(Part 4) Top products from r/UsbCHardware

There are brands that make cables shorter such as this one but they seem like they’re cheap cables. My purpose for the cable is to use it to connect my phone to my car, and I want to make sure I’m getting a trusted cable.

>Thanks for the analysis, good stuff !

>Still have a follow-up question: There are logos for HiSpeed, SuperSpeed and SuperSpeed+, so there may be three different types of cables. I can see the HiSpeed vs SuperSpeed difference with former only having USB 2.0 wires. Is there a SuperSpeed vs. SuperSpeed+ difference in the cable ?

​

SuperSpeed (Gen 1, 5gbps) cables' SuperSpeed pairs are only guaranteed to pass USB's signal integrity requirements up to 5ghz. The Gen 1 cable's e-marker is also programmed to identify itself as a Gen 1 cable, so a USB host that checks the cable will restrict the speed of the link to 5gbps in the presence of that cable.

Gen 2 cables are built to a higher tolerance so their SI is still within the limits at 10ghz.

Also, a practical limitation: Existing passive cable technology means that longest Gen 1 cables are 2m. Gen 2 cables, because of the far tighter SI requirements, are practically limited to 1m.

If you want longer than a 1m SuperSpeed cable today, you'll have to settle for Gen 1 speeds (or do active cables... long story there).

​

>Some presumptions:
>
>SuperSpeed only (5GB) cables will vanish from the market (if there is even a difference to 10G). The 5G/Gen1 AmazonBasics cables on Amazon are no longer available.

The AmazonBasics Gen 1 cables are still available. https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-USB-Type-C-Gen1-Cable/dp/B01GGKYUKI

Again, Gen 1 cables are not likely to vanish because they're the only way to get 6ft/2m cables today. Gen 2 passive cables have a practical limit of 1m/3ft.

>SuperSpeed+ and 5 amps require the e-mark to show their capability.

​

SuperSpeed, SuperSpeed+, or 5A. If the cable supports any of those, an e-marker is required.

That's insane, thanks! I could see someone taking the new Lenovo 135W adapter https://global.rakuten.com/en/store/compmoto-r/item/4589702075210/ which is 361 grams as shown in this awesome https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comments/amghwl/best_charger_for_your_w540_w541_p50_p51_p52/ post. Plug converter to 5.5/2.5 available at https://www.aliexpress.com/item/JCD-DC-to-YOGA-Connector-DC-4-0-1-7-mm-4-8-1-7-mm/32950132174.html This combo is enough for a Macbook Pro 87W, high power phone 30W and an 5V 2.5A USB device -- 129W.

I think this 90W https://www.amazon.ca/Outtag-Universal-Charger-Automatic-Detachable/dp/B01N7SR7MI adapter is a pretty good companion to it, thin and lightweight and has a USB A itself. The only problem here I can is it's very easy to overdraw, say a 65W laptop, a 30W phone, bam.

Or if you want to go nuts then https://www.razer.com/gaming-accessories/razer-180w-power-adapter is 5.5mm x 2.5mm AFAIK and 180W at 420gr.

Deciding between CableCreations hub for the braided cable, and Cable Matters hub for the plastic body.

All of those chargers seem decent. I like the price of the RAV charger. I've only had a need for international plugs once in my life, but it's not impossible. The space savings on the RAV might do it though. I would definitely choose the Innergie for the form factor and the power if it weren't double the price, but now it's a toss up.

Also just saw this Dart-style charger on Amazon.com, $27 USD for chinese 60W 3.07" x 1.53" x 1.1" charger, vs. Innergie $110 USD 60W 2.36" x 1.18” x 1.18". Both ship to Canada, but hilariously cost $224CAD and $91CAD on amazon.ca.

macbook or macbook pro? Thunderbolt 3 or just USBC?

it should work even on a 2016 macbook (non-pro) but depends on dock and cables

must have HDMI 2.0 Display

must have certified USBC to HDMI 2.0 cable

this is why displayport is better, any DP inputs on that monitor?

this explains it

and also from apple

why not go direct from HDMI on dock? is this ur dock?

It might not provide the same speeds but somewhere near and last but not the least, will get the job done!
Check the link below for OTG enabled ones, you can also find them on your local amazon.

I mean connector used in this case:

Every time I try to identify it I end with "mini", it's definitely not standard micro like in most phones, Kindle, etc.

Kind of like this? But for usb-c i'm guessing.

My suggestion is to have two docking stations and then use a usb switch (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BD8I2OY) for your mouse and keyboard.

To be even fancier, you can use Synergy by Symless to share your mouse and keyboard over the network. You could also get this sweet audio mixer to get audio from both computer into a single headset or speakers: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M68UK38

This is basically what I do for my work and home computer.

Can't you just buy an older one, which is sold as new on Amazon?

I use this one: AmazonBasics USB Type-C to Micro-B 2.0 Cable - 6 Inches (15.2 Centimeters) - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LONQ7R6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_LV3vCbMCVECVH

Can someone explain to me, ELI5 why a simple USB C to HDMI Adapter wouldnt work?

I have this and I like it! The loop may not work well for your needs though:

Quick look at your user profile shows 3 posts, no comments, all about this "product" you "just found" somewhere on the internets that purports to "do" what you want. Your post in /r/oneplus was already removed for spam.

The iOS version of the Klearlook headphone jack adapter is /r/CatastrophicFailure material. Meanwhile, the one you're advertising is full of astroturfed/sponsored reviews, with the only credible user reviews being in line with what I expect to see from yet another Chinese Alibaba rebrand. And Klearlook itself is just another generic Western-friendly Alibaba "brand" that peddles pretty much the same cheap bullshit as everyone else.

Fuck you and your spam/self-promotion.
