Scosche StrikeLine USB-A to Lightning Cable - dead after one charge

1 Upvotes

Just posting here for some search indexing, since who cares about quality of lightning cables in 2026.

Bought a Scosche cable last year, since the connector design looked robust. Worked fine in my 30W charger for one charge, and now just dead. Cleaning contacts, using another power source, another phone - no response.

First time I've had such an experience with an MFi cable

RCA stereo with video?

Post image
0 Upvotes

I got this dvd player and I want to connect it to my TV. But all the cables I find mention it's for audio. I need to somehow convert it either to scart, aux, or hdmi while keeping video and audio. Can any of you help me out before I spend 40 bucks on something that might not even work? My tv also has a composite connection but I use that one for my ps2 already, so preferably I'd be able to convert it to one of the other 3.

Power cable is what I’m looking for. Someone with the same issue posted over a year ago to this sub. Since then I cannot find a listing for the 10 pin adapter used to connect it. Model is a Sharp LC-13E2U corresponding part # is UADP-A009WJPZ. Have had no luck tracking any down online and have been laughed at like 4 times on the phone. Anyone have any advice or a next step?

Outdoor equipment that gets disconnected often: what do you check beyond the IP rating?

1 Upvotes

We’re CNLINKO, an industrial connector manufacturer.

For equipment that is regularly disconnected for maintenance, we’d check three things together:

• Sealing conditions: Does the IP rating apply when connected, when disconnected, or with a protective cap fitted? Also check the specified cable diameter and assembly requirements.

• Mating cycles: Does the exact connector model support the expected number of connections and disconnections? A quick-release mechanism and a durability rating answer different questions.

• Access: Can the operator reach the release mechanism and route the cable without excessive bending or strain?

As one example, our LP20 three-pin power connector is listed with a snap-lock connection, IP68/IPX9K protection and at least 2,000 mating cycles. Suitability still depends on the selected part, installation space, cable and operating conditions.

For your equipment, which causes more maintenance trouble: slow disconnection, worn connectors, or protecting the exposed connection after unplugging?

It's smaller than a USB-C, I've already bought a wrong cable once, and can't find the name for this anywhere. I'd really love some help. Thanks in advance!

Equipment needed when using Cat6 cable from TV to WiiM Amp (complete newbie)

1 Upvotes

We recently renovated our patio and took the opportunity to have it wired so that we could have two outdoor speakers and the tv connected to a WiiM Amp. The tv to amp connection was supposed to be via an HDMI cable but I discovered that they used Cat6 instead for some reason.

As I understand it from the research I’ve done, I’d need an HDMI extender (both sender and receiver). My understanding of the connection process is:

TV > HDMI extender (sender) via HDMI cable > sender to receiver via Cat6 > receiver to WiiM Amp via HDMI cable.

Is that accurate and, if so, would this be sufficient for the HDMI extender?
