What are you doing to your wires?
Aside from Apple brand cables, which lack strain relief, I don’t think I’ve ever killed a single USB or Ethernet cable. If it weren’t for the transition from USB 2 to 3, I’d probably keep the same cables for my entire life at this rate.
- Tade0 6y agoI ask myself the same question every day. Anyway the USB-C I got with my phone lasted two years, but I've used it everywhere, my 1/4s broke because I've made the mistake of buying "by Klotz" cables, RJ-45 are mostly Chinese crap so no surprise here.
- ashtonkem 6y agoMaybe you’re pulling by the cable and not the connector? Some of the USB C connectors have very small connectors, making this an easy problem. The more I think about it, I’d probably destroy lighting cables regularly if it weren’t for the fact that I only use wireless charging. You have to unplug that cable a lot, which is pretty hard on the cable and connector.
