How to Identify Fake USB Cables/Cords

How do you know a USB cord is fake, its simple; look directly at the contact inside the two holes found in your cable… If this contact is aluminum, it means your cable is definitely fake! Why? The conductivity power of Aluminium is relatively low, although it has about 60% conductivity power of copper but more importantly it’s tensile strength can contain a lot of stress which means it is very low and could likely led to fluctuation during usage. These type of cables usually experience partial contact during use.

Did you know? Aluminium is way cheaper than copper that’s why manufacturers use it more to produce cheap and inferior products.

Guys shine your eyes well well o! See the featured image; it clearly shows the holes and bus inside the cable is made with copper which makes it original. Make sure you are buying original USB cables instead of the fake ones that could eventually damage your device.

In addition to that, always look out for these properties when purchasing a new USB modems, they are also built with either of the two especially those ones you call universal cables… They are usually made of aluminium which makes them fake. It’s better to buy original modems and crack/unlock ’em.

I hope it’s informative?
