Well, maybe I spent all my good fortune on that MicroUSB, because I sure haven't had the same luck with other cables... The only other good one seems to be from my Sennheiser headphones, but that doesn't get used much, either...
So in rope manufacturing they have the "average breaking force" and the "safe working load" the ABF is the amount of force it takes to break a rope on average whereas the SWL is what it sounds like and is what the rope is rated to hold safely. The ABF is usually 2-10 times the weight of the SWL depending on the material but that's because there's a huge amount of variance in how much force different ropes that were manufactured in the same way take to break. If the ABF is 10 times the SWL, that means there were likely ropes that broke at twice the ABF. My hypothesis is that you got one of these 'top tier ropes' as your cable, so to speak.
