Preface
Many domestic accessory manufacturers have successively launched different types of screen display data cables, which can display basic information such as power and current, while the electric powder PD3.1 digital display data cable launched by ChargerLAB has a separate screen display main part, which can read more advanced information such as voltage, current, protocol, temperature and data type. The following charging head network will conduct a simple analysis and measurement of this data, let's take a look at the specific performance!
Product Introduction
The electric powder 240W PD3.1 digital display data cable is a black C to C cable, the cable body is relatively soft, and it is fixed and stored with black fabric velcro.
The digital display screen adopts a transparent matte design, which can vaguely see the internal circuit board structure, and there is a 0.96-inch color screen in the middle, which can display information such as voltage, current, power and current direction.
There are operation buttons on the back, which can be operated by tapping, long press and double tap to have different screens and functions, and the screen can be flipped or turned off.
When powered on, the first-level display interface is charging voltage, charging current, and charging power.
The peer display of the secondary interface is the wire specification/current direction, signal voltage/capacity, data port voltage/temperature, and data port voltage/timer. Tap the button on the back to switch between the display interfaces, including detailed display, abbreviated display, brand only display, and screen off. Long press the back button for the actual measurement, and the screen can be flipped.
The two ends of the wire rod have an extended injection molded end shell, the terminal adopts an alloy interface, which is wear-resistant and plug-in, and the terminal and the wire are made of integrated injection molding process, which is soft and bending-resistant and has a longer life.
The E-Marker chip information could not be identified using the POWER-Z KM003C tester, but it was found that the chip was inside after disassembly.
The length of the electric powder 240W PD3.1 digital display data cable is about 158cm.
The length of the main body of the display is about 6.5cm.
Product reviews
The test of the wire is mainly reflected in two major aspects, the functional test, and the quality test of the wire itself, let's first look at the test results of the function of the electric powder 240W PD3.1 digital display data cable.
Fast charging compatibility
Since it is a wire, charging must be tested, so let's test it.
Use the Apple 67W charger with the electric powder 240W PD3.1 digital display data cable to charge the iPad Air 5, you can see that the built-in digital display shows that the charging voltage at this time is 14.79V, the current is 2.21A, and the power is about 32.7W.
Use an Apple 140W GaN charger to connect the Apple MacBook Pro 16 M1 Max 2021 model through a digital display data cable, and the charging power at this time is 20.5V 4.47A 95.82W, which can trigger fast charging 100W fast charging, which can pass 5A current.
In order to test the higher charging power, the two ends of the cable were connected to the power supply and the load respectively, and it can be seen that the charging voltage is 28V and the current is 4.971A.
brief summary
After actual testing, the electric powder 240W PD3.1 digital display data cable can achieve 140W power transmission through the load test equipment, for ordinary users, with the built-in digital display screen can clearly see the power when charging, the overall is still very good.
Summary of the charging head network
The 240W PD3.1 digital display data cable is made of pure black C to C cable, which is fixed and stored with black fabric velcro, and the main body of the display adopts a transparent matte design, which can see the internal circuit board structure, and display different screen information by tapping, long pressing and double-clicking the back button.
In terms of performance, the electric powder 240W PD3.1 digital display data cable supports 28V5A 140W charging power, which can transmit 5A charging current, in addition, the cable also supports USB2.0 specification data transmission, but the cable does not support the transmission of video signals.
In terms of practicality, the built-in digital display screen is the biggest highlight of this cable, which is very good for the user's daily use, and it is a very good choice for users who want to know the charging work information but do not have a professional instrument to test, even for Xiaobai, it can be simple and easy to understand.
