How do you produce a great USB cable ? APPACS gives you the whole process.

My name is Julia Zhang. I work as a business development manager for APPACs and I've put together this USB cable production flow chart your reference.

If you go to the production line, you can intuitively see the entire production process of the USB cable. However, in recent years, the epidemic has made it?inconvenient to visit the factory.

If you are in the mobile phone accessories industry or are planning to be, please let the team at APPACS act as your eyes and ears in China. We have been in this industry for 14 years, and we have a very professional team. We can not only provide you APPACS brand products, can also put your logo on products for you.

I have a lot of USB?cable production video?resource assets. If you are interested, you can send me a private message and I will send these videos to you. Some of these videos were made by myself and some by my colleagues. My colleagues often go to the production line to help us monitor the production of each order.

I'm Julia Zhang, a foreign trade salesman. I'm mainly in charge of finding buyers?or managers, and I can recommend suitable products to them according to their needs.

The process of many factories is to buy the cut wire and put it into production directly.Since our factory manages this part of the process in-house,?we are able to reduce a lot of the production time.

If you want to buy USB cables in bulk and want to know how they are made, this article will reveal the manufacturing process of USB cables.

The cable only has a few parts – two connecting ends, the wires inside, and the covering around the wires. The cable makes it possible to transmit data between the computer and the device attached through USB. Also, many cables have ferrite beads that will help minimize “high-frequency noise.”

The Wires

Usually, the wires are made from silver or copper, like most electronic components. The reason behind this is these metals are excellent conductors. When a USB cable is cut open, it will show how the small wires are connecting to each end.

The connectors found at both ends of the USB cable are usually made from brass, which is a copper-zinc alloy. Many of them are nickel-plated, but?some are gold-plated as well. ?The “A” stream will be plugged into the computer, while the “B” stream will go to the device. Often, the connectors come in different shapes to prevent users from getting confused which end to connect.?

The connectors of the USB cables come in different types as they serve various functions, primarily to maintain compatibility as well as to support new devices.

The Manufacturing Process of USB Cables

The USB cable has two main parts – the cable and the connector. However, it’s not that simple to make one. The USB manufacturing process goes through various steps to ensure that the cables are of high-quality and are functioning well.

Remember the following 5 steps, and you will have some understanding of the production of data cables.

Step 1: Cutting the Cables

Step 2: Exposing the Inner Conductor

Step 3: Connecting the Wire and Terminal

Step 4: Molding

Step 5: Final Checking and Packaging

Step 1: Cutting the Cables

Raw cables are the unprocessed materials from which USB cables will be made. They are often long, so they need to be cut in appropriate lengths, such as 1m and 2m, to meet the requirements of customers. So the first step of manufacturing USB cables is cutting the cables into the requested length.

For this step, the required machines are automatic wire trimming and peeling machine & automatic wire feeding machine.?

Step 2: Exposing the Inner Conductor

Cables are made up of various wires, and they are braided and foiled to avoid any electromagnetic interference. In this step, the inner conductor needs to be exposed so that they can be linked to the connector properly.

Stripping the outer jacket – This is done to remove the cover that protects the entire cable.

Braid and spiral arrangement – The braids are arranged by clearing them out, weaving, and folding them in the opposite direction.

Stripping the foil – This is done to uncover the core wire found inside.

Stripping the inner jacket – This process will finally reveal the conductors inside.

Step 3: Connecting the Wire and Terminal

Most of the time, tin is used to solder electronic materials as it has many features that include excellent affinity to copper or iron surface, excellent fluidity once melted and has a low melting point. All these characteristics make it the best option in the electronics industry.

Tin dipping – First, dip the conductor’s endpoint in soldering flux, then dip it in the tin in fluid form.

Soldering – Solder the conductor and the connector’s pinpoint basing on the wire’s color, which is the indication of the wire’s usage.

Soldering examination – This is done to make sure that the soldering point passes the requirements.

For this step, the required machine is an automatic USB wire soldering machine combine the USB connector with the cable.

Step 4: Molding

This step will involve covering again the connection of the cable and connector through the injection molding machine.

Internal injection molding – This means that the first layer of protection is being molded.

Iron shell installation – This is applicable to some products only where an iron shell is installed for further protection.

First electrical test – This is done through an electrical test device to check the electrical efficiency of semi-finished products.

External injection molding – Once the semi-finished products pass the first electrical test, they will be brought to the molding machine to mold the final layer of protection, along with the tag and logo of the brand.

Second electrical test – Another electrical test is done to the finished products to ensure effective electrical performance.

For this step, the required machines include injection molding machines and supporting machines. injection molding machine and some matching machines Connector injection molding.

Step 5: Final Checking and Packaging

The final step includes conducting a final electrical test to double-check its electrical performance and inspecting the cables’overall appearance and watching for any flaws that will compromise the quality of the products. Also, manufacturers need to make sure that all defective cables are cleared out.

Finally, when everything looks great, the products are packed according to the clients'requirements.

For this step, the required machine is an electrical performance tester - USB cable performance test .?

The machines that are also needed are automatic cable winding and bundling?machine/Semi-automatic cable winding and bundling machine Packing USB cable.

I hope that this presentation provides you with a better sense and general understanding for the production process of the data cable ? If you have any questions, you can private message me?and I will be happy to assist.?
