Inilunsad ng ANKER ang MFi USB-C to Lightning data cable sa China at siya rin ang unang brand na nagbebenta ng MFi USB-C sa Lightning data cable na may stock sa China. Ang pangalan ng cable na ito ay ANKER Powerline II C to Lightning. Ngayon, i-disassemble ko ito para makita mo kung paano ang mga panloob na materyales.
1. ANKER Powerline II C hanggang Lightning sa labas ng kahon
The main base color of the ANKER Powerline II C to Lightning data cable box is white + blue, with the “ANKER” brand logo and Apple MFi certified logo printed on the front, as well as the product model: A8632.
The relevant parameters of the data cable are printed on the back of the package.
The detailed parameters of the data cable are: Product name: ANKER Powerline II C to Lightning data cable 0.9M
Model: A8632
Size: 0.9m
color: White
Warranty time: 18 months warranty
Instructions for use: It is suitable for connecting mobile phones and tablets to power adapters or computers for data transmission or charging.
Unpacking, there is an ANKER Powerline II C to the Lightning data cable, a magic cable tie, and multiple paper documents.
Ang puting panlabas na balat ng data cable ay gawa sa TPE material. Ang ibabaw ng cable body ay makinis at katangi-tangi, at walang mga halatang burr. Mas malambot ang pakiramdam sa kamay.
Ang mga interface sa magkabilang dulo ng data cable ay Lightning (kaliwa) at USB-C (kanan). Ang koneksyon sa pagitan ng dulo ng cable at ng cable body ay pinalapot at pinalakas, at ang haba ng mesh tail ay humigit-kumulang 11mm upang maiwasan ang baluktot at pilay. Ang “ANKER” Ang logo ay gravure sa dulo ng USB-C cable, at ang SN code ng data cable ay naka-print sa cable.
Ang SN code ay: GD1910A8.
Close-up ng USB-C interface pin, USB2.0 pin.
Walang mga pattern at salita na nakalimbag sa dulong ito ng Lightning connector, at ang kulay ng mga terminal pin ay pilak, na umaayon sa mga katangian ng C94 terminals.
Gamit ang ChargerLAB Power-Z MF001 tester upang subukan ang terminal, nalaman na ang ASIC at PMU ng terminal ay orihinal, ang terminal model ay C94, at ang marka ay 100 sa 100.
Kung ikukumpara sa Apple USB-C to Lightning cable, ang mesh na dulo ng ANKER USB-C na dulo ay bahagyang mas mahaba, at ang panlabas na balat ay mas makapal at mas lumalaban sa baluktot.
Ang dulo ng buntot ng dulo ng Lightning ay mas mahaba at mas makapal kaysa sa Apple cable.
2. ANKER Powerline II C hanggang Lightning data cable dismantling
The appearance design and workmanship of the data cable have been introduced above. Now we will dismantle it to see what the inside of the data cable looks like.
Cut the wire directly from the middle, the picture shows the cross-section of the ANKER Powerline II C to the Lightning data cable.
Cut the wire directly from the middle, the picture shows the cross-section of the ANKER Powerline II C to the Lightning data cable.
After the outer skin is peeled off, it can be seen that there is a layer of metal woven mesh inside, which has the function of shielding protection and stabilizing the woven mesh layer. The TPE outer skin and the metal woven mesh are very closely combined, and the bottom of the outer skin can be seen. pressed imprint.
Continue to disassemble the metal braided mesh, below is a layer of shielding aluminum foil to enhance the shielding effect.
After removing the aluminum foil shield, you can see the core part.
The structure of the core part is listed.
The red line is thickened to ensure the power transmission capacity. It uses 3 strands of Kevlar tensile fiber to combine with other cores by twisting, which can effectively improve the anti-pull performance and reduce the friction between the inner cores. The final effect That is, the wire is pulled continuously, thick but not hard. It can be seen that the number of fibers is very large by breaking up all the fibers. Generally speaking, due to cost considerations, most brands do not use such a large amount of tensile fibers. ANKER is willing to stack materials to ensure durability.
The wire disassembly details are shown in the figure.
Pagkatapos basahin ang bahagi ng wire, ito na ang turn ng Lightning plug dulo upang i-disassemble, alisan ng balat ang panlabas na balat, at sa loob ay isang layer ng amber translucent structural protective glue.
Alisin ang amber structural protective glue, makikita mo na ang bakal na manggas at ang metal na base ay konektado at naayos sa pamamagitan ng spot welding, at ang mga welding point ay pare-pareho at matatag. Pagkatapos ay kunin ang cold-pressed terminal ng wire core sa dulo ng steel sleeve para ilantad ang panloob na wire core, aluminum foil shield, at tensile fiber.
After removing the steel sleeve, it can be seen that the structural protective glue has also penetrated into the interior, and all components such as PCBA, wire core, and steel shell are glued into a whole, and it can also be insulated and moisture-proof.
The chip leaked out after all the structural protective glue was removed.
The surface of the chip is silk-screened A63616A, which is an Apple C94 terminal chip. Compared with the previous USB-A interface that uses multiple components combined with C48 and E75 terminal chips, the C91 and C94 chips of the USB-C interface are designed to be more integrated and can support USB PD fast charging. C91 is used by Apple’s own cables and is not available for sale. C94 is supplied by Apple to third-party brands. There is no difference in performance between the two.
On the other side of the PCB, there is a silver mirror main chip.
The laser silk screen is a very small G, with a capital C above and 8AE below.
Tingnan natin ang dulo ng USB-C port. Ang panlabas na balat ay binabalatan upang ilantad ang manggas na bakal. Ang dulo ng manggas ng bakal ay isa ring cold-pressed terminal para sa pag-compress ng wire.
Ang manggas ng bakal ay pinutol, at ito rin ang pangkalahatang iniksyon ng pandikit. Ang USB-C PCB ay ginagamit lamang para ikonekta ang mga wire at hindi ginagamit ang chip. Ang lahat ng mga function ay nakumpleto ng chip sa dulo ng Lightning.
Ang contact part ng USB-C interface ay gold-plated, at ang locking mechanism sa kaliwa at kanang dulo ay malakas at malakas.
3. Buod ng GCC Electronic
The ANKER Powerline II C to Lightning data cable is made of TPE material, the surface is smooth without obvious burrs, and the workmanship is excellent. The line body is thicker than Apple’s original, and it feels flexible and not hard. In addition, the connection between the wire body and the wire head is also reinforced, the tail part of the net is lengthened and thickened, and the bending resistance is very good.
After dismantling, it was found that the metal braided shielding layer + aluminum foil shielding layer was used inside the cable body to enhance anti-interference, and 3 strands of tensile fiber and the wire core were mixed and twisted, so that the data cable had a very strong anti-pulling ability, and reduced the wire The friction between the cores keeps the wire flexible. The core of the current transmission line adopts a bold design, and the use of 3 strands for GND can also avoid being too hard.
The Lightning end of the data cable is designed with structural adhesive as a whole. The internal use of the Apple C94 certification chip, the integration is extremely high.
In general, the ANKER Powerline II C to Lightning data cable is in the style of a big manufacturer in terms of workmanship and materials. It is worth paying for in terms of materials and details. Although its price is not the cheapest, it is worth every penny. The principle of distributing goods can be concluded in this dismantling article, and friends who pursue quality and durability should not miss it.
