[QUOTE="chrisc, post: 760391, member: 746"] Snide comments aside. You would expect a R180 cable to be better constructed than a R8 cable. I have had cheapo USB cables, provided with a printer that cause the PC to get timing errors in the USB bus, since the crimped connector on the plug was so poorly implemented. One I checked had a 200 ohm resistance on one of the conductors, indicating that the connection between cable and plug was corroded. I took apart a Lindy Cromo USB cable which had become damaged by its getting sucked into an industrial carpet cleaner cleaner and the connections consisted of a folded over section 8mm long, with the metal gripping the conductor along the length. Each conductor was individually insulated at this point. Then there was a strain relief section 20mm long at the end, so no amount of twisting would compromise the connection [/QUOTE]
