Abstract
An approach for managing digital communication between a primary device and a secondary device is disclosed. The approach can include one or more cables comprising a wire and a connection end with one or more pins and circuitry disposed on the primary and secondary device, wherein the circuitry manages power and data communication of the one or more cables. The approach contains a microcontroller disposed between the wire and the connection end of the one or more cables. The microcontroller further comprises a cache NVM (non-volatile memory), wherein the cache NVM cache is encoded with an algorithm, wherein the algorithm is configured to cause the microcontroller to instruct a switching circuit to activate and deactivate the one or more pins in the connection end based on analyzing data transmitted.
