What is the difference between good and bad charging cables?

1、 What is the difference between good and poor quality charging cables?

1. Different core wire materials

A good charging cable uses high-quality "tin plated oxidized copper wire" or "copper plated iron magnesium wire", which have good conductivity and can ensure maximum current loss or leakage, without affecting charging speed and long-term service life.

Poor quality charging cables often use cheap copper wires, and the wire film is often not thick enough, which is prone to breakage or wear. This not only leads to a significant slowdown in charging speed, but also easily causes power loss and damage to charging equipment.

2. Different lengths of charging cables

When designing a good charging cable, the convenience of consumer use is generally considered, and the length will be selected according to different scenarios, such as home, car, bedside, travel, etc. However, low-quality charging cables are not flexible enough in terms of length, and users cannot adjust the cable length according to the actual situation during use, which can cause certain inconvenience.

3. Different brand quality assurance

Good charging cables are usually from reputable brands with a certain level of quality assurance. However, low-quality charging cables are mostly produced by small manufacturers, and the quality cannot be guaranteed, which may pose safety hazards during use.

2、 How to choose high-quality charging cables?

1. Observe the appearance

Firstly, check the appearance of the charging cable to see if there are any fractures, deformations, or excessive bundling. At the same time, it is necessary to carefully observe whether the wire ends are fine and whether the details are handled properly, such as whether the scale is clear, whether the wire body is smooth, and whether the connector is firm. These are also one of the standards for judging the quality of the charging cable.

2. Select the hard drive data cable

If you are not pursuing fast charging and the main purpose of using a charging cable is for charging rather than data transmission, it is recommended to choose a hard drive data cable, which is made of more sturdy and durable material.

3. Brand selection should be reliable

It is recommended to choose a well-known brand of charging cable, which can avoid purchasing inferior products and also enjoy quality assurance and after-sales service.

3、 How to use the charging cable correctly?

1. Do not plug and unplug too many times

Frequent plugging and unplugging of charging cables can cause cable failure, and excessive plugging and unplugging should be avoided as much as possible.

2. Do not use for too long

Long term use of charging cables can lead to insufficient internal heat dissipation, which may create high-temperature areas inside electrical appliances, accelerate the aging and even damage of electrical components.

3. Do not forcefully fold

Charging cables cannot be forcefully folded or tied, as this can cause excessive wear and tear on the wires, making them more prone to malfunctions, wire bursts, and other issues.

In short, although the quality of a charging cable may seem subtle, it is related to the speed and safety of mobile phone charging. A good charging cable can not only protect electrical devices, extend their service life, but also provide a smoother charging experience. Therefore, when purchasing charging equipment, it is important to pay extra attention to the quality of the charging cable, select high-quality charging cables, and provide the best protection for devices such as mobile phones and tablets.
