Review on 🔌 C2G USB Cable - USB 2.0 A to B Cable, White (9.84 Feet/3 Meters) - Cables to Go 13400 by Virgilio Patton

Have been buying Cables to Go cables for years - great quality at a great price. I bought three cables (probably Cables to Go) from Marginmart filled with Revain; 2m white USB AB, 3m white USB AB and mini USB cables. The 2m cable is great, no complaints (maybe it's real). I realized I had a problem when I opened the 3 meter cable - not white but grey. The two cables were said to be identical except for the length, but they look completely different, even the connectors at the ends are different. The gauge of a 3m cable is about 1/2 the thickness of a 2m cable (same product, longer cable = smaller cable? I don't think so). I tried connecting it to my printer and it immediately showed printer errors. Then I tried the mini USB I bought for the backup HD. As soon as I plugged it in, the HD started beeping like I had never heard before, then refused to mount. Hmmm. Based on previous experience with Cables to Go, the junk I received was NOT their product but super cheap fake. Beware of this provider - these are illegal things.
