- Sakos 3y agoWow, that's really interesting. I'd love to see comparisons between Apple and more well-known third party manufacturers like Anker, CSL or UGREEN.
- izacus 3y agoThey'd be the same because they've been scanning cables with eMarkers vs. cables without.
- crote 3y agoNot eMarkers but retimers / redrivers. Basically, once you go beyond a certain length you need the cable to "boost" the signal. The tested cable is longer than that, so it needs active electronics.
- adra 3y agoI just watched a puff piece on Adam tested comparing apple thunderbolt $150 cables to introductory $5-10 usb cables. They seemed more in love with the tech to visualize the cables than actuallu giving meaningful information and like for like comparisons.
