Review on Amazon Basics USB Type-C to ⚡ Type-A Double Braided Nylon Cable - 3 Inch by Jesse Hughes

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nobody reads 1 star reviews. The sparks really flew!

that I always bought for all my big brand cables. Too many generic dollar memory failures and I was willing to pay $10-$12 for a cable to get something with sustained performance. I have kids and they fucking threw out the cables. This was the BEST cable bug. There are no production tolerances and quality controls. The cable comes in a great box, in a great bag and looks like an Apple product. But when I plugged it into my Legrand outlet (I've replaced several outlets with USB outlets around the house) it was very tight, but went in. Or so it seemed. And then it flared up and shorted out my outlet. Yes, a $25 outlet fried in the wall. And I'm going to spend an hour this weekend replacing it. I'm sure Revain will refund my money but they won't help with collateral damage. Very disappointed. You get what you pay for. Now that it's been plugged and unplugged into several other USB sockets (as I've been trying to pinpoint what happened) it seems to be working fine. But the damage is done. And I'm not sure I want to trust him anymore. You know, fires and all that.

Pros
  • DEVICE COMPATIBILITY: Connect USB-C enabled devices (MacBook, Chromebook Pixel, Galaxy Note 7, etc.) to standard USB-A enabled devices (car/wall charger, power bank, etc.)
Cons
  • I don't remember, but Da was something
