by Jessica Tillery 06 Feb 2020

#FreekNation embraced our new Gaming Cables with oohs, ahs & a few questions. So let’s cut to the chase and provide the answers that some of you were asking for. 

Bonus: We’ll also go into the differences between USB A-to-Micro, HDMI 4K and CAT-6 Ethernet, so you know which gaming cables are the right fit for your set-up. 

Q. What is the Lifetime Limited Warranty on Gaming Cables? 

A. Any new Gaming Cables purchased after January 14th, 2020, will receive a Lifetime Limited Warranty if the Gaming Cable malfunctions or fails to perform. Send in proof of purchase of your registered cable along with a photo/video of the faulty product and we’ll send you a brand new cable free of charge!

Q. How has the cable construction been improved?

A. Our new Gaming Cable line was redesigned with durability in mind. Here’s a list of our coolest modifications:

  • An improved outer flexible strain relief design prevents mechanical forces applied to the cable (think kinks and sharp bends) from being transferred to the electrical terminations within the connector.
  • Addition of UV adhesive on the connector PCB provides internal strain relief to the solder joints.
  • For HDMI and Micro-USB, we switched from a 2-part plastic to a single part aluminum that increases the strength of the connector housing and protects the PCB.

Q. What materials went into making these cables?

A. Kontrolfreek prides itself on high-quality products. In order to achieve this, we spend hundreds of hours researching premium materials for new products. When it comes to Gaming Cables, we use the following:

  • Aluminum housing for connector durability
  • 100% bare copper wire for peak performance
  • Plastic inner jacket to protect the copper wires
  • Premium nylon braiding for flexible installation options and tangle prevention
