In this article, we will discuss the latest Xiaomi 6A USB4 data cable in further detail including its price in Nepal.

Xiaomi 6A USB4 Overview

Design

There is not much we can talk about in terms of the design of a data cable. The Xiaomi 6A USB4 looks pretty standard with Dark Grey colour and USB Type-C ports on both ends. Inside, it uses a coaxial core while the outer body comes in a braided finish. Meanwhile, the material of the cable is a combination of TPE and PTE, both of which are a type of polymer.

In the meantime, the cord stretches a metre in length and has a tensile strength of over 100N. Meaning, that the Xiaomi 6A USB4 can hold weights of up to 10 kilos without much issue. Lastly, the company assures a plug and unplug life of more than 10,000 times.
