一位谷歌工程师^{(Google engineer)}表示，亚马逊^(Amazon)销售的几条 USB-C 数据线不符合标准规格。Benson Leung于^{(Benson Leung)}10^(October)月底开始在亚马逊^(Amazon)上发布关于电缆故障以致损坏与其相连的设备的评论。

Benson Leung & USB-C

在参与了包括USB-C 连接^{(USB-C connectivity)}在内的多个项目之后，Benson开始喜欢这项技术及其功能。USB -C 可以承载更多电量，可以为笔记本电脑充电，而不仅仅是智能手机。高速数据传输允许消除其他端口，如HDMI。最后但并非最不重要的一点是，该标准允许可逆插件消除了撞击旧USB型号右侧的令人沮丧的体验。

新电缆，有缺陷的电缆

当您使用低于标准的电缆连接 USB-C 连接器时，其强大的新功能将化为乌有。于是，Benson^{(So Benson)}亲自测试了市场上发现的电缆，发现有些电缆无法正常工作，甚至危及与它们相连的设备。为了让他的服务能够被公众使用，他将他的结果作为评论发布在亚马逊上^{(he posted his results as reviews on Amazon)}。

结果描绘了一幅惨淡的画面。在撰写本文时发布的 18 条评论中，只有 4 款产品获得了完整的 5 星评论。其他 14 只获得了 2 颗星，因为他们未能提供任何相当于体面的表现。最常见的问题之一是无法为设备充电。我最大的挫败感之一是由于充电器或电缆故障^{(faulty charger or cable)}而无法为即将耗尽的智能手机电池^{(smartphone battery)}充电。因此，我可以想象从全新电缆中获得这种体验的痛苦。

您在哪里找到USB-C 连接器^{(USB-C connector)}？

USB-C是由几家公司在 2012 年首次公开记录的项目中合作创建的。然而，苹果公司^{(Nevertheless Apple)}是在市场上果断推出该标准的公司，今年推出了一款只有一个连接器的Macbook——一个USB-C。几个月后，USB-C产品在市场上如雨后春笋般涌现，标志着新技术采用率最快的之一。

尽管关于与Thunderbolt^{(Thunderbolt)}的兼容性以及Apple对标准的持有仍有一些争论（众所周知，其他制造商会避免采用Apple标准），但USB-C将继续存在。当我们购买USB-C 数据线^{(USB-C cable)}时，我们希望受益于Benson Leung的改进产品。购买USB-C 数据线^{(USB-C cable)}时，值得查看评论，因为标签可能会误导您在包装中获得的内容。

Google engineer takes on faulty USB-C cables on Amazon

A Google enginеer showed that several USB-C cables on sale at Amazon fаiled to meet the standard specifications. Benson Leung started to post reviews on Amаzon at the end of October, on cables that malfυnсtioned to the point of damaging the devices connected to them.

Benson Leung & USB-C

After working on several projects that included USB-C connectivity, Benson became fond of the technology and its capabilities. USB-C can carry more power to the point of being able to charge a laptop, not just a smartphone. The high speed of data transfers allows the elimination of other ports like HDMI. Last but not least, the standard allows for reversible plug-in eliminating the frustrating experience of hitting the right side of the older USB models.

New cables, defective cables

The great new capabilities of USB-C connectors are all for naught when you connect them with subpar cables. So Benson applied himself to test the cables found on the market and discovered that some failed to work and even endangered the devices connected to them. In order for his service to be of public use, he posted his results as reviews on Amazon.

The results painted a bleak picture. Out of 18 reviews posted at the time this article was written, only 4 products got full 5 stars reviews. The other 14 got only 2 stars because they failed to deliver anything that amounts to decent performance. One of the most common problems was the inability to charge devices. One of my biggest frustrations is to be unable to charge my dying smartphone battery because of a faulty charger or cable. I can therefore imagine the pain of getting such an experience from a brand new cable.

Where do you find the USB-C connector?

USB-C has been created through the collaboration of several companies in a project that was first recorded publicly in 2012. Nevertheless Apple is the company that launched the standard decisively on the market, launching this year a Macbook that had only one connector on it - a USB-C. Several months later, USB-C products mushroomed in the market, marking one of the fastest adoption rates for new technologies.

Although there is still some debate on the compatibility with Thunderbolt and with Apple's hold of the standard (other manufacturers are known to avoid adopting Apple standards), USB-C is here to stay. When we get to buy a USB-C cable, we hope to benefit from improved products due to Benson Leung's work. When purchasing USB-C cables, it is worthwhile to check out the reviews though as the label may be misleading about what you get in the package.
