USB cable warning sign

[thall]

I just picked up my new WyWire LtSPD USB from my dealer here in Boston (very reputable dealer). Plugged into my mac-mini (dedicated to music) and I get a red warning sign: "USB draws too much power-other USB devices were disabled due to draw". Thus, the mouse and keyboard were disabled. Next, plugged into my iMac-same issue. Alex from WyWire was quick to respond to my issue. Though this just happened 12 hours ago.

 

I know my retailer and Alex will replace if this is a faulty cable. Otherwise, any thoughts on what may be happening?

 

FYI-I did audition this cable from the same dealer and it sounded beautiful. Hence the decision to buy.

 

Thanks,

 

Tim

If there is a short between the data leads, the cable will look like a charger cable and the computer will assume it might draw 1000 mA...
