The cable is actually like a external USB thumb drive in disguise.
At that point it is no different than inserting an infected disc into your pc.
And just like any integrated circuit, cpu, memory, or disguised usb drive in a cable… all that is happen is moving electric signals (voltage changes) . It’s not really code moving thru the wire. Other systems and devices read the voltage and interpret it and do other things.
