The electronic parts industry is slowly adopting new interface standards, and the USB data interface intends to adopt the type-c interface standard. So how to quickly distinguish the good and bad USB Type-C data cable?
With the HTC 10, LG G5, Huawei P9 and other flagship mobile phones have begun to use USB Type-C data interface, so that the demand for USB Type-C data cable has gradually increased. But just like the problems encountered by USB data cables in the past, the market will always be full of poor quality cables. Under the attention of Google engineer Benson Leung, many inferior USB Type-C was found to be easy to be purchased by consumers, if you are worried about buying a poor quality USB Type-C data line, you may wish to simply conduct your own quality test!
If the USB Type-C data cable does not meet the safety specifications, there is a risk of burning the device.
Benson Leung previously found that some USB Type-C cables didn't work on his Chromebook Pixel. Through further testing, it was found that many cheap USB Type-C data lines could not control the size of the current, because the resistance used was not specified, that is, the 56kΩ pull-up resistance was not used to help identify the device and decide to provide 1.5A or 2.4A current.
USB Check is an App that can check USB Type-C security
This will create a risk of the equipment being burned. For this Android platform, a "USBCheck" App can help detect whether the USB Type-C data cable meets the standard. After installation, you can get the test results by connecting the data cable to the Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P, and Pixel C tablets. Once the Red Cross appears, it means that this line may have a security risk, try not to use.
