This is what your $1 phone cable from china looks like
Here's one with flash.
>1$
Were you expecting something else?
You people actually trust these to not start a fire in your home?

>thinner wire gauge
>less solder
>less materials on the heads
Not this.
Where can I buy one?

That's why you make your own cables.

Looks like it's worth a dollar to me. Money well spent OP.
I bought a Chinese $2 micro-usb and it literally fell apart. the enclosure around the plug just came apart and the parts inside could just "unplug" apart. It's so goddamn wishy washy that I don't even want to use it anymore. I'm going to have to glue it together and then even then I'd only be comfortable using it purely for recharging my phone with a wall-wart. I'm afraid I'll get corrupted data if I try to use it to send/receive files.

Looks solid. Seeing how you bought one with Lightning, you seem to be a macfag who has never looked at electronics in his life.
LOOK GOYM
THIS IS HOW
THEY GET
MONEY
WITH THE
"HAO MAI" (*) PHILOSOPHY
(*) "CHEAP COST"
NOW WHAT
IS THE POINT
HERE ???
??
?
why would you trust a $1 cable
>>53199404
I think it looked better until you chopped part of it off.
>bought a 1 USD cable
>which means the production costs revolves somewhere betweeen 0.01-0.10USD
>baaaaaaaaaaaaaaw why isn't it something with the quality of 5 USD cable and the manufacturing cost of 0.30USD?
>>53199641
Actually I'm at work. I sell these, im using an lg g3.
>>53199593
It could short a wallwart.
$1 cable + $2 wallwart is a recipe for disaster.
>>53199593
Also this.
I built my own 20awg micro usb cable using wires from a dead psu.
>>53199630
No.
>>53199635
As long as the wires didn't disconnect you should be fine.
>>53199699
I never knew it was this bad.
>>53199753
Wish the same could be said for you.
>>53199767
Like I said above. I expected thinner wire gauges and other cost cutting.
Not housefire cheap wiring.

>lightning cable
I thought they looked more like this.

Enjoy your $19.99 cable that came from the same factory using exactly the same materials.

This just makes me fucking paranoid.

As long as the stripping and soldering is better.
>>53200266
This.
Maybe they're a dollar because they fail to meet standards safety and quality standards.
How hard would it be to build an automated machine that cuts a long cord, then solders wires for the USB? I'm not talking about huge machines, but rather something like a printer sized robot.
>>53200466
The problem would probably be consistently getting the right wires onto the right pads.
Unless you could do that with the individual wires and then sheath them.
>>53199593
>fire
>voltage
heat is current dependant not voltage
unless you are charging your phone in an explosive atmosphere and your worried about sparks
>>53200542
A short circuit would generate a large amount of current. The wall wart could explode.
It could catch fire, it could explode, it could melt, it could just silently burn out and not damage anything else in the process.

>phone chargers cant start a fire
I opened one of these LED signs before when it stopped working right................ inside each LED was hand soldered with loose wires all running to a piece of cut off protoboard with a micro controller on it, it was like a birds nest.
Cheap chinese shit, never again.
>>53202199
They could, but they likely won't, your computer "could start a fire" but you're not worried about that. There's usually short protection on both devices, the live and ground wires are on opposite sides of the plug and
>$1000 dollar phone
>$1 charging cable
I'm not saying I'd want to use a cable like OPs but I certainly wouldn't get the fire extinguisher ready
>>53199940
Also, just make your own, same price as the Chinese ones, won't break like $20 cables I've bought
>>53199404
now show me your $50 dollar iCable
>>53203265
I am very berry curious to see this
My Amazon Basics cables seem to all be good quality
