In practice, the USB killer is much, much more destructive because USB is DC coupled and it doesn't have to overcome any protection magnetics.

- xani_ 4y agoIn well designed USB port you'd at least have diodes shorting it to ground/vcc. But they are designed for ESD protection, so while high voltage, not that much energy The problem is that there is no fuses, while ethernet basically have transformer working as a fuse, USBkiller can hammer the protection diodes till they burn out and then the rest of it gets it.
