My household has ongoing issues with USB cables, particularly the micro ones, and it is usually power rather than signal - the specs for wire size seem to be honoured in the breech, and USB3 micro seems to elevate the problem with its dinky little contacts and less than positive mechanical locking. MSY have 1m cables with decent wire for about $6 - get a couple of those and see how you go. _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
