What are the hazards of aging data lines?

Author:

In general, there are three "security risks" in old and inferior charging data lines ":
① Easy to be damaged, poor flame retardancy, causing short circuit and fire
Insulation is made of PVC, TPE, nylon woven, all organic polymer materials, long-term exposure to the outside, meet light, gas, water, heat, sweat, microorganisms...... slowly on the degradation, chemical professional term called "aging".
Aged insulation is subject to two risks: the first is prone to breakage and the second is poor in flame retardancy.
Even if the insulation on the outside of the data line is intact, the insulation on the inside of the wire may be damaged, exposing the metal wire. When the wires are connected together, it will cause a short circuit. The current flows back directly along the wire, and the mobile phone cannot be charged without using electrical appliances.
It is still a small matter not to charge electricity. The biggest danger of short circuit is that it will cause the current inside the wire to increase sharply. After a short circuit, the current rises sharply, and a lot of heat will be generated in a short time. If the insulating layer is aging and the flame retardancy is very poor, it will be melted into slag directly. If there are flammable materials such as wooden tables and chairs, curtains and paper nearby, a fire is very likely to occur.

② Poor bendability, cell phone damage and battery damage
Old and inferior charging data lines still have the problem of poor bendability. If one is not careful and bends the data line, it may break somewhere inside, and mobile phone charging and data transmission cannot be carried out.
Moreover, charging the mobile phone is not enough current, there is a rated charging current. If the data line is damaged, the current is too low, too high and unstable. For example, the rated charging current of a mobile phone is 1A, while the actual charging current drops to 0.1A for a while, and the mobile phone cannot afford to toss, it will easily damage the internal structure, damage the health of the battery and damage the stored data.
③ No corrosion resistance, burned interface
High quality data line, should be resistant to electrochemical corrosion, popular is difficult to rust.
Experiments have shown that after being placed in a salt spray environment for a certain period of time, the high-quality data line is intact, while the two ends of the old data line are rusty.
After rusting, plug the data cable into the mobile phone to charge, it will affect the heat dissipation, the temperature is too high, and it will burn directly in serious cases, causing an accident.
