PSA and remainder: Do not buy cheap USB C cables from Ali Express or similar places (Story inside)

Posted: 05 Jul 2020 06:01 AM PDT

Like the title says, please avoid buying cheap fast charge USB C cables. Unlike regular USB cables, Those cables use much higher voltage and can seriously damage your devices!

I have bought two lightning to USB C cables for about 2$ each. The cables look and feel really good and similar to what Apple would have deliver. The cables worked well for a couple of months until today. Connected my Apple pencil (gen 1) to my mac using a lightning to USB C cable and immediately the cable's controller started to smoke and almost got itself on fire. The aftermath looks like this. I can still feel the burnt smell in the room!

Luckily, the Macbook disabled all usb ports to prevent any damage to the Mac (You can see the error in the image above). The pencil was also not damaged. Needless to say, that all other cheap USB C cables went to the trash together with the damaged one.

So lesson learned. Don't mess with cheap fast charge USB C PD cables. Buy only certified cables.
