No real way to know.
Even if you were to dismantle the cable, the chip is probably marked as the real thing.
One of the reasons that there are so many fakes is that they get into the distribution system so that even manufactures that want to use real chips may fail.

Hi Jim,
..... so, how can one guarantee ( without dismantling the cable ) that there is a genuine chip within the cable? I'm even suspect of the Baofeng cables.

Hi, s'cuse me butting in but.......
will these work under windoze 10 ?I noticed that the webpage only mentioned xp, vista, 2000, win7 etc. in other words do you still have to use the backdated driver?
Garth, zl1 tue
When using a Prolific type chip based programming cable with Windows, you might as well count on using the backdated driver because the majority of these chips are counterfeit. The device driver auto installed by Windows has been incompatible with counterfeit chips since around 2008. The backdated driver will work no matter if the chip is genuine or not.
V2.0.2.1: Windows XP V3.2.0.0: Windows Vista, 2000, 7, 8.x and 10
Both drivers can be obtained from links on the miklor.com website.
