1. Function


As the name implies, charging line only has charging function, data line is used to transmit data, while the general mobile phone data line has both charging and data transmission functions. If you just want to charge your cell phone, both wires can be used; if you want to transfer data, the charging wires can't be directly implemented without this function.


2. Interface


It is easy to understand that the conventional mobile phone data line can be divided into five interfaces: micro, type-c, lightning, Mini USB and hdmi. The interface is not right. Whether it is a charging line or a data line, it can't be plugged in at all, and naturally it can't be mixed up.


So, how to distinguish a cell phone line from a charging line or a data line?

Simply, there are signs at the interface of the mobile phone line. The charging line is a lightning bolt, and the data line with both charging and data transmission functions is another symbol (see figure below). In theory, it's easy to tell whether the two symbols are charging lines or data lines.


So in general, the interface can be used, you can mix it, but there may be some functional deficiencies, such as some wires inserted into the computer can only charge, can not transmit data. Some custom data lines for other mobile phones can not achieve certain functions.

It's okay to use mixed data lines, but we need to ensure that the data lines used are qualified products and not inferior products. Otherwise, it may cause too slow charging rate, loss of transmission data, and serious fire and other dangerous accidents, endangering personal safety.
