Why laptop charging cable has a small cylinder?

What purpose does the small cylindrical module near the end of my laptop charger cable serve? They are called ferrite beads/EMI filters/ferrite chokes and contain the semi-magnetic substance Ferrite made from iron oxide (rust) alloyed with other metals . They prevent the cable from sending/recieveing signals.

What are the bulges on cables?

A ferrite bead is simply a hollow bead or cylinder made of ferrite, which is a semi-magnetic substance made from iron oxide (rust) alloyed with other metals. It slips over the cable when the cable is made, or it can be snapped around the cable in two pieces after the cable is made.

What is the bulge on my USB cable?

This lump is usually found on one side of the cable. So what is it? It’s a ferrite core that’s used to reduce the electromagnetic interference from the cable, which acts as an ‘unintentional’ antenna, and other devices. The atoms in the core align in such a manner that they cancel the noise.

What this tiny cylindrical thing at the end of your charger is for?

a) “Own your power.” The cylinders are called accumulators—they’re effectively small batteries. They store a few milliseconds’ worth of power and keep data flowing through the cable even during minute fluctuations in electrical supply in the devices at either end.

Why do cables have ferrite core?

Ferrite cores (chokes) provide an inexpensive, and effective, way of coupling high-frequency resistance into a cable in order to reduce the common-mode current, and hence the radiation (or pickup) from the cable. Ferrite cores are most effective in providing attenuation of unwanted noise signals above 10 MHz.
