This issue is caused by a "fix" by the manufacturer to use thinner wires (USB devices rarely need more than 200mA) to make the cables cheaper. Yes, the good and bad cables are sometimes sold at the same price - but the bad cables give the manufacturer more profit. | |

| Dec 7, 2015 at 21:49 | comment | added | jorfus | There's a google engineer who has been submitting detailed reviews on sub-standard, spec violating USB cables. Quite and amusing and useful read. You can use his reviews to find cables which work properly. amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/A25GROL6KJV3QG/ref=cm_cr_rdp_pdp | |
