You’ve been fortunate (or far more clued in to usb standards than just about everyone) if you don’t already have multiple usb c cables with different capabilities.
It’s possible for noncompliant usb c cable to fry electronics.
I don’t know of any other connector standard where the connector doesn’t clearly indicate or imply the cable’s capabilities. I’m sure they exist, but generally for consumer electronics if a cable fits, it works. Except for usb c.
- lxgr 3y agoUSB-C problems surely exist, but I have never heard of single-side only plugs, and video-only cables simply don’t exist, yet these are GPs specific concerns.
- crote 3y agoSingle-side-only plugs are an issue with USB-C extension cables - which aren't allowed by the spec and shouldn't exist for a wide variety of reasons.
