How to spot a fake Oyaide plug


Just for people’s edification: the easiest way to spot a fake Oyaide plug is to look at the plug body and see if there is a metal insert which the screw that holds the body and plug together is threaded into

if you look at the link and scroll down to the first picture and look at the right hand side of it you will see, especially through the clear and blue plugs, the insert in question right above the model number.

If you see those inserts no matter what you were told the plug is a fake. Hope this helps

This is more of a question i.e Is there any way of spotting a fake M1/F1 Oyaide plug combo?
DrArthur, I have not seen a fake M1/F1 pair yet, however counterfeiters are hard-working entrepreneurs.
Your first red-alert sign to identify a fake connector or cable: a price that is too good to be true.
