just becuase I got an email doesn't actually mean I will get them before you (or at all). I am not very trusting of OS companies selling cheap goods, hope they change my view.

    I'm worried that this would damage the micro-usb port of the device after a while.

  • Vampyr on 08/11/2015 - 00:24

    These USB ports were so poorly designed. From an engineering background, it's baffling.

  • [Deactivated] on 08/11/2015 - 01:01

    Flogging a dead horse. I sounds good buvwith type c already here then there is not much to improve our gain on an old design.

    • deanylev on 08/11/2015 - 09:21

      A lot of new popular phones are coming out/have come out with micro-USB (Z5 series, Oneplus X, Note 5/S6 Edge+, Huawei Mate S, HTC One A9, some others), and people are gonna keep these for at least 1-2 years, so why not cheaply innovate on an older design?

      • [Deactivated] on 08/11/2015 - 10:48

        Given that we wan the best in data transfer by our network but we bottleneck at the USB connection.

        Anyway didn the samsun galaxy s4 come out with a fancy fast USB port?

        • Tea-Aholic on 08/11/2015 - 12:53

          It was the S5 and Note 3.

        • Minotaur on 08/11/2015 - 12:59
          +1

          @Tea-Aholic: You can still use a USB2 cable with the S5 and Note3 though, just plug it in on the side of the socket that it fits. It'll still charge and give you USB2 transfer speeds.

        • Tea-Aholic on 08/11/2015 - 15:12

          @Minotaur: Yep! I did know about that and it was cool!

    • PVA on 08/11/2015 - 10:53

      that doesnt help with current phone though.
      I only use it for charging so don't care about data rates.

    No chance that this will meet USB reliability standards. Might be "good enough" in some applications?

  • Den on 08/11/2015 - 13:26

    Any idea if it work with USB3.0?

    • senorclean on 08/11/2015 - 17:31

      Definitely not for data, but if the device has a USB3 micro-usb 'b' style port (eg Note 3 / SGS5) - this will fit in half of it for charging and USB2 data transfer.

      • Den on 08/11/2015 - 18:02
        +1

        My concern is about the fact that USB3 (big one, type A I guess) has additional contacts. And the page does not say anything about compatibility.

        • senorclean on 08/11/2015 - 20:08

          Fair call - though the extra (other side) pins will be where the solid section usually is… so in my imagination it would be fine.

          You would hope they would have tested it on a USB3 port at some stage!

      All three cables?

      • Super8Tab on 19/11/2015 - 16:58

        just one of them, it just doesn't charge anymore, I'm using the 2nd and it seem ok so far.

          As a matter of principle invoke the 18 month warranty that they say on the site this cable has.

  • kwchaz on 03/12/2015 - 19:59

    Mine were only marked as posted today…?!?!?!?! Completely forgot I'd ordered them.
