  "We found two Gennum GN2033 chips in the connector, one on each side.
   They were flanked by other, much smaller chips that surely added to
   the cable's cost: two chips labeled S6A 1JG on one side, and chips
   labeled 1102F SS8370 and 131 3S on the other. Of course, there were
   tons of little resistors (providing impedance as needed) all around
   the larger chips."

  "We assumed that the other connector side would be identical, and
   we were correct. All in all, Apple's $50 cable contained a total of
   12 larger, inscribed chips, and tons of smaller electronic components."
