What is the value of the Ferrite core on the cable? I have used a cable
without one to connect my V3xx to my computer. Is there some
possibility of data corruption from interference, and, if so,
interference from what type of device?

The ferrite core helps to reduce RFI (radio frequency interference) with
other devices, especially with hi-speed USB 2.0. There are other ways
of achieving the same result (e.g., shielding). OTOH, there are some
cheap cables that don't bother with RFI suppression.
