Review on πŸ”΄ 1 Foot Red Amazon Basics Double Braided Nylon USB 2.0 A to Micro B Cable by Rodney Gonzalez

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Burned out after 1.5 months!

I received this cable on November 2nd and am satisfied with the quality. It worked fine for a while. Then, on December 15, I got up early for work and sat on the couch. It was a strange smell which I thought must have come from outside. I tried to decipher the smell when I connected the device to this cable. When I grabbed the end of the mini USB I immediately dropped it as it felt hot! I unplugged it immediately and upon closer inspection saw that the plastic around the mini-USB had melted a bit. A lot of the reviews were good so I'm pretty sure I've only had one faulty one, but you might not want to leave it plugged into a wall charger when you're not using it. I plan on contacting Revain for a replacement so I'm not saying not to buy, just warning people who do.

Pros
  • DURABLE CONSTRUCTION: Double braided nylon exterior for protection, strength and flexibility; Cable tested 10,000 times for 90 degree bend
Cons
  • thin
