I came to a special store for a good cable, but I didn't know what they sold.
Everything is beautiful in the showcase, samples of original cables with compliance with the declared characteristics. I decided to take a single-core copper cable with a cross section of 25 sq. mm. I paid, I receive the goods, and I notice that the cable vein looks more like the 16th, which is half the price. I approach the seller: so and so, the product is not the one, give that one or return the money, because the sold product does not match the sample on the display. The markings on the braid are zero, the vein hairs themselves are thin, everything is not the same as on the sample, except for the color of the braid. In fact, it is pure deception. To which the seller and the storekeeper began to make an idiot of me, they say, different arrivals of goods, different characteristics, the main thing is that he is listed on the database (!) as 25 mm sq. "We can't return the money, because the cable is cut off from the bay."
This is what I'm all about, guys, even in a specialized store, seemingly with a serious reputation, such non-professionals can live (I can't say - work). And in such stores they can sell counterfeit goods. Fortunately, I have a good visual memory, and even outside of this store I always recognize these hoochers.
I urge you to trust, but check if possible. Cheaters are not always recognized at first sight.
