Bad cable, tests and measures in support

Very very disappointed with this article not at the other AmazonBasics products. When unpacking the apparent quality of the cable is high level, but tests show that it is a bad cable. Let me explain.

There are a few times, I did load testing using a power meter, crossing different chargers, cables, smartphones and tablets. My assumption was that for the same charger, the more we consume, the more quickly load. If we can compare priori USB chargers That way, you should be wary because they do not necessarily have the same performance. Anyway, I could see that the three elements impact the loading speed:

- The charger used, particularly the power it is capable of delivering. In this connection also be wary of what is written on them because I could see that they often do not deliver as much power as what is advertised.
- The USB cable used. There are several qualities, and with a good charger and a smartphone or tablet modern, the cable can be limiting.
- The element that charging. Even with a good charger and cable, no faster reload an old smartphone that was designed to be reloaded on USB chargers first generation.

To test the AmazonBasics cable, I redid the tests power meter using a good USB charger and GN3, and comparing the results with other USB cables. Result, this cable works, of course, but compared to others in my possession, it is just average, which is very disappointing given the price and perceived quality. To give an idea, I have no name other cables that seem about 35% more efficient.

I get the same results for both AmazonBasics cables ordered. Ultimately this explains the negative opinions that seem to come from people having a bit greedy hardware. I do not know if shorter cables have the same concerns, but I do not recommend at all that of 1m80.
