How To Choose A Data Cable The longest part of the data cable is also the most critical part, which is the wire. The wire consists of an inner core, a central shield, and an outer jacket, each of which deserves a little consideration.
Inner core
(1) Raw materials
The data cables on the market mainly include copper wire, iron core copper, iron core galvanized and iron core. The copper wire charging speed is the fastest and the iron core is the slowest. It can pass a maximum current of 2A during the current transmission process, and it is not easy to present the risk of heat generation. It is the most ideal inner core material.
(2) Quantity
"Charging for five minutes, talking for two hours" is the demand of many people, and the number of inner cores can also speed up the charging speed accordingly. Now there are mainly 8-core, 10-core, and 12-core options on the market. The more the number, the faster the charging, and the price will rise accordingly. You can choose on-demand in combination with charging speed and price.
Shield
The shielding layer is to wrap the wire core with a layer of aluminum foil or metal woven mesh outside the inner core, which can prevent the risks of current mutual channeling and short circuit. On the market, there are only one type of shielding layer and two types of shielding layers used together, which can better ensure the charging effect and the price will be more expensive.
Quilt
The outer quilt is the outermost layer of the data cable, and its hardness, strength, elasticity and other properties directly affect the feeling of use. At present, there are mainly three kinds of jackets: PVC, TPU and braided lines, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, which needs to be selected according to preference.
(1) PVC raw materials
Polyvinyl chloride, referred to as PVC in English, is a relatively low-cost polymer chemical material. Due to the addition of many additives in the artificial synthesis process, it has a relatively heavy taste in the early use. The surface is lubricated but relatively hard and not very resistant to bending.
Advantages: smooth appearance, comfortable touch
Defects:There is an odor when it is first received, and it is also easy to burst and break. I don't really advocate choosing such a quilt.
(2) TPE raw materials
TPE is a thermoplastic elastomer material with good thermoplasticity, elasticity and softness. Compared with PVC material, it is more non-toxic and tasteless. Many original lines are also made of this raw material. It can be said that data lines basically need such raw materials.
Advantages: good thermoplasticity, soft touch, high softness, non-toxic and tasteless, not easy to break.
Defects: The service life is not long, and it is easy to explode and yellow.
(3) Weaving line
The weaving line is generally woven with nylon, and a layer of nylon is woven on the outer quilt of TPE. The abrasion resistance and tensile strength are significantly enhanced, and the raw materials of PVC and TPE are significantly more anti-fouling, and the service life is increased.
Advantages: long service life, strong anti-stain, anti-pull, anti-break ability. Since it is not made of plastic, it is not easy to show the phenomenon of folding and winding.
Defects: Due to an extra layer of outer quilt, if the core selection is not good, it will simply show the phenomenon of charging and heating, which is relatively risky.
