From the article:
"The consequences for a consumer buying a shady USB cable likely aren’t too bad". I can't second that, but more to the software/driver side. Without my knowledge, I once had a counterfeit cable that costed several days of my life.
At that time, the FTDI drivers recognized (and as I read did some other things [1]) that a counterfeit cable was connected, but instead of simply disabling the function, they impeded it.
In my case: After pressing the first few keys on terminal connection, the transmission from the device to the PC worked, but not the reverse direction.
A long search for the error came to an end after I replaced the USB/RS232 with a new one.
This was with windows, with Linux even the counterfeit worked. [1] https://www.elektroda.com/qa,ftdi-ft232-scandal-driver-brick... |
