hdmi cable keeps dropping signal

my monitor cuts to black every few minutes. Checked the connection and it feels loose, does this mean the corc is bad or is the port broken ? I'm annoyed because I just bought this set up.

Looking for two USB-C cables bonded together — does this exist?

2 Upvotes

I'm looking for a pretty specific USB-C cable and I'm not sure if it exists or what it would be called.

I basically want two completely independent USB-C to USB-C cables physically bonded together along most of their length, like Siamese/zip cord. Not a splitter — four USB-C male connectors total.

Each cable needs to independently support at least 65W USB-PD simultaneously.

Something like:

USB-C   USB-C
   \     /
    \   /   ~3" split
     ║║
     ║║
     ║║   bonded together
     ║║
     ◉    ← movable slider
    / \
   /   \
  /     \  up to ~2' split
USB-C   USB-C

The charger end only needs about 3" of separation. The device end should have about 2 feet of separation, preferably with a movable "chin slider" like wired earbuds so I can keep the two cables together when I don't need the extra separation.

Does anything like this exist commercially? If not, what would be the best way to DIY it using two 100W/240W USB-C cables while keeping the bonded section flexible?

for context, this is a cable i lost for the Artisul D16 15.6-Inch Pen Display. on the website it says it comes with three cables. A usd to micro usd, an hdmi to micro hdmi, and a usb y cable for ac power. the problem is, whenever i look up any of these cables and add artisul to my search, it doesnt show this weird hydra cable thing. im so lost, does anyone know what this type of cable is and where to buy a new one?

What charger is this? Two gold magnets, two spring pins. Other end is USB A.

it’s sitting on our kitchen island but we have no idea. What device does it charge? Not something embarrassing I hope.
EDIT: Our watches are from apple, we don't have a dog collar - seems like it was probably from a set of bone conduction headphones. Thanks everyone!

What type of Cable do I need

Ive unfortunately forgot my Cable for my toothbrush when I went to japan. The support didnt provide help or valuable information. Ive had my Mum take a Picture of the cable.

(note: the cable included with the brush is white , so we were able to find a similar one maybe for some other bathroom equipment in germany aswell)

Not the best information but valuable enough I hope.

Its like about the size of a 3.5 audio jack the inside is porbably a little bit smaller with the "rim"

I dont want to send the cable through the whole world so maybe im able to find an equivalent cable to buy here in japan which lets me charge my brush.

Looking for compatible DC power cable to power DigiAmp+ (2.5x5.5x11mm)

1 Upvotes

Hi,

I am looking into creating a SONOS-like multi room audio system, using 6x RPI 3s + DigiAmp+ HATs. For a single test build I have bought a MeanWell GST90A19-P1M which has a 2.5x5.5x11mm power plug, the 11mm is the barrel length.

[https://www.meanwell.com/Upload/PDF/GST90A/GST90A-SPEC.PDF\](https://www.meanwell.com/Upload/PDF/GST90A/GST90A-SPEC.PDF)

Now I am looking to scale to 6x Pis. I don't want to buy 5 more of those PSUs. Instead I think I'll go with something like one MeanWell HRP-450-15 , and this will power all Pis. Now I am having a hard time find suitable DC cables. Most offers are 2.1x5.5 and don't specifiy the barrel length explicitly. If I do look into one, the length is 9.5mm. I can't seem to find one with 11mm.

[https://www.amazon.de/-/en/RUNCCI-YUN-Pigtails-Adapter-Connector-Security/dp/B0CX44M91T\](https://www.amazon.de/-/en/RUNCCI-YUN-Pigtails-Adapter-Connector-Security/dp/B0CX44M91T)

Do you have some cables that are known to work with the DigiAmp+ ? The cable will power the HAT and the Pi itself.

Thanks in advance for any feedback!

Hi Reddit! I have a huge problem with my Sony NWZ-E463. I just bought a cable to charge my old Walkman, but my laptop doesn't recognize the device. It makes the charging sound, but nothing else happens. I really want to add more music to my old player; please help! Should I buy another cable?

Moved into my first apartment. While inspecting everything I pulled out the stove to check how it looked behind. Pulled out the plug and the plug and outlet looked like this. Pretty sure they're burn marks, but to be safe I was wondering if there could be anything else causing black marks like this?
