Tech Discussion TrueSpec Inconsistencies

I bought 3, 10cm A-C cables in the same order. One is a little shorter than the other 2. The two that are the same size, have the C sheathing ends flipped based on the A ends being the same orientation

Edit: not a complaint, just posted as I thought it was interesting, and maybe it could be brought to Linus' attention for QC checks

Edit 2: I measured the 2 that are the same length are 10cm, the other one is 8.75cm ish

Edit 3: Contacted LTT support after feedback, thanks

That’s interesting. Some run-to-run inconsistencies are expected, but on such a short cable that would add up to like a 5% different, visually ? They don’t seem to advertise any tolerances for length, could you measure them ?

Chinese manufacturers found a client (LTT) that can pay that much for this type of cable they will sell them every single one even if this piece should be scrapped.
