USB (Universal Serial Bus) is
considered a very simple and flexible way of connection between personal
computer and other electronic devices. However,USB can malfunction if you are
not using the quality type. There will always be partial contact when using
fake USB, thereby delaying your job which is very annoying.
Today, i want to share with you, a
very simple way of identifying a fake USB. Its as simple as ABC. Get your USB,
check the two holes that reveals the bus/contact. If the conductor there is
Golden colour, it means its copper which is original. Copper has high
conductivity than aluminium, copper also has relatively high tensile strength
(the greatest stress a substance can bear without tearing apart).
Now to identify a fake USB, check
the two holes again, if its silver colour, it means its aluminium, which is
fake. Although aluminum has only about 60 percent of the conductivity of
copper, but the tensile strength is very low( which tears apart when subjected
to stress) Which makes your USB to to fluctuate. If you are using this type of
USB, you will be experiencing partial contact. Most universal modems in Nigeria
market today are made with this aluminium contact, because aluminium is cheaper
than copper, and the manufacturers/ importers make more money from such.
The photo below clearly shows the
two holes that reveals the bus/contact. The bus used for the USB is made with
copper, that is why its golden in colour
