Before you believe a bad review about us

We would like to respond openly to every negative review about us. Many are posted anonymously, so we cannot reach those customers directly. This open letter is our reply, and we would be grateful if you took a moment to read it.

But here is what a one-star review will never tell you:

  • We import from 70+ official distributors. That is why you pay far less than local retail — and why delivery takes longer. We publish the date before you pay, never after.
  • You can pay only when your goods land in Johannesburg. Pay on Arrival, no full payment up front. Ask yourself what scammer offers that.
  • Nobody has ever lost money with us. You get the product, or you get a refund. There is no third option, and there never has been.
  • We are part of the ITwork group — ten years trading in Europe, nine stores, thousands of positive reviews.
  • Johannesburg and Cape Town stores open this year — real shelves, real stock, walk in and buy the same day.

We are not satisfied with our review scores, and we are not going to fix them by hiding anything. We are fixing them by being faster, clearer and easier to reach than any reason to complain.

Read the full letter — photos and video of real shipments, and a straight answer to every accusation.

Problem with an order right now? Write to [email protected], [email protected] or [email protected] — answered the same business day. The letter also lists our group and store owners' contacts.

The Bachmann 918.178 USB cable is a 2 m black USB A to USB A cable supporting USB 3.2 Gen 1 (also known as USB 3.1 Gen 1). It contains the additional earth connection and two SuperSpeed signal pairs (SSTX+/SSTX- and SSRX+/SSRX-) required for USB 3.0/3.2 Gen 1 SuperSpeed data transfer. The cable is suitable for connecting devices such as printers, external hard drives and other peripherals that use A-to-A connections.

Advantages

This USB 3.2 Gen 1 cable provides SuperSpeed wiring with the extra earth conductor and the SSTX/SSRX signal pairs required for full USB 3.x performance. Its 2 m length offers flexibility for typical desktop and workstation setups while the A-to-A connectors permit direct connections between compatible devices. The cable’s construction supports the higher data rates of USB 3.2 Gen 1 when used with straight-through compatible modules and devices.

Suitable for

  • Connecting external hard drives and SSD enclosures to hosts with USB A ports
  • Connecting printers, scanners and other A-to-A peripheral devices
  • Short to medium cable runs in desktop and office environments where SuperSpeed is required

Key specifications

  • Brand: Bachmann
  • Model / MPN: 918.178
  • EAN: 4016514074549
  • Connector 1: USB A
  • Connector 2: USB A
  • USB version: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (USB 3.1 Gen 1 / USB 3.0 SuperSpeed)
  • Cable length: 2 m
  • Colour: Black

How to use

Connect one USB A plug to the host (PC, laptop or hub) and the other USB A plug to the device (printer, external drive or compatible peripheral). Ensure both connected devices and any intermediate modules (keystone modules, extenders) support straight-through SuperSpeed wiring. Avoid using crossed or wired-for-USB2.0 cables if SuperSpeed performance is required.

Recommendations

Use straight-through USB 3.x cables only and keep total SuperSpeed cable length within 4.5 m for reliable USB 3.x performance; when using keystone modules or additional connectors, use shorter cables and high-quality cables such as Bachmann USB 3.0/3.2 Gen 1 cables.
Key Highlights
  • Connecting external hard drives and SSD enclosures to hosts with USB A ports
  • Connecting printers, scanners and other A-to-A peripheral devices
  • Short to medium cable runs in desktop and office environments where SuperSpeed is required
