Make Durable USB Cables With the Insertion and Extraction Test

Mobile phones are always with us. For work, entertainment, or tasks for daily life, our mobile phones allow us to do many things we couldn’t do before. Market demands for charging and consumer expectations are growing exponentially. Although wireless charging is evolving, its charging efficiency is still lower than wired charging. In addition to this, USB cables also allow for data transmission, making them the most important accessory for mobile devices.

USB cables have always been sold in various sales channels. Poor-quality cables not only have the risk of being returned, but they could even affect the devices that are connected. Both brands and manufacturers need to be sure that these risks are managed properly.

What’s Causing USB Cables to Break After a Few Charges?

USB cables have been widely used for mobile devices and PC products. Cables are considered to be consumables since they will need to be replaced after long-term usage. As long as they are used normally, they can have a basic product life of a few years. Based on our decades of testing experience and a large collection of consumer feedback from the Internet, we found that what is most unacceptable for users is a cable being used for less than a month or even less than 10 times, and it stops working. After exploring further into this issue, the most common reason for this is due to the connector end of these cables gets damaged from plugging and unplugging.

 

Insertion and Extraction Test: Simulating User Scenarios

To solve these issues, Allion’s professional insertion and extraction test can be conducted for verification. Users will probably encounter various physical feelings when using USB charging cables. If the insertion/extraction force needed is too small, it will make users think the cable easily loosens or the charging connection is easily affected. As a result, users will try to insert the cable with excessive force. On the other hand, if the connector is too tight, it will also cause the user to use excessive force to plug in or out, causing damage to the wiring or causing damage to other parts of the cable. These two situations could even potentially cause damage to the mobile device that’s connected. If an expensive device is damaged because of a charging cable, who’s going to pay for the damages?
