The surface area of ​​the first surface and the second surface is larger than that of the third surface and the fourth surface.

[0005] The data cable also includes a control component and a data cable circuit, a first screen, and a second screen respectively connected to the control component. The first screen is disposed on the first surface and is used to receive signals sent by the control component to display corresponding content.

[0046] Specifically, please see Figure 3 The data cable circuit has a power line, a ground line, and a data transmission line connected between the first and second ends. The power line is used to provide power, the data transmission line is used to transmit data between the devices connected at both ends of the data cable, and the ground line is used to provide grounding for the circuit. Taking a USB-A data cable with two USB interfaces as an example, a power line for powering the USB is connected between port 1 of the two USB interfaces, positive and negative lines for USB data transmission are connected between ports 3 and 4, respectively, and a ground line is connected between ports 6.

[0055] Preferably, the data line circuit further includes a voltage regulator. The power line is connected to the first microcontroller MCU1 and the second microcontroller MCU2 through the voltage regulator LDO, so that the power line outputs regulated power to the first microcontroller MCU1 and the second microcontroller MCU2 through the voltage regulator LDO, thereby realizing the power supply of the first microcontroller MCU1 and the second microcontroller MCU2.

[0056] It should be noted that, Figure 3 The IS shown is a current sensing signal. The current sensing signal can measure the current on the sampling resistor R0 based on the sampling resistor R0 and display it through the digital tube. Figure 3 The VSEN shown is a voltage sensing signal, which is used to monitor and measure the voltage between the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2 to ensure that the data line proposed in this embodiment can operate within the expected voltage range.

[0057] Optionally, the first screen 35 and the second screen 36 are attached to the protected area 3 by means of adhesion; further, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 The first surface 31 is provided with a first groove 37 for embedding the first screen 35, and the second surface 32 is provided with a second groove 38 for embedding the second screen 36.
