Why would a lightning cable 'blow'? The end where it joins the lightning connector itself is frayed as though it exploded and the cabling around it (closer to the plug end) is brown as though smoke/heat damaged.
It was plugged in to one of those flat Apple adapters. Genuine cable. This has potentially happened once before as well though on an Amazon basics 2 meter cable so assumed it was just weak and fell apart. There was none of the 'blown' cable coating or smoke/heat damage on the Amazon cable but the connector bit had separated from the main cable after being used in the same socket.
It was plugged into a surge protected 4 way which was in turn plugged into a wall.
