It's 22 seconds.
They taoe money to cables to act against counterfeit cables. Counterfeit cables are a serious fire hazard. Counterfeiting is punishable with a small fine, but is a growing problem in china (oh, the irony!). Counterfeiting money is punishable by death in some cases.
The cable manufacturers tag their product with the id of the banknote and register that in a database. So the customer can check if they are buying a real product or a dangerous counterfeit.
That's actually an ingenius and relatively cheap way to verify the authenticity of your product with a serious legal penalty if it's faked.
You just saved me 6 seconds (it took me 16 seconds to read your post). Thank you.
To confirm the cable is authentic.
