USB cables often feel warm because they carry both data and high‑current power, converting resistance into heat, whereas Ethernet cables transmit only low‑current differential signals, resulting in minimal heat generation, with PoE‑enabled cables being a notable exception that still stays relatively cool.
USB cables often feel warm during charging or fast data transfer because they carry high current and have limited heat dissipation, whereas Ethernet cables remain cool by solely transmitting low‑voltage differential signals; even Power over Ethernet adds only modest heat due to low current distribution.
