Mechcables Sky Dolch Custom-Sleeved USB Cable

I've got similar one from one of previous drops. Nice finish, but soldering quality is awful, contact plate on one of usb-c connectors was overheat and fried. If I'd want such unreliable quality I would solder cables by myself. I've managed to fix that cable, but with damage after initial assembly it didn't last long. Afterall I've got a $50 peace of crap

LastisravVinsrenanasThat's what I suspected. I had been playing with kits I got from Zapcable. It turns out my lead-free solder can work near 470-490F (recommended working temp but it actually melts near 422F and can work with SMD LED). Most people still use about 650F or higher probably because the solder they use. Under that high of a temp, plastic is gone in the blink of eye. Lower temp is actually much safer and won't do that much damage. But that means solder becomes very expensive. The last time I checked, some high quality solder that melt at 360F costs $50USD for ~0.1 lbs. They definitely won't use those for your cable.
