Now, how many of you actually had a damaged cable? I know I have. Bad connection caused by a worn out header or even a frayed cable at certain parts of the cable. Remember when people used spring coils to coil around the Lightning cable, which ended up eating through the material instead? I personally used some heatshrink tubes to strengthen the cables, but they’re ugly. Now, Pioneer has released two new cables with DuPont Kevlar Core – one Lightning cable, and another USB Type-C cable.
The new Lightning Cable released under their Advanced Series is MFi-certified (Made For iPhone/iPod/iPad) which is safe to use for your Apple products. With support of up to 2.4A fast charging and 480 Mbps high-speed data transfer, the cable is also made to be ultra-durable. We’ve talked about how chargers affect your charging speed here, and we have to say that 5V 2A is quite fast in terms of speed. Moreover, 5V 2A power banks are very common in the market.
We first saw reinforced USB cables from iCable but of course, it can be taken to a whole new level. The Pioneer Lightning and USB Type-C cables are weaved with DuPont Kevlar material – the material used in bulletproof vests – and DTY material (Draw Textured Yarn) that is made to endure the wears and tears of frequent usage, increasing the lifespan of the product. As seen in the picture below it is able to withstand the pull strength of an average human being:
With a special over-mold design made of aluminium, it serves to provide consumers the ease of plugging and unplugging from devices. In addition to the materials used, a special strain relief design was used to provide more flexibility on the bend-prone areas to prevent the tendencies of breaking the cable. This tends to be at the end of the USB connector’s mold for original Apple’s Lightning cable.
The Pioneer cables will come with a leather pouch for ease of safekeeping, providing more protection, and cable organization. Both Lightning and Type-C USB cables will be launched in June and will be sold separately. Prices of each cables will be revealed during the launch date as well. Stay tuned for the update on this page.
