Verbatim Tough Max cables utilize DuPont Kevlar Aramid fiber to encase the pure copper core, providing exceptional strength. This is further reinforced by a double-layered nylon braided outer sheath, ensuring durability and resilience.
The copper core, constructed with 21AWG (American Wire Gauge), optimizes performance, enabling quicker charging and ensuring more stable data transmission.
Extended Power Range (EPR) is part of USB Power Delivery (PD) 3.1 specifications that allow USB-C cables to deliver up to 240W of power. The previous USB PD 3.0 specification provides up to 100W.
However, I got mine from Singtel Online Shop where the retail price is S$45. But I have a S$15 voucher as I bought my iPhone 15 Pro Max from them. So, I ended up paying S$30.
The Ugreen USB-A to USB-C Adapter retails on Lazada for S$7.49. It is a USB-A 3.0 male to USB-C 3.1 female adapter that supports QC3 charging (3A) and a maximum transfer rate of 5Gbps.
I bought it to convert a USB-C to USB-C cable to a USB-A to USB-C Cable.
Apple Lightning to 3.5mm Audio Cable has only one length which is 1.2m and is available in two colors, Black and White. It retails for S$49. For some reason, Amazon.sg is selling the black one for only S$40. So I decided to get that.
But you can get it at S$37 at Apple Authorised Resellers on Lazada, Shopee, and Amazon.sg. That is what I tried to do, except that it is out of stock on all the above mention platforms.
I have various HDMI cables from multiple gadgets, and I don’t even know what HDMI version they support. So I decided to standardize and future-proof all my HDMI cables at home to make them more uniform.
I opted for HDMI 2.1 because it supports all the latest standards, 8K@60 resolution, 48 Gbps bandwidth, HDR 10+, Dolby Vision, Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC), etc.
After my company changed my MacBook Pro to the new 16″ M1 Pro MacBook Pro, I can no longer use my Razer Core X Chroma since Apple M1 chips don’t support eGPU. Besides using my Razer Core X Chroma as my eGPU, I also use it as a 4-port USB-A Hub.
So I needed a 4-port USB-C to USB-A Hub. My usual first place to search is Ugreen shop on Lazada. I use their cables, chargers, and USB-C hubs, and their peripherals haven’t disappointed me yet.
My guess is the one without an Ethernet port should be cheaper, but sadly I can’t find it on Amazon.sg. I only found the one with an Ethernet port on Amazon.sg retailing for S$139. After a 5% discount voucher, I got it for S$132.05.
