Common Failure Modes
Physical wear at the connector joints is the universal failure point. Dirt buildup inside the connector or bent pins also ruin cables.
Look for braided cables with reinforced strain relief. Ensure the cable supports the wattage of your device, especially for laptops.
Cables last 1-3 years. Fraying at the strain relief is the most common failure.
