  • bought a few cables…

  • Paid $3.15 AUD for 2 Type C cables and 2 Adapters. (After using the 50pts in the account).

    Not bad.

    I know I've asked this before, but I'm actually hoping for an answer this time.

    Madgiga's products do not appear anywhere on USB-IF's certification list, nor is Madgiga a listed member of USB-IF.

    I ordered one of the USB-C Adaptors out of mild interest from this deal too, and no where on the product does it say anything about having a USB-IF Certification.

    What exactly makes these USB-IF Certified?

      That is what I am wondering before I jumped in. Don't want to skimp on cables only to fry my phone.

    • I don't have the answer to your question but for that price, does it matter if they're on the certification list or not.

      • It depends. Is this a cheap price for a cable/adapter? Definitely. Is it good value for money? Unclear.

        I'd rather spend $15 on a branded adapter or cable if I was going that way to protect my device, knowing it will last a few years and comes with a warranty.

        Who knows if this has the right pull up resistor in it, if it's been wired correctly, etc, so is saving a hypothetical $13 worth the risk of something damaging or destroying a phone worth more? If someone could prove this was as good as USB-IF certified, or was in fact certified, I'd be confident.

        Really, I'm overly cautious when it comes to cheap electronics as I've seen enough damage due to dodgy wiring to fork out a little more for peace of mind.

    • Fantastic work.

      I took an extra step and searched by the actual company name. No results for Haiweili Co.,Ltd, Shenzhen Haiweili E-Commerce Co., Ltd. or even Haiwe*

      • Cheers, that was on my to-do list when I got home.

    The supplier confirmed it is certified. Maybe it used the manufacturer's name to be certified, not the brand name.

    • Maybe?

      I don't think that's how the Apple certification works. Madgiga is not on the list, what assurances does a purchaser have that these cables won't stop working on the next Apple update (when more and more cables seem to stop working due to 'security updates' from Apple).

      I'd be interested in purchasing, but I have serious doubts as to the certification. Sorry, neg.

      • Apple charged $4 per Lightning connector. All MFI products must use genuine Apple Lightning connectors. A rule of thumb is if they cost less than $4 (USD, presumably) then they are fake or being sold below cost. The latter of which is very likely unless it's liquidation stock.

      • Do you know most IT products are OEM? Of course not under the brand name. I did not say Apple certification .

  • Any compatible cable for Samsung S5?
