Portable X-ray to shop?


Oh it's terrible.

I looked at a flimsy 2m USB-C to USB-C cable in the supermarket this morning. Compatible with Apple and Android. On rear the only thing specified was "rated 100W".

Cables are ONLY rated by current, and if for data, the number pairs/revision and maybe speed (Ghz etc). Never by power.
