What constitutes a good USB cable? For most users, a USB cable simply needs to be safe and durable. Indeed, a USB cable that is both safe and durable will be a popular product. But how do you determine the performance of a cable? What constitutes 'safe'? How long does 'durable' actually last? Where are these standards defined? Let's clarify this!
MFi Certification
Many high-end cables are marked with MFi certification. What exactly is MFi?
MFi stands for "Made for iOS." MFi certification is Apple's certification for these third-party connection accessories. What is the use of MFi certification? Apple does all this for safety. They require that, except for purely Bluetooth-connected devices, all other third-party connected devices must join the MFi program and obtain MFi certification. Cables with MFi certification have a special MFi chip inside. This chip, together with the iPhone's internal power management chip, constitutes the complete iPhone charging solution.
Disadvantages of Non-MFi Certified Cables
Chargers and cables without MFi certification cannot output the correct current at the appropriate time and lack reliable overload protection. If your phone has entered the slow trickle-charging stage, and your charger continues to output power excessively, it can easily lead to danger!
Nylon Braided Jacket
Why choose to replace a USB cable? Based on personal experience, the rubber jacket at the connection point between the USB charger and cable often breaks, exposing the internal wires. This not only significantly reduces the cable's lifespan but also poses a safety risk.
Many users mistakenly believe that all cables, regardless of their purpose, are better if they are original factory-made. This is not necessarily true. Original cables, due to cost pressures, have room for improvement in terms of jacket material and other aspects. They are also more prone to damage and easily get dirty. So, compared to original cables, what are the advantages of nylon braided cables? Nylon braided jackets are a popular USB jacket material based on user feedback. They offer superior durability, passing over 4000 bending tests. Nylon cables are also less prone to tangling and are easy to untangle without damaging the cable itself. In addition, the aluminum alloy shell used at the USB connector of nylon cables is more durable than the ABS plastic shell of original cables.

Detailed Explanation of USB Interface Definitions
USB is a commonly used PC interface. It only has four wires: two for power and two for signal, as shown in the figure below. Therefore, the signal is transmitted serially, and the USB interface is also called a serial port. The speed of USB 2.0 can reach 480Mbps, meeting various industrial and civil needs. The output voltage and current of the USB interface are: +5V 500mA. There is actually an error; the maximum cannot exceed +/-0.2V, which is 4.8-5.2V.
