See the Secrets of How Charging Cables work and more – buy them today!

So your smartphone needs a charge. What do you do – you take a cable and you plug it in. Almost any device you want to charge, there’s a cable for that. But, how do they work – well, that’s what we hope to shine a light on here.

 

Every USB cable has at least two wires inside, no matter if it’s being used to power a device, charge, and/or for data transfer. All electric circuits depend on loops and in order for a loop to occur within a cable, two wires are needed. The key idea to remember is electric current which is the movement of an electric charge inside of a metal wire. A flow of charges is created by the electric field housed in the wire. If there’s no closed loop, the charge quickly will build on a wire’s surface, creating a zero electric field with no current. Alternatively, with a closed loop, mobile electrons reach back towards where they’re coming from and prevent charges from building up.

 

In most USB cables, there may be between four and five wires. The average Apple lightning USB cable has 5 wires. They typically are color-coded, such as in red, green, white, and black. The colors correspond to a code. ‘Red’ is a positive wire with 5 volts of DC power; ‘black’ is usually the ground wire in almost all electronic devices including USB cables; ‘white’ is the positive wire; and ‘green’ is the negative wire, used for data in tandem with white. A USB connector’s engineered so that the power wires are closer to the tip than the data pins, giving your device power before transferring data.

To complete an electrical circuit when you want to charge your phone, one end of the cable must be plugged into your phone and the other end into a charger. Back and forth, electrons then flow to the charger along the surface of a copper wire. For data transfer, data wires take on the opposite polarity on the same frequency meaning a mirror image is created. The white wire pushes data to its destination while the green wire is working in the opposite direction. This eliminates noise and allows a clear connection to be maintained.

 

As a USB Type-C cable is bent and beat up over time, eventually one of the wire strands break which is what causes a cable to eventually fail. If any one of the four wires snaps, the result is a malfunctioning cable which cannot complete its circuit.

How to Look for the Right Power Adapter and Cable for your Mac Notebook

Andrew the Cable NingaLeave a comment

Depending on the brand of your Mac Notebook, the right adapter, cable, and/or plug varies. As one of Canada’s top eCommerce names in cables and adapters, PrimeCables is here to break down which power adapters and cables are best for a Mac Notebook.

 

Mac Notebook power adapters vary according to wattage, ranging from 29W to 30W, 45W, 60W, 61W, 85W, and 87W. The appropriate wattage needs to be taken into account when buying for your Mac device. Otherwise, you run the risk of shoving too much power into your computer or not giving it enough to do what it needs to do. Be sure to select an adapter with a compatible wattage. Keep in mind, when selecting a higher wattage, it will not make your computer charge any faster. Subsequently, low wattage adapters may not work at all.

 

Many consumers buy what are called MagSafe power adapters. These Notebook power adapters have three primary components you’ll want to know – the connection and adapter, the AC cable, and the AC plug. If you have a Macbook manufactured in 2015 or later, it should come with an Apple 29W or 30W USB Type-C power adapter alongside a USB-C sync and charge cable. For any MacBook Pro manufactured in 2016 or later, it should come with an Apple 61W or 87W USB-C power adapter and a USB-C charging cable.

The best thing you can do prior to buying an adapter is just to confirm what kind of Mac product you have. By knowing the correct model and when it was manufactured, this’ll give you all the information you need to get the right cables and adapters to match. Ensure you’re using the correct USB-C charging cable and preferably one that is Apple-certified. If you ever need to get replacement Apple cables or adapters, you can do so at the Apple Online Store if you don’t mind paying a good amount. If you want to save a few bucks though, PrimeCables has the same Apple-certified USB cables and Apple-certified adapters in our catalogue. Don’t hesitate to drop in, check out the inventory, and pick up what you need.

 

Keep in mind a replacement cable or adapter can come in a different size, color, shape, or wattage compared to the original adapter you have. This is normal. As long as it’s able to successfully power and charge your Mac, that’s all that matters. Shop Apple adapters today with PrimeCables and enjoy free shipping on any order above $49 to anywhere in Canada.

What is Apple MFi Certification and Why is it Important to your Apple Cable

Andrew the Cable NingaLeave a comment

Maybe you’ve heard a lot about Apple MFi certification in the past few years. If you don’t know what MFi is about, let us explain. ‘MFi’ is essentially just a fancy way of saying a product has been ‘made for iPhone’, ‘made for iPod’, or ‘made for iPad.

 

Every MFi cable contains an Apple-manufactured authorization chip, ensuring your cable product has perfect compatibility with all Apple device using the lightning connector. The guarantee with an Apple MFi-certified cable is you’re getting a cable that is 100% compatible that you can trust.

 

If you’re using an Apple product, you want an Apple MFi certified instead of going with an unlicensed USB cable that you could be taking your chances with. Especially when it comes to buying on the cheaper end of the spectrum, some USB cables can carry risks. An Apple MFi certification ensures you’re not putting your device at risk and that you’re getting an excellent quality cable in the process. Apple USB cables are available for connection on iPhones, iPads, and iPods all over the world.

 

PrimeCables is a premiere Canada-based eCommerce company with specialization in cables, especially those with Apple MFi certification. There are dozens of Apple USB cables available in the catalogue, all subject to free returns, a 1-year product guarantee, and fast, free shipping across any order above $49 to anywhere in Canada. If you have any concerns about buying a low quality cable or about going with something that does not have Apple certification, put those worries to rest. Shop with PrimeCables and you won’t have to worry about a thing!

 

Keep in mind that Apple does not hand out these certifications every day. Manufacturers are permitted to use the MFi logo on the product package however there’s strict regulation that guides the design compatibility of any cables or related accessories. The amount of applications go to Apple for approval for MFi certification is high however those that are actually approved are less than five percent. That says a lot about the high quality of standards Apple maintains. It also says a lot about the quality of PrimeCables’ products. Through an MFi certification, Apple guarantees quality of the cable or accessory.

 

Browse Apple MFi certified USB cables and other products at PrimeCables. See the lowest prices in Canada and don’t have to pay a dollar more. If you’ve got an iPod, iPhone, or iPad, Apple certified USB cables like this are a necessity. Shop PrimeCables today.

How USB-C cables are changing the way we Make and Charge our Smartphones

Andrew the Cable NingaLeave a comment

There’s been a lot of hubbub about wireless in the smartphone industry, within the past few years. Many insiders predicted an end to sync and charge cables almost a decade ago. Today, thoughts have changed, thanks to the invention of USB Type-C cables.

 

The ‘USB Type-C cable’ is one of the most advanced consumer cables in the marketplace. Used to sync and charge smartphones and other digital devices, they are regularly proclaimed as ‘future-proof’.

 

That is, USB Type-C cables are built for speeds that most devices haven’t even really been able to tap into yet. Therefore, when you buy a USB-C cable, you’re not only receiving the fastest sync and charge cable in the market today but you’re also receiving what will likely be one of the fastest performing cables long into the future.

 

As evidence of the impressive technology included in a USB-C cable, even Apple has put the future of their smartphones in the hands of USB-C. That says something! After all, Apple has long been at the forefront of how we use our smartphones. Years ago, they used the fast speeds of FireWire to sync and charge. Not only after, Apple made the switch to Apple lightning cables which are currently used on this generation of iPhones and iPads. According to a recent preview of the next generation of Apple products, it appears they’re switching to USB-C. As one of Canada’s fastest growing eCommerce companies in this space, PrimeCables welcomes this news!
