USB, short for Universal Serial Bus, with the aid of cables, connectors and communications protocols used in a bus for connection, communication, and power supply between computers and electronic devices.USB an external bus standard that supports data transfer rates of 12 Mbps. A single USB port can be used to connect up to 127 peripheral devices, such as mice, modems, and keyboards. USB also supports Plug-and-Play installation and hot plugging. while some people only use it for charging. Its functionality vary from one cable to another due to differences in its build.Do you really know how to Differentiate the Original USB From Fake USB cables or Cords?
If you aren’t using the quality/original USB cords you will likely experience delay in charging or experience partial contact while connected to your device, Some of these fake USB cords can also make your device extremely hot when plugged in which can actually laid to total damage of your device. So this made me put this article together to ultimately guide u on how to identify the fake and the original USB.
How to Identify Original USB Cables/Cords?
When you look at Logo side of the USB, you will see two holes that shows inner part of the bus/contact.Just look straight at the color of the conductor inside it. If its color is gold then that means its copper. Copper has relatively high conductivity and tensile strength than aluminum.
How to Identify Fake USB Cables/Cords?
Identifying a fake USB also is pretty its simple; jut look directly at the contact inside the two holes found in your cable… If this contact is aluminum, it means your cable is definitely fake! on drouth about that. Why? The conductivity power of Aluminum is relatively low, although it has about 60% conductivity power of copper but more importantly it’s tensile strength can contain a lot of stress which means it is very low and could likely led to fluctuation during usage. These type of cables usually experience partial contact during use.
Did you know? Aluminum is way cheaper than copper that’s why manufacturers use it more to produce cheap and inferior products.
How to Identify Original USB Cables,it clearly shows the holes and bus inside the cable is made with copper which makes it original. Make sure your are buying original USB cables instead of fake ones that could do no good to your device, in addition you should look out for these properties in USB modems, they are also built with either of the two.and also applies to your flash drives,card reader, e.t.c They are usually made with aluminum which makes them fake.
I hope this post will guide you on How to Identify Original USB Cables,and next time you are purchasing any USB Cables. Hopefully the article is informative?
