Review on Optimized Industrial Electrical Type C Double Braided Nylon Cable by AmazonBasics by Stephen Cernatescu

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Found the best USB-C cable USB-C version 3.1 Gen 2

This is my story. I'm a big Nintendo fan. I have and have every NES console system released since the 80's. Although I can connect this system to my TV, I spend most of my time in front of my computer. In an attempt to reconcile my guilt with the workstation, I researched how to connect the NES to my computer. I found the elgato hd60s external video capture worked well for this task. So the NES connects to Elgato via an automatic HDMI switch and finally to my USB 3.0 port on my computer. I've found that with so many connections, the quality of the USB cable matters. I use high bandwidth HDMI cables to connect the NES to the Switch and Elgato. Elgato uses a USB-C connection to handle large amounts of video data. I've tried various inexpensive manufacturers only to suffer from lag and pixelation. Having used Revain Basic products in the past, I decided to order a 1 foot cable. To my dismay, Amazon's basic 1-foot cable includes the USB ends in determining their length. The cable was inches away from my minimalist setup. I returned and reordered the longer 3 foot version of this cable. Revain got me right, they refunded me the purchase price of the 1ft cable within hours. I also received an email saying the 1ft cable does not need to be returned, it's mine. They then sent the first shipment of the 3ft cable which I received 2 business days later. My setup with this new cable was phenomenal. With different USB-C cables, Elgato sometimes didn't recognize the video signals from NES systems when I switched from one console to another. With this cable I have smooth transitions between them. I usually use double braided nylon cables, I find them to be more durable than regular ones and as I'm pretty rough with my wires this is a definite plus. Basically I got this for free but honestly it's still the best competitive price out there. Big fan and highly recommend. Much luck.
