Yes, the cable on the Aident AI-30 intraoral scanner can be replaced through official channels.
The AI-30 uses a wired USB 3.0 connection for stable, high-speed data transfer and power. Unlike wireless models, this design prioritizes connection reliability in daily clinical use. As a manufacturer, Aident Technology Co., Ltd. supplies spare parts, including cables, via its after-sales and distributor support network.
1. Why the AI-30 Uses a Wired Connection
| Aspect | Wired Advantage (AI-30) | Typical Wireless Consideration |
|---|---|---|
| Data stability | Consistent high-speed transfer | Possible interference or battery limits |
| Power | Continuous power via cable | Battery charging required |
| Reliability | No signal drop during critical scans | Depends on wireless performance |
| Cost of ownership | Lower long-term accessory complexity | Battery and charging station costs |
Official comparison tables list the AI-30 Connection as Wired, while several competitors offer wireless options. Aident chose the wired approach for predictable performance in real clinic environments.
