  Hi rep glad your back! I'm enjoying the 3m cable I got and think the quality's great (so far only time will tell). But other people in past thread seems to have quality issues with the 1m and 2m cables and in the other recent sale you stated (14 hours ago) "Good news. The 1m and 2m cables are back. (improved connector quality)" So does this mean all the connector issues of the previous set/stock have been sorted out?

  Hope to hear from you on this matter! and if it's all sorted out place some more orders too!

  Edit oh and on the previous commenters asked "Do the ones we ordered before have the improved connector?" So do the cables we've ordered previously have the same connectors as this new lot or a new better one?

    So do the cables we've ordered previously have the same connectors as this new lot or a new better one?

    I'd 95% say that they are the old ones else they wouldn't have stated 'old stock old price', but you never know about that 5%. If there aren't enough old stock to fulfill then new stock will have to be sent. You may be the lucky one…

    • 

      Scaregdearimasu on 17/12/2013 - 10:01

      ah yeah didn't even see the old stock old price signage there.
      did notice the tiny price bump for the 1m ones.

      So rep the 1m ones have a better quality connector now?

      • 

        Store Repwhowantthegoodies @ BulkSales on 17/12/2013 - 10:21

        The 1m one is now 24AWG instead of 26AWG. The copper has also upgraded to a better one. This means this cable will bring you the same result as the real genuine branded ones which sell for $10+ out there. Same result means same speed, same durability.

    The old cables are generally fine but only 1 in 100 complained about the connector issue. The connectors are usually sticking to the cable very well. When it doesn't, contact us we will give you a replacement. 100% safe buying from us.

    Improved connector means that the cable and connector are sticking so well that you will need to be very strong to put them off on purpose. Again, if any problem, contact us we will give you a free of charge solution.

  Bargain Fighter on 17/12/2013 - 12:24

  Hi rep,

  I bought one 2m and 3m in your previous deal.

  I'm using Note2 and use the app called Galaxy Charging Current to measure the mA the cable can deliver.

  For the 2m one, the power keeps delivering stably at 1100mA. About the 3m one, it's only 900mA.

  I'm using Samsung genuine wall adapter. Any wrong with this why the power cannot reach its maximum of 2A with your cable?

  (I tested with Samsung genuine USB cable
  It can deliver 1700mA)

  • 

    grab_ur_freebies on 17/12/2013 - 12:50

    Longer the cable, greater the electrical current loss = slower charging.

    The genuine ones are generally 1m or 1.5m, so 1700mAh seems normal.

    • 

      Bargain Fighter on 17/12/2013 - 13:11

      Thanks. I understood this matter. However, as Some people did calculation and pointed out in the previous deals that 2m cable would probably not get affected and the loss of current is minor. The cable should be able to deliver approx 2A.

      I'm not really sure about their conclusion. :)

        Do you mean from this thread?
        https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/119662#comment-1639027

        @1.3A:

        2M 26AWG = 4.3V which is under spec

        Did someone else say a 2m 26AWG cable can deliver 2A at 5V?

        I'm not really sure about their conclusion. :)

        The conclusion was:

        If you want a rapid 1.3A charge at 2m, you need at least a 24AWG cable. I'd go for 22AWG to be safe, taking into account connector resistance.

        (so for 3m, 24AWG definitely isn't enough)

        https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/122535#comment-1683454

        TL;DR:
        For 26 AWG cable:
        1m @ 1.3A = Meets 10% (0.5V) Vdrop USB limit.
        1m @ 2A = Meets 10% (0.5V) Vdrop USB limit.

        2m @ 1.3A = Meets 10% (0.5V) Vdrop USB limit.
        2m @ 2A = Does not meet 10% (0.5V) Vdrop USB limit.

        3m @ 1.3A = Does not meet 10% (0.5V) Vdrop USB limit.
        3m @ 2A = Does not meet 10% (0.5V) Vdrop USB limit.

        use the app called Galaxy Charging Current to measure the mA the cable can deliver.

        admittedly i didnt look where this app gets its stats from but it might only be showing the amps going into the battery which would be much lower than whats actually getting to the device. my note takes up most of 1A just to run when the screen is on making the battery charge extremely slowly

      • 

        eug on 17/12/2013 - 17:23

        I'll just leave this here:

        You only calculated the resistance for one of the two power wires - you also have to include the resistance of the return wire. i.e. a 1m cable has 2m of power wire.

        That means the voltage drop is double of what you calculated for all lengths.

    I received mine today as well and have ordered some 1M 26awg ones before. Haven't tried the new ones yet but they look noticeably thinner than the 26awg and have no info printed on the cable so can't even look at the specs. I was under the impression that 24awg would be a thicker cable compared to the 26awg.

  VERY DISAPPOINTED! My order arrived today for some 1M USB cables, they are SO thin compared to other ones I have ordered form this seller. I will NOT be buying from this seller again. They may well be the new ones (part No. 800-0118) but at least by looks they seem inferior to the previous 1M ones from the same seller. They are NOT worth what I paid for them. I really doubt if they are AWG 24 or 26 (as stated 24 above but 26 on ebay) either way they are very thin, no better then the cheapest on eBay/Meritline.

  • 

    Store Repwhowantthegoodies @ BulkSales on 21/12/2013 - 00:12

    They are made to be thinner but they are more duarable than the old one. The copper is better and it has 24 awg for real. Try break the cable apart If you doubt the quality. Charge your device using the cable you should be able to test the speed different. Let us know if you have any problem with it.

        Well, it's that time of year again…

        If you or somebody you know would be interested in working as a Christmas Casual for Australia Post for this coming Christmas, now is the time to apply online. It's generally popular with young people, though we often get a few older ones too.

        Some inside knowledge you need to know first:
        - It's a fairly easy, unskilled job, generally in comfortable, clean, air-conditioned surroundings. You will be assisting the regular employees in movement of mail around facilities, et cetera.
        - The money isn't brilliant, but see last point.
        - The jobs are generally in capital city metro areas.
        - If you want to have a chance of success, you'll need to be able to work any shift, and indicate this when you apply.
        - The majority of shifts are evening or night, and getting home via public transport might be an issue.
        - The length of employment varies, but is generally a month or two.
        - To avoid disappointment, please don't think of this as a stepping stone to permanent employment. However, if you are accepted and work well, you will be considered favourably for following years.
        - Good luck!
