Hardware Tested USB cables/adapters

[cracker]

I thought we should start a list so everyone can know what cables are properly suited for the Switch. Please only add to the list if you have tested the resistance yourself or if your Switch and/or PC,phone, etc. was damaged. The resistance should be at least 56Kohm to be considered safe according to Google employee Benson Yeung (who nuked some hardware before he considered testing cables).

Xtreme Power USB A to C adapter
Model XCB2-1013-PP1


Tested @ 60.8Kohm

Can someone test the cable that you get with 8bitdo gamepads. Would that work?

Cable in this package is tested.

i bought the one in this link and i can confirm this cable works great with both high safety & quality

Used my USB C Cabel from my S8. So I guess I can say that will work.

If someone could test an 8bitdo one Id really appreciate it as I dont have Android

This app apparently cannot be found in the UK play store, do you have a apk anywhere?

errrr dunno use proxy service to Geo locate or try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gombosdev.ampere - google on how to trell with this one Checkr had some issues with usb to usbc tests but A to c is good.

I managed to find a link on Google from a few years back but apparently its not compatible with the pixel so oh well

I don't know if this means ok for switch or not

Can we also put links to where you found them also??

Worked with an OnePlus 5 cable that comes with the phone

All current USB C cables work.
Just dont buy them for 1€/$/* a meter... you cheap sticks

And what exactly do you think a "premium usb" cable costs like ? ^^

 

[DaveLister]

Rav power cables also all good - for 15k ohm resistor .

thats an ok according tot he diag instructions http://ampereapp.blogspot.ie/2015/11/how-to-test-usb-c-cables-with-ampere.html ITs more to do with the shoddy usbc standards that cable "Guys" or vendors didnt all agree upon - basically cheap cables = no profit!.

Which part states this?

 

[DaveLister]

Which part states this?

WOW .....
this part
According to the latest USB-C discussions, this value should be never 3000mA if you are connected to a PC. If it is less than 3000mA then you are good to go.

would you like me to adjust your seat ? , massage your head ?

IE if it draws more the 56k resistor is not inline .

Which part of it is more than 3000. I also saw that part but the only thing that exceeds 3000 is my phones battery capacity.
The charge current was 1590ma, so which part exceeded 3000ma

I used this and it worked fine.

the max batt cap is indicated by battery symbol which is not the droids you are looking for .
Look at the pic its really very self explanatory .
