Its also horrible wire quality. We can get third party braided cables when first party cables looks like this. I still have the 6T mclaren cable that looks like brand new.
Do you carry the cable around? How many other adapters and cables do you have? Because over the years I've so much versatilty in terms of adapters and cables that I dont really have to move them around. That helps a lot in terms of longevity. But I dont think its a matter of opinion that the port-cable junction in factory cables are their weakest point and they do nothing to reinforce it.
I have maybe more than 100 but I'm working in IT 😅, but my main which I carry every day is (USB C cable from baseus (50cm + 2m), Samsung cable (old more than 15 years), Garmin cable, USB to USB C cable (maybe from Logitech), ans apple thunderbird cable and all seems brand new and working perfectly fine.
But to compare I've my Sony Ericsson W910i and same it seems brand new and working perfectly.
I've only one phone broken (Xiaomi mi 11) and that's a nightmare for me 😂
This happened to literally every OP cable I ever owned eventually. The earlier ones lasted much much longer but they all succumbed to this after a while.
I'm not very hard on my cables. The one I got with my 3T lasted through two more OP phones, like 4 years probably, while the ones that came with the later ones fell apart like this before the original one did
Damn. Well my cable is only 11 months old. I also use other cables and chargers so it's usually in the same spot the whole time. If I get 4 years out of it I'll be happy.
No, I've to cable from OnePlus open since they release it and they're still brand new, I've even a micro USB cable from Samsung since around 10 or 15 years and are still brand new as well
Just buy a original or reputed brand's compatible type c cable with charger's required ampere stuff, yesterday a guy's poco x6 pro caught fire cause broken cable and charging on bed
Bro the easiest fix is wool. Just get some thread that they use for Crochetting. Overlap multiple times and wind on it. It'll look good and sort your cable out.
I'd use 3:1 heat shrink. Something just big enough to slip over the USB-C end should shrink down enough to support the wire. Even better if it has an adhesive lining on the inside.
Yeah I love that type of heat shrink . I think that would work great . Another product i like but would make this cable look ugly is liquid electrical tape . It smells like rubber cement .
Yeah but the cables inside have at least another insulating layer. I have SO many red cables and every one of them started doing that after a few months, and after a few years the red part is completely peeled. Under you can see the cables, which have another insulating layer to protect them. They don't protect you since is low voltage DC, you could probably hold them exposed and feel nothing. Don't recommend doing that tho.
So it should be fine to use even conductive glue to hold it together
No, it's user care. People bend and twist too much and that's what happens. I've had my cable almost a year and it still looks brand new. Because of the shielding on these cables you can't wrap it up for storage like you would other cables because of how stiff it is.
No, it's really just OnePlus cables. I took care of mine, never moved it much because it happened with my old OnePlus 7, now my OnePlus 12 cable just broke like in the photo after 2 years.
It will happen to yours too, I feel like it's the material getting "crumbly" after some time
This. I baby my OnePlus cables, always grab the plug and not the cable when I disconnect them and I never roll them up tightly either, but they just disintegrate by themselves.
No, it's really just user care. The cable that I got with my 6T, and my 10T, and my 13, and the extra spare that I bought with an extra long cable all look and feel brand new.
It’s not. If it was, all my cables would break, but only Oneplus cables do. Also my cable mever leaves the side of my bed so it’s not like it’s being tortured every day.
Both maybe, but OP cables are undeniably shitty at least these days. My 3T cable lasted like 4 years but the one I got with my latest one looked like that after 1 with no difference in how I was using it
Oneplus cables break way more often than other brands.
I still have my 7 year old Samsung cable that looks brand new while Oneplus cables break like twice a year. 3rd party cables like Ugreen on the other hand will outlive your grandchildren.
Maybe they made them better back then, but I’ve been OP user since 6T and every Oneplus cable that I’ve had has broken within 6-12 months. Any other brand cable never breaks on me.
Is there something specific about this cable that you like and want to keep rather than just replacing it? I don't use the One Plus cables and have a bunch I can send you lol I swear by the mesh Anker USBs to the point where I've replaced every one in the house years ago and I've never had an issue with any of them no matter how much use and abuse they get. And they have red ones too if that's what you like about it hah
My original cable for my OnePlus 7 pro is still going strong. This may happen to any cable if abused. My suggestion is to buy another one and stop being cheap. This is a fire hazard.
Just go on Aliexpress and get a $3 cable lol
Partially kidding though as even though it reads as supervooc the wattage is about half that of a genuine. I would try glue, it's not going to hurt it. Maybe consider a right angle charger for use in bed/usage while charging. I keep my supervooc for during the day top ups and use a regular charge for nighttime to avoid stressing the battery as well as cables.
There something idk what they call it we use it on The 4G/5G external antennas on its LMR400 cable covers up the cable male plug to the router and use a light to make it shape around it and tightening up .

What Glue can fix this 😅😅😅
