I bet that at some point in your life, you’ve grabbed a USB-C cable to charge your device, or transfer some files – just to find that it doesn’t work! In this video I find the answer as to why two identical looking cables, won’t always do the same thing.

    DO NOT use extenders for high-power loads or together with dodgy cables! They can be a fire hazard🔥If you use an extender, the cable you’re plugging into it doesn’t get to communicate its specs to the other end, which means it might end up with too much current going through it, which will make the cable too hot, which can start fires. This is the reason they’re not allowed. Only EVER use them with cables you know can handle the load!
