Earlier today, OnePlus has issued
a statement officially
acknowledging that its USB Type-C
cables and adapters can cause
damage to external power
sources.
About a couple of weeks ago,
Google engineer Benson Leung reviewed the USB
Type-C cable and adapter that come with the OnePlus
2, finding that both of them use non-standard
resistors which may damage to external power
sources in certain circumstances.
The engineering problem, which is the adoption of a
10kΩ resistor instead of a 56kΩ one as specified by
the USB Type-C 1.1 standard, only affects devices with
fast-charging support. Essentially, the non-standard
resistor would fail in stopping fast-charging devices
from drawing more power from an external power
source than it supports, thus potentially damaging the power source.
OnePlus also said that it is working
to solve this problem with future revisions of the
cable.
OnePlus says that its USB Type-C cable and adapter
will not create any trouble as long as they are being
used with the OnePlus 2. Those who've purchased
the cable or the adapter separately can get a full
refund by heading over to the source link below and
