Troubleshooting
View all →Common Failure Modes
Failures are entirely physical or heat-related. Connectors can bend or snap if torque is applied to the cable. Active converters (which contain chips) can overheat and fail if passing high-bandwidth signals for long periods.
Maintenance
View all →Check Cable Strain Relief
The point where the cable meets the adapter housing is highly susceptible to wear. Check for exposed wires or fraying rubber to prevent electrical hazards.
Clean Port Receptacles
Adapters carried in bags often collect lint in their open ports. Clearing this debris ensures a solid connection with cables.
Inspect Connector Pins
Bent or dirty pins can cause poor connectivity or short circuits. Examine the adapter ends periodically for physical damage or debris.
