A cheap USB - C cable canfry your earpiece or computer . So it ’s nice to see that Amazon is taking action , clamping down on the sale of pitiful - quality USB - 100 cable television that do n’t make the grade .

Amazon has added “ non - compliant ” USB - degree Celsius cable to its inclination of items that are forbid for sale on its site , asTechCrunch report card . They join Cartesian product like videodisc copier , dangerous extension cord , and gadget where consecutive numbers have been off . Amazonexplainsthat it will no longer tolerate the sales agreement of :

Any USB - atomic number 6 ™ ( or USB Type - cytosine ™ ) cable or adapter product that is not compliant with standard specifications issued by “ USB Implementers Forum Inc. ”

Google ’s Benson Leungdemonstrated in the beginning this yearjust how ill made some USB - one C cables are . finally he find one cable — which featured some dubious soldering and even miss out some wire — thatdestroyed all his examination equipment .

The problem stem from cables that have a USB Type - C connection at one end and a USB Type - A connection — the full-grown rectangular one on your pen drive or whatever — at the other . Most Type - A connection do n’t wield the 3 adenosine monophosphate that USB - C can deliver unless they ’re specifically built to — but it ’s hard to discern if they ’ve been right engineered without tearing one aside .

Mercifully , Amazon ’s new rule means it ’s now a bit less of an result .
