Micro USB RF shielding.

Looking to purchase a longer Micro USB cable for my new GEN4 ASTRO A50 Base Station. I'm just wondering what type of shielding works best in a cable.

 

The reason why I am asking this is because previously with my GEN2 ASTRO A50 transmitter station the Micro USB cable had stopped working and I used a cable I had laying around and what would happen is that the cable was picking up RF and playing a chinese radio station through my headphones instead of audio through my PC.

 

People were saying that it could of been malware, the transmitter or the Micro USB Cable.

The USB cable should not be able to transmit anything like that to your headphones since USB is a purely digital signal, I'm not sure what did cause that but I find it to be just about impossible that the USB cable caused it.

Right so it must of been the transmitter picking up the signal.

 

Thanks.

USB cable is computer information, digitized 1's and 0's, no plausible way for outside interference to make sense, even if it's a foreign language.

 

WiFi, a form of Radio Frequency is again digitized, no way for sensical information to make it's way through. *
