I guess he learned that step 1 should be using the ohmmeter and step 2 should be plugging it into hundreds of dollars of equipment.

- qb45 11y agoDo you really test each USB cable you buy like that?
- wmf 11y agoWe're talking about a guy whose job is to test USB cables.
- fernandotakai 11y agofrom what i remember, it was not his job -- he worked on products that have usb-c components (like the pixel laptops) and wanted to make sure the products on amazon were up to spec. you can see his reasoning here: https://plus.google.com/+BensonLeung/posts/LH4PPgVrKVN https://plus.google.com/+BensonLeung/posts/LH4PPgVrKVN
- scld 11y agoDefinitely not, I would buy cables that had already been reviewed by a very thorough user like him! But this guy has made it a hobby to buy different USB 3 cables and try them out. If I was doing that, I would have made a continuity check test rig to measure point to point and also measure the pullups that he usually ends up measuring by hand.
