Amazon Bans venta de cables USB-C Potencialmente Peligrosos

Amazon ha endurecido las restricciones a la venta de cables USB-C y los adaptadores en su tienda en línea en un esfuerzo por proteger a los clientes productos de calidad inferior de riesgo (vía The Verge).

El minorista en línea añadió cables USB-C no conformes a su lista de artículos prohibidos, a raíz de una inundación de cables potencialmente perjudiciales de terceros en el mercado. La nueva nota en la página de Amazon de indeseables prohíbe "cualquier USB-C ™ (o USB Tipo-C ™) de cable o adaptador que el producto no es compatible con las especificaciones estándar emitidos por" USB Implementers Forum Inc. ""

La actualización fue descubierto por el ingeniero de Google Benson Leung, que ha estado probando cables USB-C vendidos por Amazon en un esfuerzo para poner de relieve los riesgos de los productos no conformes. Leung fue impulsado a la acción después de un cable de carga USB-C se compró destruyó un Chromebook Pixel el que estaba trabajando en las pruebas de compatibilidad.

Apple introduced the USB-C standard to its Mac range with the release of the 12-inch Retina MacBook. The new standard allows charging, data transfer, and video over a single connector. As a result, USB-C cables are capable of carrying a lot more power than traditional USB connectors, making faulty units a risk to computers and power supplies, and potentially a fire hazard.

Apple states in a support document that the 12-inch MacBook will charge from USB-C power adapters not manufactured by Apple if they adhere to the USB Power Delivery specification. Based on Leung's extensive testing, 30 percent of third-party USB-C cables currently available do not meet USB-IF standards. Apple's USB-C ports are designed to shut down if a larger-than-expected amount of power is detected flowing through cables, however Amazon's ban should mean cables that can damage or shut down a device will no longer be offered through the site.

Apple suffered its own USB-C problems when a "design issue" in charging cables shipped with certain Retina MacBooks failed to supply sufficient charge when connected to a power adapter. Apple is providing new, redesigned USB-C charge cables to MacBook owners with faulty cables at no cost.
