Why Charging Cable Testing Matters
1. Common Hazards of Cheap Cables
-
Overheating due to poor materials or inadequate shielding
-
Fire hazards when left plugged in
-
Connector damage due to insufficient strain relief or poor construction
-
Corrosion from exposure to environmental stressors
2. Key Test Categories
To meet global electrical safety standards (e.g., IEC 60335, UL 817), cables must undergo:
-
Flame Retardancy Tests
-
Salt Spray (Corrosion Resistance) Tests
-
Electrical Conductivity & Resistance Tests
-
Tensile and Bending Fatigue Tests
-
Short-Circuit & Overcurrent Protection Tests
