What is the future of USB cables?

The use of USB cables is widespread across various devices. For example, USB cables for mobile phones, mouse cables for computers, signal cables for industrial data transmission, low-voltage power cables, and so on. So, with the development of intelligent industrialization, what is the future of USB cables?

From the perspective of the mobile phone industry, the transition from USB1.0 to TYPE-C has only been less than a decade, but transmission rates and charging efficiency have undergone earth shaking changes. In terms of the number of USB data cables used, with the development of globalization, the number is increasing exponentially. In order to better meet the growing demand of consumers, USB data cables are now using thicker wire conductors and better materials, making them more expensive! Technically, there is a possibility of wireless replacing wired in the future, which is optical signals replacing electrical signals. However, the strength, anti-interference ability, and encryption technology of the signal are not yet mature.

From the perspective of the automotive wiring harness industry. Whether it is new energy vehicles or pure electric vehicles, policies to replace traditional fuel vehicles have been clearly established in various countries around the world. Therefore, this substitution and the growth of demand will have a huge impact on the demand for automotive wiring harnesses, and the wiring harnesses for new energy vehicles will be thicker, while low-voltage wiring harnesses will become more complex!

From the development of industrial intelligence, the slogan of the Internet is "everything is connected"! That is to create the Internet of Things. What industrial enterprises are doing is building intelligent equipment. Simply put, the demand for USB cables is reflected in the need for various low-voltage power and signal cables to connect various sensing components to achieve this.
