Is there a reference list on what sites are banned on rfd for our own reference?

I dont get how sites can be banned... you can purchase from them or not... talk about a bit controlling.

I believe it's a certain site that sells the best gear. They were banned for advertising without paying RFD? Not sure though.

Interesting.... I used to get all my cables from monoprice, but now just usually get them from amazon, or even amazon warehouse deals.

I use to use Monoprice, but their shipping got more expensive. For the most part, you can get a comparable with Primecables, or sometimes even the actual Monoprice item.

I'll give a vote to primecables too. I used to buy from monoprice, then amazon, now I prefer primecables for price. Cables arent bad either. I had one go bad some months after purchase, lots of use, and Primecables shipped out a new one under warranty without much hassle.

the question is are they true 3 or 3.1 and rated for 3 amps. Or are they just micro usb cables with usb-c tip with god knows what awg cable inside.

Many just buy what Benson has pretested @ amazon. Thats atleast thats some form of litmus test vs unknown china cables(much like buying sd cards).

I think there was more to it. Like abusing hot deal section for fake reviews for a profit by the poster(free items) and the site and at a price limited to the first few etc etc.

I have a few of the type C from primecables and from what I experienced, they are quite good. The cable itself is much thicker than any of my other cables (including original OEM with phone). The connectors are solid and seems of good quality (equivalent to amazonbasics at least). Using a 2A wall charger, the app I use "Accubattery" reports my screen off charge current is 2.5Ah average. I would go with amazon cables and primecables for a little more $ over the $1.50 wait forever to get cables.

I suppose...but I though the 3Camel site was also blocked all the time, and its just a price tracker...

Regardless, way way off topic. I'll stick with Amazon for now as I can just throw one in with another order to save on shipping..
