I simply handle them with care. None of my cables broke in that part. Two failed at the pins. -- Cheers, Carlos. |

I have used that product to reinforce/repair the inbuilt USB cable on the auto power adapter from my old Magellan GPS and, while it was a pretty ugly mess, it did the job quite well and also allowed me to make the cord into a 90-degree rather than straight feed so it kept the cord away from the shift lever. |

The cables you showed don't have such a flexible part. They're probably cheap crap. FWIW, the only cheap-crap [1] cable I (know I) have, indeed does not have flexible strain relief. Duh! [1] Yes, I have a valid excuse for this one! :-) |

It wont be seen anyhow. or is the problem electrical? is there some metal short that drains the battery? m |
