Review on CableCreation Compatible External Handwriting Radiator by James Mayfield

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Ephemeral product

I bought 2 of these. I needed short USB extension cables for things like a cell phone cable to connect to a desktop computer or to extend another short power cable to an external hard drive. I used them regularly. at least 5 or more times a week, plugging and unplugging them as I commute between school and my home. After 18 months of regular use, the connections became unreliable. The ends of the cable won't maintain a stable connection between my hard drive (which keeps disconnecting) and my cellphone, which keeps beeping the start of the connection (you know the sound), maybe if you want this product to connect once forgotten for months, this might work just fine for you. But in my case they broke with almost regular daily use. The problem was in the square connection. where the cord ends (e.g. where most extension cords break). The problem was that I bought them specifically because they were braided cable which was supposed to be more durable. I was looking for a VERY durable product. It's not like this. I threw BOTH cables in the trash yesterday (remember I bought a set of 2) because BOTH were showing the SAME symptoms so it wasn't just a bad cable. Save money or look elsewhere if you want a durable product. It's not like this.

Pros
  • USB cable
Cons
  • Crumpled
