Is it common for USB-C cables to go bad? I just had a cable for an Xbox controller start to go bad somehow in a way I hadn’t seen before. When plugged in, it will cause the Xbox to power off. Swapping out the cable, but using the same controller made the problem go away, so it’s definitely the cable causing it. It’s the same USB-C cable we had been using for awhile with this controller, it’s what came with it.
I have a USB-C cable that will only work in a specific orientation. So I’ll plug in a device, laptop won’t recognize it, (sigh) unplug and flip the cable, and then everything works.
USB-A’s legacy lives on

it’s not that they go bad. this tool can tell you what features are on the cable because the cables vary a lot.
It’s not the cable that goes bad it’s the connectors on the ends: They wear out.
