On the Type-C charging cable connector, there is a chip called E-marker (Electronic Marked Cable), just like the security identification card of the charging cable, this chip indicates the manufacturer, specification and current load capacity and other information.<\/p><p>It can monitor the charging status and allocate the current properly.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>At present, the specifications of Type-C charging cables on the market are mostly 3A and 5A. According to the regulations of the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF), the E-Marker must be embedded in the Type-C cable to ensure the charging is under the safe-protection mechanism when the power adapter&#8217;s electric current output is greater than 3A. If the E-marker is not embedded in accordance with the regulations, it is possible to damage our devices.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>It is curious that how we identify if an E-marker is embedded in the Type-C cable we have? In fact, the E-marker cannot be identified out externally from the Type-C cable. If you want to test whether the cable we have is embedded in the E-marker, we must use a professional instrument to test. Therefore, it is highly suggested that we should not buy the cheap cable because it could be riskier than our first thought. It is important to buy the extremely reliable cables in compliance with high quality assurance.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f7e204a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f7e204a\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-20ef2dd\" data-id=\"20ef2dd\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f390797 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f390797\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p><b>Apple MFi-certified lightning cables<\/b><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>MFi Certification (Made For i-Product) is a test plan and formal authorization standard to provide the manufactures access to the technical specifications and resources needed to create accessories that communicate with Apple devices using MFi technologies and components.
