Sadly those cables are never extremely strong, as long as they have all the other characteristics in common. To make that cable strong, you would have to put something in that makes it either more rigid, thicker or both. The amazon basics cable did most of the "bang for your buck" stuff right. Can't really ask for more.
Company: “let’s just claim that this cable can take loads of force and like pull cars and stuff, I mean no ones actually gonna try that lol” Tyler: “hold my pickle jar”

10:45 the metal mesh removes electromagnetic interference from other cables nearby, or really anything else. they usually connect the metal bodies of the plugs on both ends together (which are usually grounded). The idea is that any EMI that hits the cable will be picked up by the shielding and then grounded out through the plug's ground. The USB standard requires shielded cabling, so you should always find it. some other types of cables, like an ethernet cable, use twisted pairs and don't need shielding
Tyler we all know that plumbers like to tell us about how flushable wipes aren't flushable we all know your love for leaving stuff in liquids how about you leave flushable wipes in water for 30 days. You do a flushable wipe that is unfolded, folded, and crumpled. Plus whatever else you think of. Flushable wipes. Flushable wipes !!!
The reason the Amazon cable snapped clean is that the yellow fibers inside the cable are there to add strength and do not stretch before breaking, when they fail the tension on the cable is sufficient to snap the rest of the cable components.
They say unbreakable, they say 1500 lbs of force, they also say lifetime warranty. But if they send you one to replace the cable that broke, that second one is NOT covered by the warranty LOL
Idk that feels fair to me. I mean no one’s expecting them to replace an infinite number of cables right? I thought that was fairly standard to not get a second lifetime warranty on a product replaced for free. I have even worse news for you though, you’re probably assuming when a manufacturer says lifetime warranty it means the warranty doesn’t expire due to time. But it does, lifetime warranty means the “life” of the product not yourself. So a lifetime warranty could be just 6 months if they define the product’s expected life as 6 months. It’s deceptive as hell, they do it intentionally just say the time period outright if it expires
Did a double-check: Drano’s main active ingredient is lye. Lye breaks down and corrodes metal and organics, but plastics are inert as long as the lye doesn’t get too hot (it’s a pretty reactive substance). The gold-plated bits of cable are fine, but anything with aluminum or stainless steel like maybe the cable head would be a problem; that’s probably where the Drano would attack. The nylon braid (and the plastic wire cover and pretty much anything plastic) would still be intact.
@@boomkruncher325zzshred5 having dealt with a lot of corroded electronics, I can guarantee if the end is left in lye, the copper will wick it up and it'll rot. Depending on the type of insulation (if it isn't PVC, especially) it *may* penetrate the outer or inner layers. Only way to find out is to waste a month soaking wires in lye.
I used to work in wire manufacture for a few years. Amazon basics wire was easily a more quality cable. Not only because of the wire "mesh" (referred to as a braid in the industry) which is used for both interference and strength purposes. Also cloth material you were talking about is aramid Kevlar fibers which are used for strength and flexibility purposes for the cable. Interesting that the titan cable and all its hype was proven to be garbage vs the Amazon basics 🤔
Always remember officer 401, he gave Tyler a shout out 4 years ago and that had a substantial impact on the instant growth of the channel, you are an amazing content creator Tyler, I wish you the best in life!
When pulling the truck, by doubling over the cable you are spreading the load across two lengths of cable. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure that's the case.
The entire load is still being met at one single point on each side of the scale without any bypass. So it doesn’t matter. The only thing that doubling up is doing is increasing the total strength of the cable. It will not offset the total load being pulled, it doesn’t make the truck lighter.

I just kept looking at Tyler's truck expecting it to roll down the driveway while he had his back towards it facing the camera forgetting the truck is in neutral.
I ordered four of these a few months ago. I'm not sure what you received but, they certainly don't feel the same as other cheap ones. The ones I got are much harder/stiffer, and the braiding doesn't take damage from rubbing rough surfaces like a lot of cheap braided cables. There does seem to be a difference in feel between the different types though. I got one USB-C, two micro USB, and one Lightning cable. The three types have a mildly different look and feel to the braided outside. The connectors are also much, much more secure than any other cable I've had. Even more so than a new device with its factory cable. Never had a Titan cable come loose from the cord being pulled or the device being dropped. And the connector doesn't bend like most others when dropped. They've also survived a housecat determined to chew on anything that she thinks she hasn't chewed before. You wouldn't even see where it was chewed, even if you knew exactly where. The only problem I've had is the lights on them. They're so insanely bright that it's like have an emergency glowstick on your side table at night. And they don't turn off when there's nothing connected to them. Then again, I didn't go into the purchase believing that they're quite strong enough for half the claims, just that they'll be much better than the average cable, which they have been in my experience.
*Tylers Neighbours* : "Linda! Come see this..he's at it again! Looks like he's pulling his truck around with a rope this time." "Do you think we should call someone, Frank? I'm worried about him."
The meal foil is for shielding, and sometimes grounding. The yellow fabric on the inside actually is Kevlar. Im surprised its in phone cables, usually its in fiber optic 4 strand and larger, and its used for pulling in a fiber cable for installation underground. Kind of neat its in a phone cable.
the "metal mesh" (metallic braid shield) is there to shield the wire from outside interference (power frequency and radio frequency interference), "raw wire" is called a drain wire, it's for grounding purposes and the "cloth" (fabric) is there to protect the wires from rubbing against the metal shielding.
These extra "Mesh" on the outside of the Amazon cable are for grounding and not considered for strength but it’s funny how poor this unbreakable cable performed
I personally caved a few months ago and bought the Titan charger. It has lasted longer than any charger I’ve ever bought which is probably because the 90 degree angle of the charging head keeps me from putting continuous pressure on the cord itself. As for the faster charging I only attribute that to my charging block not the cord. Not surprised it’s weak as hell but at least it’s gonna last me a while.
I've got a few of these 90 degree cables. I love them. Easier to gold the phone while it's charging and if it falls off the side by accident it doesn't land in a dodgy way that it snaps or bends the port
9:54 im assuming that's to activate O.T.G on a smartphone so it can transfer data if you didn't have that 5th wire it probably wouldn't work im just assuming though..
With how much it stretched. I doubt it would work after pulling anything with it. would be interesting to see in future tests if the Cords still work after the test. (to check that the internal wires have not broken)
Dude. I love your content. After a long day at work. I’ll come home, kick up my feet, crack open a cold one, and put on one of your videos. It’s a highlight of the day.
If u notice at 3:22 the scale stopped counting at 85 but the cord started to stretch more for another 7 seconds that’s why the claim it’s the strongest phone charger cord
I can just about guarantee that the yellow fibrous material is Kevlar or a similar aramid. I used to see it all the time in fiber optic cables. It’s used to prevent the cable from stretching, fiber optics are very susceptible to breaking under very little tension. The copper in these would be less prone to breaking, but I suspect that if a wire stretched, it could develop hot spots at higher wattages some modern devices use.
The amazon cable is what we refer to as shielded cable and the shielding is actually more than I expected. the metal braid is akin to the chinese finger trap, mening if you pull it it tightens, but if you push it towards the other end it loosens off and scrunches up. The foil is another part of the shielding but also to protect the cables from damage. You would use the braided shield as an earth like cable and is the main interference protection. This style of shielding is mostly used were even slight interference can cause the equipment to go nuts.
In the amazon cable, the component are a woven mesh around the outside to protect the components, rubber to protect as well, the wire mesh is likely for interference, as is the foil, and the string in the middle is a nylon strand, they usually use that for easier winding of the wires in manufacturing. The other cables have some of those components but not all, which seems cheap. For context, I'm an electrical engineering student.
I found one called Fuse Chicken Titan cable that looks like it might hold up to the claims better. One of the thumbnails has a chainsaw trying to cut it, haha, but the housing looks to be metal.
The cheapo wires have 4 cables for regular USB. USB c is higher bandwidth and requires 5 cables. As goes for the Amazon cable, the mesh is for cut resistance against rubbing up against surfaces, the foil for interference and the yellow fibre should be kevlar ( it is in the high end cables) for pulling force resistance. Hence why it performed better. *Flies away*
That cloth string on that Amazon cable is Kevlar, they put it inside of a lot of data cable to improve strength of the entire cable for when they have to pull wire. Great video Tyler!!!
yes that is mostly correct, but the "strength" really means that it cant be bent as easily. without the cloth, the copper wires would bend and eventually break, but with it, the cloth would take "soak up" some of the bending damage.
It will add strength but not really. It would break at the ends before breaking in the middle for sure. However, that is NOT the purpose of the string. When the outer insulation is being cooked onto the wires they line up several large spools of wire and a spool of string. they pull them all into a twisting device the preps the cable for insulation process. the string is connected to the new reel that will now carry the combination of all colored wires and the string. The next process they line the new reel into a machine that feeds the rubber. The string is fed through the machine and connected to its final reel. Now the reel pulls the string instead of stressing any of the several wires that make up the cable. The reel is set to wind at a slow speed as the wire is fed through a rubber coating that coats the finalized cable (and also feeds it through the outer braiding where applicable). Its pulled through several tubs of water that cools the insulated coating before being wound onto the final reel. Long story short the string is used to pull the cable during processing so as to not stretch the cable itself.
Try the test with the Dewalt cables from Home Depot, I've abused those cables and have yet to have an issue, but I'd love to see Tyler run them through his torture tests
My cords always break the connection where the end piece meets the cord. It breaks from bending back and forth. The cord itself has never ended up in 2 pieces. Just the wires inside break or disconnect. I don't see the point of your test at all in my circumstances.
How did you conform the charging & data speed. Did you do multiple tests with multiple cords as a control? Did time & record your charging are data speed for the sake of data transfer? Just curious.
The video we all needed, I'm Happy with this result, would be good to see comparison with iPhone and various android cables (if brands all ha e different types like they used to)
The 90° connectors can be really handy depending on the situation... if you need to place the phone for example in your cars armrest storage but it's too long with a cable sticking out straight.
you should try the titanokobspider cable. Could be good in your experiments. Its made with a gold core to conduct electricity, a plutonium-aluminium foil to protect it from parasit, an electonV-Ti confirmation cable to avoid virus backup, and for resistance and solidity titanium-SW (Spider Web) coating. This cable can transmit at 2 billions miles and can handle 600 tons.
There is a company that makes phone chargers and they claim that you can cut the charger and then reattach the head of it onto the piece you cut and it will still work, I think that would be an interesting video to watch
I haven't watched the video all the way, but I have used an Anchor charger to pull a Chevy 1500 up my drive way and it still worked it was maybe 50-60 feet but 2 years later I'm using the same charger.
The thing about the test is that the wires inside Breakaway before the outside insulation breaks regardless of which cable it is so obviously the Amazon one was way stronger than the black plastic the Amazon when had a steel mesh outside which is a pretty good Gable actually way better than the plastic ones but like I said that filaments inside the copper and the steel mesh inside broke way before the plastic part or even the outside mesh of the Amazon cable so those cables with junk as soon as they stretch just a little bit way before 75 lb
Some cables acctually do have higher capabilities. But you may need a phone that supports the charge rate and a block that can push it. Some phones only support 5w. Some 15w. Some 40w. And others higher. If you are using a basic power block you will not notice the difference. Read the power output on your block. I looked at the tech specs. Both cables are usb3.0 480mbps. But for charging amazon is rated for 15w fast charge. Titan is rated for 30w+ super fast charging(if phone supports it) so yes there is a difference depending on what you buy with the cable and how you use it.
Coincidentally i bought that same cable from titan about 6-7 weeks ago....about 5 days later it broke...i contacted them and to beat fair they sent me a replacement right away. So far....no problems at all but as its a new cable i dont really expect to there to be yet.
They're on aliexpress under the mcdodo brand, they made a new company for North America so they could charge more lol The connector heads are more durable, but you want to go to the higher watt cables for faster charging.
have you seen the magnet cables, there a small bit you put into the phone and the magnet will connect to it by itself. It can also come with a swivel end attached to the magnet end.
My experience with usb cable quality is the strength and rigidity of the connecter. Micro usb is a good example. Have you had a usb cable that you have to wiggle into a specific position just to get it to work? That's the only difference between them to me. Some of them just last longer before you have that problem.
Theres one more test you should have done at the end, connect them up to a charger and see if they still work. A lot of times when you stretch cable too much, the wire itself can break within the insulation and no longer work or it can break were it gets connected to at each end.

By doubling the cable you halved the force per side to pull the truck.
You should do the Anchor cable they claim up to 255 pounds

I'm liking this video for that thumbnail alone.
Had me laughing a bit
The cheapo wires have 4 cables for regular USB. USB c is higher bandwidth and requires 5 cables. As goes for the Amazon cable, the mesh is for cut resistance against rubbing up against surfaces, the foil for interference and the yellow fibre should be kevlar ( it is in the high end cables) for pulling force resistance. Hence why it performed better. *Flies away*
I'm so happy that you take these cocky manufacturers and drag them down in the mud
That cloth string on that Amazon cable is Kevlar, they put it inside of a lot of data cable to improve strength of the entire cable for when they have to pull wire.
Great video Tyler!!!
yes that is mostly correct, but the "strength" really means that it cant be bent as easily. without the cloth, the copper wires would bend and eventually break, but with it, the cloth would take "soak up" some of the bending damage.
Honestly your one of the few youtubers that can keep me intrested and also when is are you gonna finish "A Way Out"
The yellow fiber material in the Amazon cord is Kevlar. Used for strength.
It will add strength but not really. It would break at the ends before breaking in the middle for sure. However, that is NOT the purpose of the string. When the outer insulation is being cooked onto the wires they line up several large spools of wire and a spool of string. they pull them all into a twisting device the preps the cable for insulation process. the string is connected to the new reel that will now carry the combination of all colored wires and the string.
The next process they line the new reel into a machine that feeds the rubber. The string is fed through the machine and connected to its final reel. Now the reel pulls the string instead of stressing any of the several wires that make up the cable. The reel is set to wind at a slow speed as the wire is fed through a rubber coating that coats the finalized cable (and also feeds it through the outer braiding where applicable). Its pulled through several tubs of water that cools the insulated coating before being wound onto the final reel.
Long story short the string is used to pull the cable during processing so as to not stretch the cable itself.
Try the test with the Dewalt cables from Home Depot, I've abused those cables and have yet to have an issue, but I'd love to see Tyler run them through his torture tests
Yaaaaass I’m so excited for this ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Tyler comes in clutch when I’m bored
I got a good idea for a video. Are snap-on tools better than Mac tools? I.e screwdrivers, wrenches, pliers, pry bars, hammers, etc
My cords always break the connection where the end piece meets the cord.
It breaks from bending back and forth.
The cord itself has never ended up in 2 pieces. Just the wires inside break or disconnect.
I don't see the point of your test at all in my circumstances.
You should try surströmming
Ya but how sharp can you sharpen it?
of all the trucks i would’ve seen former-diesel-mechanic tyler driving, none of those trucks were a tacoma😭
How did you conform the charging & data speed. Did you do multiple tests with multiple cords as a control? Did time & record your charging are data speed for the sake of data transfer? Just curious.
The video we all needed, I'm Happy with this result, would be good to see comparison with iPhone and various android cables (if brands all ha e different types like they used to)
The 90° connectors can be really handy depending on the situation... if you need to place the phone for example in your cars armrest storage but it's too long with a cable sticking out straight.
why would any normal human being worry about your phone cable being pulled apart, be like trying to sell a refrigerator by doing a drop test
you should try the titanokobspider cable. Could be good in your experiments. Its made with a gold core to conduct electricity, a plutonium-aluminium foil to protect it from parasit, an electonV-Ti confirmation cable to avoid virus backup, and for resistance and solidity titanium-SW (Spider Web) coating. This cable can transmit at 2 billions miles and can handle 600 tons.
I think Tyler Tube should have a colab with Project Farm
There is a company that makes phone chargers and they claim that you can cut the charger and then reattach the head of it onto the piece you cut and it will still work, I think that would be an interesting video to watch
it actually works, sssniperwolf tested it and it ACTUALLY worked.
The outer metal mesh on the inner part of the wire is part of the circuitry for the Amazon wire. And the yellow fibers are kevlar strands
Hey Tyler I don't know if I am suppose to recommend a product to try on here or where but how about the carbinox watches, flashlight and wallet?
Fantastic thumbnail. Haven’t even watch the video yet and I know it’s a banger
I haven't watched the video all the way, but I have used an Anchor charger to pull a Chevy 1500 up my drive way and it still worked it was maybe 50-60 feet but 2 years later I'm using the same charger.
I don't know what people are doing with their phone cables that manufacturers think we need bomb proof phone cables...
ah yes, the raw wire. As opposed to the wire that has been sauteed to perfection, naturally.
As Gordon Ramsey always says, "ITS FUCKING RAW!"
This cable literally just blew up my outlet 👍 thanks Tyler
Is anyone else more interested in what methodology Tyler came up with for testing faster charging and data speeds? lol
Is it just me or overtime in every video I watch are the names in the back falling down xD
Tyler fix the names haha
This whole video is an Amazon charger ad 😂
You should definitely test different phone cases next that would be some good content
5:10 a little bit *INTENSIFIES*
Wow that was entertaining specially when you tried to move the vehicle
That cloth is Kevlar, and it is for strength and protection of the conductors in the middle.
The thing about the test is that the wires inside Breakaway before the outside insulation breaks regardless of which cable it is so obviously the Amazon one was way stronger than the black plastic the Amazon when had a steel mesh outside which is a pretty good Gable actually way better than the plastic ones but like I said that filaments inside the copper and the steel mesh inside broke way before the plastic part or even the outside mesh of the Amazon cable so those cables with junk as soon as they stretch just a little bit way before 75 lb
Keep up the great content Tyler 👍🏾
Oh thank god Tyler did this. I've been looking at the Titan range for awhile but keep putting it off. I definitely won't be getting it now
Some cables acctually do have higher capabilities. But you may need a phone that supports the charge rate and a block that can push it. Some phones only support 5w. Some 15w. Some 40w. And others higher. If you are using a basic power block you will not notice the difference. Read the power output on your block. I looked at the tech specs. Both cables are usb3.0 480mbps. But for charging amazon is rated for 15w fast charge. Titan is rated for 30w+ super fast charging(if phone supports it) so yes there is a difference depending on what you buy with the cable and how you use it.
Dude 90 degree heads are a game changer, especially while laying in bed. It's all I'd buy!
until you wanna lean on the other side
@@623jrs facts
@@623jrs that was a good comment
@@623jrs then you can just unplug it & plug it the other way around. I do it all the time man its not that serious lol.
@@ironbutt1834 how it only fits one way
Coincidentally i bought that same cable from titan about 6-7 weeks ago....about 5 days later it broke...i contacted them and to beat fair they sent me a replacement right away.
So far....no problems at all but as its a new cable i dont really expect to there to be yet.
They're on aliexpress under the mcdodo brand, they made a new company for North America so they could charge more lol
The connector heads are more durable, but you want to go to the higher watt cables for faster charging.
have you seen the magnet cables, there a small bit you put into the phone and the magnet will connect to it by itself. It can also come with a swivel end attached to the magnet end.
Auto clicked this notification as soon as I seen its a TylerTube video
My experience with usb cable quality is the strength and rigidity of the connecter. Micro usb is a good example. Have you had a usb cable that you have to wiggle into a specific position just to get it to work? That's the only difference between them to me. Some of them just last longer before you have that problem.
Theres one more test you should have done at the end, connect them up to a charger and see if they still work. A lot of times when you stretch cable too much, the wire itself can break within the insulation and no longer work or it can break were it gets connected to at each end.
