The Mysterious Apple DCSD Cable Demystified
A lot of people have asked me over the past couple of months – “What’s that cable on your desk, James?”. Today I’ll tell you all about it. Every accessory that connects to your iPhone via lightning is ‘flashed’ with an Accessory ID. The Accessory ID essentially identifies the device connected to the iPhone as a specific type. For example, a Lightning-To-Ethernet adapter will identify itself with it’s assigned Accessory ID so the iPhone knows how to treat the device and interact with it. It’s sort of like directing the iPhone to use a specific driver to interact with said device.
