Is your mobile phone data cable durable? During the life of your mobile phone, do you often worry about changing the data cable frequently?
The composition of the data line: the outer skin, core and plug used in the data line. The wire core of the wire is mainly composed of copper or aluminum, and some of them will be tinned or silver-plated for the wire core; in the choice of plug, one end must be the standard USB plug used on our computer, and the other end can be selected according to the needs. ; Outer materials commonly include TPE, PVC, and braided wire.
What are the characteristics of the three different materials?
PVC material
The English full name of PVC is Polyvinyl chloride. The hardness of hard products is higher than that of low-density polyethylene, but lower than that of polypropylene, and whitening will appear at the inflection point. Stable; not easily corroded by acid and alkali; more resistant to heat. PVC material is a commonly used material for most data cables. It has non-flammability, high strength, weather resistance and excellent geometric stability. The cost of the material itself is low. Although the insulation performance is good, the material itself is too hard, and chlorine will be added. During the high-speed transmission process, the wire will heat up and cause pollution after decomposition. The data cable made of this kind of material is brittle, has a strong plastic smell, dull color, rough hand feeling, and becomes rigid and easy to break after bending.
TPE material
The full English name of TPE is Thermoplastic Elastomer, or TPE for short. It is a thermoplastic elastomer, which can be said to be a combination of plastic and rubber. The characteristics of TPE are environmentally friendly, non-toxic, halogen-free, and have outstanding advantages in recyclability, and are widely used in various fields. TPE material is a kind of soft rubber material that can be processed by ordinary thermoplastic molding machines. Compared with PVC material, its elasticity and toughness have been greatly improved. However, the most important thing is that it has environmental protection performance and can It is guaranteed that no toxic gas is released and will not cause harm to the operator’s body. TPE material can also be recycled to reduce costs. At present, most of the original data cables of mobile phones are still made of TPE material.
Braided wire
Most of the data cables made of braided wires are made of nylon. As we all know, nylon is a kind of clothing material, so the folding resistance and durability of data cables made of braided wires are higher than those of PVC and TPE materials.
In addition to the three mainstream skin materials, there are also PET, PC and other materials. The above-mentioned several Type-C data cable materials have different advantages and disadvantages. The specific choice of which material to use depends on your needs. However, with the development of technology, materials with poor performance and short life will definitely face eliminated.
