Mobile phone Cable

 

︱Where are the differences between a mobile charging cable and a data transfer cable?

．The functional differences

　Charging Cable: Only charge the phone.
　Data Transfer Cable (Data Cable): esides charging, it can also connect the phone to a computer for data transfer. In other words, a data transfer cable can be used as a charging cable, but a charging cable may not necessarily be used for data transfer.

．The differences in the USB end structure composition



　White wire: Negative voltage data wire (marked as: Data- or USB Port–).
　Red wire: Power positive (marked as: +5V or VCC ).
　Green wire: Positive voltage data wire (marked as: Data+ or USB Port+).
　Black wire: Ground (marked as: GROUND or GND).





　Ground wire: Also commonly referred to as neutral wire.
　Data read wire: Connected to the "green" wire, responsible for signal output functionality.
　Data write wire: Connected to the "white" wire, responsible for signal input functionality.
　Power positive: Connected to the "red" wire (+5V wire).

The 'data read wire' and 'data write wire' are responsible for outputting and inputting data. Some charging cables on the market remove the middle two wires, causing a situation where 'only charging is possible, but data transmission is not'.



︱How to distinguish if the purchased cable is a mobile data transfer cable or a charging cable?

The simplest method: Connect the cable directly to the phone and computer, and see if it can transfer data.

If data transmission doesn't work, it's highly likely that the cable only functions for charging. However, the success of the connection depends not only on the cable itself but also on the devices involved. Of course, it's also possible that the cable being used for testing is damaged or faulty. In such cases, some simple tests can help determine the possible reasons. Hopefully, after reading this article, everyone can purchase suitable cables.


．The possible reasons and solutions for the inability of the mobile data transfer cable to transmit data

　 ⚠The USB power supply from the computer's front port is insufficient.
    Solution: Try using another USB port.

　 ⚠The device is not supported.
    Solution: Try using a different computer or phone to see if data transmission works.

After using your phone and charging/data transfer cable for a period of time, the USB charging port may unconsciously accumulate dirt, dust, and lint, which may lead to poor contact during charging, or in severe cases, damage to the charging port. Below are some simple maintenance methods for your reference:

 
︱How to prevent the accumulation of dust and lint?

The USB charging port of the mobile phone is prone to accumulating dust and lint. In addition to being in an inappropriate environment (such as a bag with lots of debris or uncleanliness) or dropping onto the ground, the main reason is often placing the phone in clothing pockets. Although the appearance of the clothing may seem clean, there could be a lot of dust, lint, tissue fibers, etc., inside the pockets. Therefore, besides being mindful of where it's stored and avoiding environments filled with dust and lint, there are two warm tips:


　．When placing it in your pocket, orient the USB charging port of the mobile phone facing upwards

Some people are used to keeping their phones in their pockets. To prevent the USB charging port from coming into contact with dust and lint inside the pocket, it is recommended to place the USB charging port facing upwards. If it's placed in the pocket of a suit jacket, special attention should be paid to whether the phone has a waterproof design, as this storage method poses a risk of rainwater directly contacting the charging port.

Additionally, the location of the 3.5mm headphone jack is usually designed at the top of the phone, which may also cause dust and lint to accumulate in the headphone jack if this method is used. (If the phone has waterproof capabilities and no 3.5mm headphone jack, there is no need to worry.)


　．Purchase USB charging port dust plug

A 'USB charging port dust plug' is a good choice for protecting the phone's charging port. To prevent loss when unplugging during charging, it is recommended to have several spare parts.



︱How to clean the USB charging hole?

Check the "USB charging port" regularly to see if it is dirty. If dirt is found, never wipe it with water, as it can cause rusting of the charging cable and USB charging port. Instead, you can clean it using the following methods:


　．Use a lint-free soft-bristled brush

Use a soft-bristled brush or a watercolor brushes that won't shed, and gently brush the USB charging port. Always brush lightly to avoid damaging the electronic components of the charging port.


　．Use a blowing dust ball or a hair dryer in cold air mode

Purchase a blowing dust ball to blow away dust, or use a hair dryer in cold air mode to blow away dust.
