Comparison Of Type-C Data Lines' Materials

Comparison of Type-C data lines' materials

Step 1: Ascertain the Type-C data cable's material.

Common Type-C data cable wires often consist of the following materials, nylon, Kevlar, PP, TPE, and others. The first few are polymers, which are typically included as standard parts in cell phones. Apple, for instance, makes use of TPE material. The latter two, which have tensile strength, bending resistance, long life, and are not frightened of dirt, are primarily employed by accessory makers who produce third-party products. Their price is also higher than that of regular plastic materials. Here, the editor uses four Type-C data cables designated A, B, C, and D as examples before doing some straightforward comparison checks.

Step 2: Ascertain the USB interface's substance

The wire is not as important as the USB interface. The majority of data cables on the market use iron USB connections with a layer of protective coating on the surface since they are relatively inexpensive.

And in this manner, a sizable amount of water will be stored in the middle. Some data line interfaces have extremely thin protective coatings that are simple to scratch off during normal use; other interfaces have inherent manufacturing flaws that cause the protective layer to be only partially covered. If you don't trust me, continue reading. This also created a lot of issues for the user's future use.

These four-wire USB interfaces look identical to one another. They do, however, differ. The Bull Type-C braided data cable (part number: B) is the only one among them that is made of stainless steel; the other three are made of iron.

Draw two scratches, one on each of the four lines of the USB interface, to replicate the occurrence of wear and tear from frequent use. To mimic the scenario where the USB port becomes discolored with sweat or water during use, immerse it in salt water, remove it, and leave it to dry overnight.

Here is a comparison gallery of images taken before and after the salt water test. Only the USB interface of the Bull Type-C braided data line (number: B) was free of rust among them. The USB interfaces of the other data lines, A, C, and D, were all to varying degrees corroded. The benefit of adopting stainless steel material may be found here.
