Technology drives the development of science and technology, and technology derives new products. Today's society is full of science and technology products, and various electronic products emerge in endlessly, especially USB electronic products. Many USB electronic products have their own matching power adapter, the most common is the mobile phone charger, and many USB electronic products do not have their own adapter, which requires users to match. However, too many adapters are not the same thing. They not only need a lot of sockets, but also take up space, which also affects the neatness and beauty of people with obsessive-compulsive disorder. In fact, this problem is also very easy to solve. Xiaobian will introduce a Netease USB smart patch board today.

The model of NetEase's USB smart plug-in board is XCD-01-3A4U. There are three sets of five hole international jacks and four USB charging interfaces on the socket. It can simultaneously plug three household appliance plugs and power four USB electronic products. The outer package of this patch board is packed in a paper box. The style is simple, and the overall color is white. Only the logo of NetEase is printed in the middle.

On the back of the packing box, there are various parameter information of the socket, including product model, size, interface, output parameters, material and product implementation standard, as well as the manufacturer's information, which is very comprehensive.

The editor has experienced many products of ORECO. The products of this company (Shenzhen Yuanchuang Times Technology) mainly focus on smart patch panels and multiple USB chargers, which are of many types and have a good reputation. He also met the company's president, Xu Yeyou, at the product conference of Shanghai Station, and had a good impression of ORECO. Before trying out this NetEase USB smart patch panel, I felt that this patch panel was very similar to a certain product of ORUCO. Unexpectedly, this patch panel was actually produced by ORUCO. Unpack the package to see the contents of the box: the socket is protected by a frosted bag to avoid surface scratches, and the wires are wrapped in a cardboard box. In addition to the product manual, there is also a NetEase after-sales service card.

The manual mainly introduces the precautions for the use of various parameters of this socket and the warranty instructions. In fact, everyone can use the socket, but in the maintenance area, everyone has different understanding.

Remove the protective bag and cardboard box to see the real body of this patch panel: the whole body of the patch panel is white, and there are three sets of international standard sockets and four USB interfaces on the panel. There is a safety switch on the top. The wire is wrapped with a binding tape. When using, it can wrap the excess length. This design is more considerate.

Xiao Bian has used a HPC-3A4U smart socket of ORICO before. In addition to the trademark, its function and shape are the same as the XCD-01-3A4U socket of Netease. Xiao Bian conjectured that since all the sockets are produced by ORECO, they should be HPC-3A4U sockets first produced by ORECO, and then authorized to NetEase, so we have this XCD-01-3A4U socket of NetEase. The figure below shows the HPC-3A4U socket of ORUCO

NetEase USB smart patch board has a unique shape. The design style of edge and arc is mixed. The appearance is simple and generous without losing monotony. NetEase's logo is printed on the end face of the tail. The product is made of ABS+PC flame-retardant material 94V0, with high temperature resistance up to 100 degrees without deformation, which can improve the flame-retardant performance of the product on the material, and ensure the high-temperature flame-retardant performance of users, and meet the national standards for glow wire inspection.

There are three groups of 5-hole international standard jacks in the middle of the patch panel, and the hole spacing is 45mm. The design of 45mm spacing mainly considers that some plugs or adapters are relatively large, and this spacing can be compatible with larger plugs. Each hole is designed with a bipolar drive safety door, which can prevent sundries from falling into the jack and causing safety accidents.

The power switch uses piano keys. There is a power indicator light hidden under the switch, which is not obvious when the light is bright. It is obvious when the light is turned off at night. This button can avoid generating electric sparks when powering on, and can reduce safety accidents caused by indoor gas leakage; The key has overload protection function. When the load power exceeds the rated power, the overload protection switch will automatically cut off the power supply. Therefore, the key design is loose, and there will be a sound when shaking the socket. The connection between the wire and the socket is equipped with a reinforced protective sleeve, which can prevent the wire from being worn or broken when the socket is often held.

At the bottom of the socket, there are four USB interfaces arranged in parallel. The USB parameter output is 5V==4A 20W, and the single USB output is 5V==2.4A, which can meet the requirements of mobile phone charging and daily USB device power supply. When charging the mobile phone, it can intelligently identify the output current, which is very convenient to use. In the future, it is no longer necessary to worry about a pile of chargers on the socket.

For rechargeable devices such as mobile phones and mobile power supplies, the actual access current during charging depends on the quality of the charging line, the remaining battery capacity and the input current parameter standard. The better the quality of the charging line and the smaller the remaining battery capacity, the greater the input current during charging. The editor tested the Meilan Note2 mobile phone and Xiaomi 5000mAh mobile power supply respectively. The charging line uses an original charging line for the phone. The phone supports an access current of 2A, with 30% of the remaining power. The phone is charged with NetEase smart patch panel. The test input voltage is 5.07V, and the current is 1.66A; The mobile power supply supports the access current of 1A, the remaining power is 50% - 75%, the input voltage is 5.05V, and the current is 0.73A during the test charging. The test results show that the USB output parameters of this socket have no virtual label. However, when the four USB's are used at the same time and the input current is large, the use power is large, and the socket heats up obviously. In addition, the mobile phone screen will fail intermittently when the Android phone is charged by the small editor test.

The socket plug adopts a square head design, and is formed by one-time compression molding, which can extend the life of the plug and slow down the damage caused by multiple plugging. NetEase's logo is printed on the plug. At the same time, the connection between the plug and the wire is also designed with a reinforced protective sleeve to avoid wearing or breaking the wire when often holding the socket.

However, there seems to be something wrong with the plug of this socket obtained by Xiao Bian. One foot is crooked and cannot be plugged in. After several attempts, it cannot be plugged in. It should be that when the die is formed, the insertion piece is not aligned. After the plug is formed, the foot is crooked. The small editor breaks the foot with his hand before inserting it.

The parameters of this socket are printed on the back of the socket, and there is a protective pad in each corner of the four compartments, which can play a role of anti-skid on the smooth mirror surface.

Next is the disassembly link: the screws of this patch board are hidden under the anti-skid mat, and the screws can be seen when the anti-skid mat is removed. The screws are triangular nuts, which are not common cross screws. Screwdrivers matching similar screws are rare in daily life. The purpose of using such screws is to avoid unnecessary damage caused by the user's disassembly of the socket as far as possible. In addition to screw fixation, the bottom cover and the socket compartment are also connected by a buckle, which can not be forced off, but can be pried off with a bank card or shopping card. The bank card is relatively soft, which can avoid prying the socket.

The switch of NetEase USB smart patch board has the function of lightning protection, surge protection and overload protection. When encountering lightning strike or excessive current and voltage, the power supply will be automatically cut off, which is relatively safe. The circuit board at the switch position is marked with the model of HPC-3A4U-EMI. So far, the small editor has basically confirmed that this NetEase USB smart patch panel is the same type of patch panel as the ORRACO HPC-3A4U smart patch panel.

Although it is a Netease socket, it is also a socket manufactured by ORECO, so the ORICO logo is also printed on the USB core circuit board. There are two heat dissipation iron blocks at the USB position. When the USB is used with high power, these two iron blocks play an important role in heat dissipation, which is why the socket is obviously hot when four USB interfaces are used at the same time. Xiao Bianzhi has also experienced the ORECO HPC-3A4U socket, and has reservations about the internal workmanship of this socket, because the previous socket was found to have solder skips after it was forked, and the copper strip was only laid on the circuit board. Although this NetEase socket did not have solder skips, the copper strip was too short to be normally lapped with the circuit board, and the copper strip was bent to force welding, As a quality inspector, I don't want to see this situation.

On the whole, Netease USB smart patch panel is a good socket in terms of function, material and shape, which is suitable for home use; However, in terms of workmanship, some details need to be improved, mainly in the plug and internal welding. As the manufacturer of this socket, ORUCO hopes to be more strict in supervision and also hopes to solve the intermittent failure of the charging screen for mobile phones.
