As newer and newer technology comes out, issues regarding signal interference have begun to receive attention. Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) is natural interference caused by electromagnetic waves. When two electromagnetic waves with similar frequencies are being received by one device simultaneously, interference will occur. This is one of the most common types of wireless interference.
The mainstream frequency bands that wireless networks adopt are 2.4GHz and 5GHz (Bluetooth and Wi-Fi). Coincidentally, the transmission frequencies of USB products are 2.5GHz and 5GHz, which means these frequencies are very similar to one another.
Due to the frequencies of wireless networks and USB products being similar, interference often occurs, greatly affecting the quality of the connection. For example, when a user is using a Bluetooth mouse while using a USB storage device, they could potentially interfere with one another, especially if the USB cable is not certified and cannot block out the electromagnetic waves that cause RFI. This can result in affecting the Bluetooth mouse’s wireless signals, making it hard to control for the user.
The graph below shows the frequency shielding performance of a USB cable from 10MHz to 6GHz. The “FAIL” signal in the top right corner means that this cable is at risk of RFI.
