#tech #usb #cabling #random #thoughts In the mists of time cables were frequently shielded twisted single fibre copper wire until they were soldered into a jack plug or USB connector. Used in a variety of situations from charging to unit to unit connectivity. Now it seems totally random twisted copper and very iffy at either USB end. I know it's material and labour intensive but I'd pay the difference, Over the course of the last year I've 'burnt through' at least 12 such cables. #justsaying
