They are electronically marked <strong>cables that contain a chip</strong> with an ID function based on the configuration channel and vendor-defined messages (VDM) from the USB Power Delivery 2.0 specification. Cable length should be ≤ 2 m for Gen 1 or ≤ 1 m for Gen2. <strong>Electronic ID chip</strong> provides information about product/vendor, cable connectors, USB signalling protocol (2.0, Gen1, Gen 2), passive/active construction, use of VCONN power, supported VBUS current, latency, RX/TX directionality, SOP controller mode, and <strong>hardware/firmware version.</strong></p> </blockquote> <p>Is anyone here aware of USB-C cable teardowns, or analysis of the chips inside? I'm concerned about the security implications of an infected USB cable.</p>
