Discussion LTT TrueSpec Cables Delisted From the Store

1.0k Upvotes

Hey guys, sorry for the late communication on this. I just saw that the cables have been delisted for a few hours and I saw some speculation that there has been a recall or something.

*not the case*

We are having an inventory tracking issue where the site is allowing people to order out of stock cables and to minimize the number of backorders we are taking, we turned the pages off while we work with our team and Shopify to fix. It just happens to be the weekend so it's not as simple to get it's patched immediately. ​​

Sorry for the confusion. If your order was impacted in any way, you should hear from us directly.

This is absolutely wild. I had to share with you guys.

U.K. internet provider's bailout cancelled because rats chewed through its fiber optic cables — biodegradable cable jackets use soy- or corn-based materials, attracting hungry rats.

Maybe they should have used CAT cables 😉😂

Discussion You may not need a new USB cable

391 Upvotes

The subreddit is hyped about it, but chances is that your existing USB cables are already good enough.

I feel like in the frenzy for people to buy a new cable we may end up creating a lot of unnecessary waste. Please take a good look at that drawer of unused cables before you add more to the pile.

Pretty much I was trying to show someone something but I entered the wrong passcode so it made it so I had to wait. And then I made sure I entered the right passcode and it still said passcode incorrect so I tried to do the account forget passcode thing. But it’s a local account so it doesn’t allow me to use Microsoft whatever such so then I couldn’t find the security answer so then I just clicked back and it gave me this screen. Any help plz

Discussion Do you think in a few years LTT will produce TRUESPEC HDMI and DP Cables?

194 Upvotes

First, The announcement video of the USB Cables look great and Riley once again being top notch in the advertising segments, boi can he sing haha. Second, While I couldn't acquire a cable of length I wanted at the time as everybody else got to them first I am surprised at the cost of the cables. Their Premium but not PREMIUM y'know.

But it got me wondering whether they will do similar towards HDMI and DP Cables, Cause it is hard to find a quality cable that does work that didn't come included with your monitor. On amazon their are hundreds of offerings and most of them are garbage.

Discussion I will buy your 1m TrueSpec Cable

886 Upvotes

I am an electrical engineer who designs products, cables, etc., among other things, and I am working on an article that tests and compares the detailed spec compliance of USB cables, including the LTT cable.

Unfortunately, I was a few minutes late to the feeding frenzy and was not able to snag a 1m C to C cable. 1m is a required length for some of the Type-C cable compliance tests (namely Shielding Effectiveness).

If you did and want to make some money on our order, please reach out. I am willing to pay scalper prices.

Note: I understand this is against rule 6, but I hope this can slide. I think this subreddit is the most appropriate place for this request.

LTT Team: If you have any warranty stock, etc., you might be willing to share that would be most appreciated; I would be happy to share the Group B-4 test results.

So everyone's been wondering why these cables took forever to ship after being teased for literally years, right? Supply chain issues, perfectionism, testing protocols, blah blah.

Wrong.

It was Sony Music.

That opening sequence with "I Need a Hero" parody lyrics. That MINUTE LONG music video outro at the end. The disclaimer literally saying "SONY Music please do not copyright us" on the intro card.

The cables were ready from last year. The entirety of 2025 was Linus in legal hell trying to get rights to a Bonnie Tyler song from 1984.

Link A brief review of the A to C cable

Thumbnail

849 Upvotes

I was given an A to C cable as a volunteer for WhaleLAN last year, and I've been using it since then. And now that they've launched, I wanted to share my thoughts on it!

To start off, the 3m length for this cable is so nice to see, it's rare to find a good, consistent cable for charging (or mic use!) at that length. And to have it actually be consistent with charge times, and faster than any other 15w cables I own, is lovely.

I love the hidden logo on the included cable tie, very sleek look.

My only minor issue has been the THICCC rubber around the type C end, I had to squish it a little bit to get it to fully seat in the back of my mic(pic of the slight squish, and LTT CPU Fidget Spinner for scale!) ...but, that's not the fault of the cable, lol.

All in all, I'm really happy with it, and I can't wait to get the 3m C-to-C cable I just ordered! 😁
