Ik las op tweakers dat er nieuwe haakse kabels bij zaten dit keer.

Zijn deze ergens voor HEEL cheap (kostprijs+envelop) in de webshop te bestellen?
Blijft tenslotte een soort design fout.

  • you just can't use every USB-cable, has to be good quality. And after a little bending once I never even noticed the strange plug...
  • I wouldn't mind a new cable either.
    Sometimes, when I move it around for some testing and I put it back on it's place it still tips over, although I've bent the cable numerous times already...
  • @luccie_007 can you post a link to where you read that?

    Or you can just reply on me on Tweakers then i could say the same as here :wink:  I asked @Annemarie about it and the answer was not yet, she was busy with sorting things out for the community day and kept in the middle if they would be there, so fingers crossed :smile: 

    Will ask for a pic because his Homey has left our office :( 

    Edit:

    Got a pic :)

    The protective part around the cable just behind the plug itself is not glued to the cable so not too much work to remove part of it. Used a small plier and removed approx  80 % carefully without damaging the cable, now cable can bent smoother and Homey keeps all 3 feet on the ground.
    My cable now looks almost  simular to latest Homey cable.

    When I read the topic title it looks like I can buy them from you / here....  But still haven't seen anyone sell the new cables.

    I would appreciate a statement from Athom how to address this issue. @Annemarie ;

    ---------------
    These are all bend in the wrong way according to the pictures. For Homey you want a bend to the back.

    Also you want a cable with two "ferrite cors?". These so that (EMC) problems occure as less as possible.

    Thanks @PeterGroeneweg, what I would prefer is a recommendation from Athom. The shiped cable is simply a design fault. I do not care about the cost but would appriciate some guidance from Athom how to address this. @Annemarie ;

    Het BESTE IDEE ooit !  Even met een scherp mesje 3 ringetjes weg snijden, gaat echt heel gemakkelijk, nog geen minuut werk en daardoor veel ergernis opgelost, de simpelste oplossingen zijn altijd de beste, TOP.
  • good to hear things worked out well, small tweak, great result
