      For deals/items like this and for future deals that are known to have these flaws, could the Ozbargain admins/moderators edit the post and include some sort of warnings in the description or something?

        Thought the first line of defence here was to neg the deal to draw attention to the comments, but seems it's discouraged in a way that makes people too reluctant. Guess I'll do it on behalf of the rest (I know stuff all personally about this product or brand).

          The cables have a rep as dodgy as their chargers?

          I thought that the cables should be much simpler and down to wire gauge and the placement of whatever resistor is required for USB-PD. Several years ago there was that guy from Google testing cables and finding loads were out of spec, I'd have thought that the situation would have been better these days.

          (Genuine question here)

          • netsurfer on 20/05/2023 - 13:35
            +3

            @rumblytangara: Yes, they could be dodgy:

            • The e-marking part is the bit where a lot of cheap USB-C/USB-C cable got wrong. Some cables even steal other manufacturer's code. To verify it, you need a USB-C meter supporting that (which costs way more than this cable).
            • The connectors (quality of them) and the wirings + the quality of wires.
            • 1m can be fishy, because it is easier to get away with dodgy quality wires at 1m.

            The main issue with these cheap USB-C/USB-C cables is that when I tested them, they just don't perform as consistent nor as well as original cables. AmazonBasics USB-IF "certified" cable is my general example. If I really have to use that cable, I'd better bring a USB-C meter as well to make sure it does charge at the right voltage and current.

            Most of us don't have a laptop that requires 100W to test this. My Macbook Pro requires that MagSafe cable to use above 100W, so even if I were to test this, I think I can only at best test 90W.

            • rumblytangara on 20/05/2023 - 13:40

              @netsurfer: Thanks.

              USB-C meters, something like this? https://www.amazon.com.au/ET920-Digital-Voltage-Capacity-Res…

              I've got something similar for USB-A but it's just used for curiosity. Is there some function that allows you to tell if a cable is safe versus just charging at a lower than ideal rate? For USB-C amounts of power, I don't really care so much about max charge rates, I am a fair bit more concerned about whether the cable is safe.

              • netsurfer on 20/05/2023 - 13:54
                +2

                @rumblytangara: Not that one, that one serves a different purpose. The meters I was talking about are dongle size, some of them even show you a real time chart of voltage and current. You also need to get a meter that can read the e-mark chip data, preferably one that offers still firmware upgrades (i.e. recent / new models).

                The meter alone won't be sufficient. Some of those meters do plot voltage and current on the little display (and a small number of them do have a PC app which can record the values for a long period of time and plot the graph). Testing is still required. The main issue I had with AmazonBasics cable is fast charging did not even work / start on some occasions (stuck at 5V) and that's on a laptop (12-15W charging on a laptop is too slow). Unplug and plug back in did fix the problem.

                Safety…. Put it this way, I have a 3rd party USB-A cable where the USB-A socket bit blew up. It was for a really old Android phone. I don't know whether it is the cable or the dodgy Xiaomi charger that caused it. $10 for 3 Xiaomi chargers seem fishy. That Xiaomi charger still works, but I won't use it for any phone still under warranty (I might toss it into a bin). That cable is a cable that has led throughout the cable, so when charging, the led lights up and moves in one direction (towards the device). When fully charged, the led light bits don't move.

                  @netsurfer: Hmm…. I used to walk directly into Xiaomi retail stores before I moved here, and also ordered stuff direct from Xiaomi via the Taobao store. Never saw chargers that where 3 for $10 and would strongly suspect fakes.

                  Far as I can tell, Xiaomi's model is to make a huge range of stuff that's pretty decent, and decently cheap, but I've never seen any 'too good to be true' pricing from them.

      It's better to have more objective proof before stating that. i.e. You checked it with an USB-C meter (or a multi-meter) and the voltage & current levels vs original chargers. Noise level. Do fast charging work as consistently as original charger + original cable combination.

      It's easy to assume everything is working fine when devices are charging. In reality, charging is more complicated. Just as an example, Samsung charger with Apple original cable does not enter fast charging mode as consistent nor as fast as original Apple charger and Apple cable combination on Apple devices. There is a bit more voltage and current fluctuation with Samsung original charger + Apple original cable on an Apple device (i.e. iPhone). Once Samsung or Google (once again Original) cables are used, the results are different again. Google USB-C cable on Apple devices appear to charge at a slightly higher voltage + current levels. You need at least a USB-C meter to check these things. Some of them has PC software to let you plot the voltage and current graph. USB-PD 3.0, if enforced, would be much harder to test.

      AmazonBasics USB-C to USB-C USB-IF "certified" cable I got 2-3 years ago isn't good. At times, it fails to go into fast charging mode on Apple Macbook Pro. You cannot tell without a meter (well, you will be able to later because it would take much longer to charge the laptop). After my test, that cable has been collecting dust every since. I also stopped wasting time with 3rd party cables.

    A little unrelated, but I almost bought this Heymix charger before reading the safety concerns and deciding hell no https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0BZRZH2M9/ref=sspa_mw_detail_1…

    Anyone know of a better brand which sells a similar item? A small charger with 2-3 usb-c ports, possibly with the international travel adapter stuff?

    • netsurfer on 20/05/2023 - 10:56

      I don't recommend using multi port chargers on devices you care about. The reason is simple. If you need to design an electronic circuit for multiple ports in a small, compact form factor, it would be much harder to do it well. Most, if not all, 3rd party chargers, use a bare minimum single chip based design (and they slack off on designing the rest of the circuit to really ensure safety). Even Apple and Samsung dual port chargers are not that great (but they are way better than these 3rd party ones). Also, both Apple and Samsung don't go crazy and does 60W for their dual ports.

      You cannot have everything, if that charger is dodgy and you are only willing to pay similar price, you need to let us know which parts of that you are willing to remove (less power, less ports).

      Samsung's dual port 35W is in the same price range. It isn't that great when you considered its fairly ordinary features and the price.

      International travel adapter support, non-dodgy option, Apple has one, but it is $89: https://www.amazon.com.au/Apple-Dual-USB-C-Power-Adapter/dp/…

      So, for both Samsung and Apple, at those prices, you might as well get their higher wattage chargers if you are not fixated with multiple ports.

      Also, not a good idea to ask OZBer for 3rd party chargers. Any OZBer who has guts to recommend a 3rd party charger without a proper teardown review is brave.

      • jaefkbgvbqldqif on 20/05/2023 - 11:17

        I see! Thanks for taking the time to write that, much appreciated.

        My context is mainly “while I’m travelling overseas, charge my stuff (phone, power bank, watch) while I’m asleep”. People recommend taking a powerstrip/powerboard but that sounds so clunky and I’m trying to travel light. But yeah, like you said, you can’t have it all.

        • netsurfer on 20/05/2023 - 12:45

          If it is for overseas, I think it is better to stick with original. It is more annoying if the charger breaks down while you are overseas. Will you be able to "shop around" and wait for the replacement cheap 3rd party charger to arrive?

          Apple world travel adapter kit used to be far more reasonably priced (and used to include a 10W charger). Now, you only get the plugs. PC laptop chargers, there is generally 3 pin clover cable, but getting the right one for overseas in advance is tricky. I get the appeal of some of these 3rd party chargers with replaceable plugs, but the chargers are dodgy.

          Years ago, I got one too, and it came with 4 or 5 plugs, but the charger itself is a bit dodgy so I chucked it away.

        For Macbook Pros, I don't get why one would use 3rd party chargers.

        The thing with USB-PD is that, a chipset has to be used. That chipset itself has some safety measures. However, that's the problem. 3rd party chargers can slack off on safety measures and just push everything to the chipset (you wouldn't know). The issue is the chipset itself is not enough to ensure safety. Higher ripple and noise is quite common. Think about cheap PC power supply vs quality ones.

        I do understand for low cost Android phones, people might prefer to use 3rd party chargers (cheaper). Laptops, I don't recommend. Have a look at your original laptop chargers, do you seriously believe 3rd party compact chargers with multi ports have equal safety measures, comparable quality voltage/current output with a much smaller form factor?

      • netsurfer on 20/05/2023 - 13:03
        +1

        For people thinking about 3rd party chargers are great. Have a think about this:

        If you were to build your own electrical circuit (say for Pi 4 fan control based on temperature), the cheapest components with lower tolerance are at least 2X cheaper than the normal quality ones (not the top notch ones, which cost even more). Furthermore, you could remove some diodes which cater for rare / unexpected cases (if the circuit is only worth $3 or $5, just let it blow if it is not you using it perhaps).

        Step down transformers (240/110V to 20,15,9,7,5V), which are essentially what these chargers are, have lots of areas where corners can be cut. Even for 110V <-> 240V step up / down transformer, there are el cheapo design ones and quality ones. You want to believe the el cheapo ones are just as good, then, go for these chargers. We generally won't learn until one blows up (which happened to me years go, and that 3rd party one I bought from Harvey Norman, blew up soon after the warranty finished).

      Of course not, welcome to USB-C. These cheap USB-C 100W cables are designed for power only. One way to cut cost is not provide wiring to any of the USB 3.0/3.1/3.2 gen 1/2, Thunderbolt data pins. USB 2.0 pins are still wired (coz the wires for USB 2 are cheap and wiring the USB 2 pins are mandatory).

      To be fair, Apple does the same thing with their USB-C to USB-C cables (USB 2.0 only). Majority of Samsung USB-C to USB-C cables are the same, in fact, a lot of them are not even e-marked.

      Quality USB-C to USB-C cables are rare. Most cable makers generally would do better data or better power. The quality ones are expensive. Thunderbolt cables are better quality, but again, there are ways to cut corners (most cheap TB cables are quite short).

      For USB-C to USB-C, I caved in and have some which are good for power delivery, and some which are good for data. The ones which come with USB-C monitors are okay-ish quality for both (and I am being kind there).

    Since these cables are evidently horrible, Anyone have any suggestions of actual decent quality USB C (both c - c and a - c) cables that will last?
    I swear every one I buy lasts tops 1year before karking it.
    The only ones that seem to last longer are the ones that come with phones.

      USB-A to USB-C, if you can get original (i.e. Samsung), get them. There were cheap deals on those years ago.
      USB-C to USB-C is tricky. If it is purely for charging, wait for discounted Apple cables. Samsung cables, the main issue is majority of them are 3A without e-marking chip.
      USB-C to USB-C, you want both data (including video) and 60W is enough (3A for power), get Lenovo USB 3.2 gen 2 cable (1m / 4K 60Hz video alt-mode supported) when discounted.
      Lenovo's idea of supporting 65W or above (inc. 100W+) appears to be integrate the power cable to the adapter directly.

      You really want quality both USB-C data and power delivery, Apple's idea is Thunderbolt 4 (or Thunderbolt 3). However, USB PD 3.1 (up to 240W) raises another question. Apple doesn't let the Thunderbolt 3 cables do more than 100W (I doubt Apple allows Apple Thunderbolt 4 cables to go above 100W). Honestly, USB-C is a big mess.

      Well rated USB-C cables are not safe either. For example one usb-c to usb-c cable got the tick from Benson (aka Benson approved cable) released new batches and some of those new batches have issues, whereas an Anker cable which Benson did not approve (due to issues identified) released a newer batch and Benson's colleague re-reviewed it and the new batch he reviewed was okay. To be fair, Apple does the same thing (releasing different batches of cables). The initial lightning to USB-C 1m cable was USB 3.0 capable, but to lower the cost, Apple removed USB 3.0 support in subsequent batches. It is interesting Apple was trying to prolong lightning because the power portion of lightning is officially 2.4A (not even 3A). However, we see all these 3rd party 3A lightning cables. How exactly are you going to test lightning with 3A?

    For those people thinking USB-C 100W cables are very basic and can't go wrong, you probably forgot this:

    Apple Recalls Faulty USB-C MacBook Charging Cables

    Affected cords "may fail due to a design issue," the company said.

      Totally agreed.

      For the curious, here's a video testing el cheapo USB C cables, timestamped at the point where he discovers one cable reaching an outer temp of 40 degrees C. The whole thing is worth a watch for those curious about just how good/bad cheap USB cables can be.
