based on what he's posted, it's more likely to be a ****ty cable than a

either way, he did cheap out.

I do not see that this op did any thing other than what every one does
which is they buy at a well good name brand reliable electronics store a
common part that has a stated specification printedd on the pakcage.

He trusted the name brand well known store and he trusted the pakcage and
he paid a fair price.

The issue seems to be that the pakcage is wrong.
But you can not blame the op for finding out that the pakcage is wrong.

How many people bought the same part thinking it outputs more power than it
really does?

The cable was also bought at a name brand well known reliable store and a
fair price was paid for that cable. You can not blame the op for buying a
common part at a good brand store and paying a fair price for that cable
either.

I wish more poeple were like the op.
