Preface
Greenlink has launched a time capsule fast charging cable, this data cable is made of food-grade silicone material, using an integrated glue pouring process, which is dirty and stain-resistant, and supports the use of temperatures ranging from -20°C to 70°C. The cable is available in four colourways: Romantic Cherry Blossom Pink, Pure Light Lagoon Blue, Fresh Mint Green and Subtle Satin Black.
This data cable is a dual USB-C interface, with a length of 1.5 meters, supports 20V5A, 100W data transmission, and supports USB2.0 data transmission, which can meet the needs of mobile phones and laptops for fast charging. The following charging head network will bring the dismantling of the green time capsule fast charging cable, and take a look at the internal materials and workmanship.
Unpack the green time capsule fast charging cable
The front of the box is printed with the UGREEN brand, the product name - time capsule fast charging line, and a cartoon cat pattern is also printed in the center.
The three major selling points of the product are printed on the side: skin-friendly and delicate, fast-charging notebook/mobile phone, and durable.
Product specifications are printed on the back as well as business information.
Close-up of the parameters on the box, and the following is the test and verification of the wire.
The package contains a data cable and a certificate of conformity.
The green time capsule fast charging cable is blue with a rubber cable tie of the same color, and the overall design takes a delicate style.
In addition, some of the wire head shells are made of cream white for contrasting design.
The shell is designed with the UGREEN brand, a raised plus sign and the word 5A, and there are many details.

The protective tail and shell are integrated into the design.
The data cable body is flexible and elastic, and the outer skin is made of skin-friendly material, which feels good in the hand.
The measured length of the green time capsule fast charging line is 150cm.
The diameter of the wire body is 4.45mm.
The total weight of the wire rod and rubber cable tie is about 60g.
The cable with the ChargerLAB POWER-Z KM003C was measured with an E-Marker chip, a power transmission capacity of 20V5A, and a data transmission capability of USB 2.0.
In terms of pressure drop test, the test data results of 11 gears of the wire rod are shown in the table above.
Drawing a histogram, it can be clearly seen that the gear with the largest voltage drop difference is 0.54V at 20V5A, and the gear with the lowest difference is 0.11V at 5/9/12/15/20V1A.
Finally, this data cable was used with Greenlink's own 140W fast charging charger to charge the Apple MacBook Pro, and the charging power was measured to be 19.56V 4.6A 89.91W, and the 20V5A PD fast charging was successfully turned on.
Greenlink time capsule fast charging cable disassembly
After reading the unboxing and testing of the Greenlink time capsule fast charging cable, let's disassemble it and take a look at the materials and workmanship of this data cable.
First, a cutter is used to cut the white plastic shell of the cable, and the metal shell is spot welded on the inside.
The metal case is wrapped in transparent soft rubber.
The soft glue wrapped in the metal housing is removed, and the housing is connected to the USB-C terminal by laser spot welding.
Disassemble the metal shell, and fill the translucent hard plastic insulation support between the terminal PCB board and the shell.
Translucent filled plastic is insulated with high-temperature tape on the outside and copper foil on the inside.
Remove the plastic covering the terminal plate and solder the E-Marker chip on one side.
The other side is welded to connect the wires.
The E-Marker chip silk screen 332A is HUSB332A by Hynetek, and the HUSB332A is a USB Type-C electronic tag chip (USB eMarker). It supports USB PD3.1 EPR extended power range and has been certified by the USB-IF Association, TID number: 4324.
HUSB332A integrated Ra resistor and VCONN diode are integrated to achieve a zero-peripheral design. The built-in flash storage unit (OTP) can support multiple flashing. HUSB332A can also support the flashing of Type-C headers or finished cable systems through CC pins. The CC, VCONN1, and VCONN2 pins of the HUSB332A all support a high withstand voltage of 25V.
The wire is soldered to the terminal plate, and the solder joints are rounded and full.
Continue to disassemble the terminal at the other end and cut open the shell, which is wrapped in the same soft rubber.
The metal housing is fixed to the USB-C terminal by laser spot welding.
Translucent filled plastic is insulated with high-temperature tape on the outside and copper foil on the inside.
Clean off the filled plastic, and weld the connecting wires on one side of the small plate.
On the other side, there is a place for the E-Marker chip.
The data cable is cut to observe the cross-section, in which two red thick cores are positive power cores, four bare cores are used for negative power transmission, and in the middle are USB2.0 data cables, shielded by aluminum foil, blue CC cores on the top, and yellow Vconn cores on the bottom.
The power and data cores inside the cable are at a glance, and the inside is filled with tensile cables.
The internal cores of the cable are listed in order: negative power core, positive power core, USB2.0 shielded wire, CC core and Vconn core. Let's start with a detailed introduction to the core design inside the cable.
The two red cathode power cores are tinned copper wires with tensile wires inside.

The yellow VCONN core also has tensile wires inside.
The data cable for USB 2.0 transmission is equipped with a green D+ core and a white D-core.
The bare wire core is used for power transmission at the negative electrode, and there is a tensile wire inside.

Summary of the dismantling of the charging head network
The length of the green time capsule fast charging cable is 1.5 meters, the wire body is made of food-grade silicone material, and the two ends of the cable are made of hard plastic shell, which is dirty and stain-resistant, beautiful and durable. The data cable supports 100W fast charging and USB2.0 data transfer, which is suitable for laptops, mobile phones and power banks for fast charging use.
Through the dismantling of the charging head network, it was learned that the USB-C terminal of the USB-C data cable of Greenlink is filled with injection molding, the internal plug is spot welded with stainless steel shell, and the terminal plate is filled with hard rubber between the metal shell to increase mechanical strength. The inside of the cable is made of thickened wires, the USB2.0 data cable is equipped with shielded aluminum foil, and the cable is filled with tensile wire to increase strength. The E-marker chip is from Hynetek, model HUSB332A. The overall workmanship of the cable is solid, reliable and durable.
