Can you suggest an only data transfer cable one that doesn't support PD, how can I extend my USB C type hub that has 10Gbps rating? The cable is very short. I want to use Docking hub with my PC Desktop as well as with Macbook. Thank you.

Why the gloves?

Are the CC1 and CC2 pins exposed on the connector, can we solder the resistor ourselves?

I need that tester 😭 On another subject, when will those cable makers switch to ultra flexible silicone instead of the braided stuff ??

Your are right, using an extension with a powerful chip with a different cable is dangerous, extensions shouldn't have any chips. On the other hand, properly used short extensions from the same maker and the same "grade" (grade is a big word here.. whatever they decided to use in china..), will not cause any issue UNLESS you go beyond the longest cable of that "collection". Also I would not suggest to use any of those chinesium cable over 50% of their described capacity. I use a short 2ft "extension" with everything like handheld, tablet or laptop as a quick disconnect safety in case something happen and the cable get pulled. Once again it is based on common sense, and as we know 99% don't understand that. So you are right do not use extension cable.

I have some of those female C to C adapter [mostly PANEL versions] they work quite nice, but I won't be using it for anything higher than 12V 2A.

The rest of testers are USB port testers, not for testing cables.

Nice. But only USB-C. I need also USB-A slot.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the wattage listed on the cable the maximum rated wattage for the cable? I assume when you use a usb cable (male to male or male to female and either usb a or c) to charge a device or transfer data etc, depends on the maximum output wattage of the usb port and how much power the connected device draws from the usb.

thank you very much for the test and the great video 💪

Really great content! Thank you very much!

wont send to Brazil....

I don’t know why doesn’t the algorithm recommend this video to anyone, because this video was good! Nice insights!

Some phone PPS charger can offer over 5A, but probably this cable is ordinary f a k e

Thank you for both of the walkthroughs. Very interesting product. I still find myself needing a similar capability for USB A to USB C cables. Do you think a male C to female A adapter will work on this device, and therefore allow A to C cables to be tested?

do current lenovo thinkpad power supply usb C (symmetric round) need the negotiating "PD" chip on the connector end, or are the red, blue, ground wires connected straight through ?

First...lol jk, app looks nice,

Where to buy?

Project is live on Kickstarter right now: www.kickstarter.com/projects/electr/ble-caberqu-a-digital-usb-c-to-usb-c-cable-tester?ref=cz4ynk

Yeah that's the thing with Apple. They sell the charging cable as USB-C, but they also sell a much more expensive data cable which is Thunderbolt. That one does support those standards as well as USB 40 Gbps iirc. I guess the main advantage is you know you're getting a quality cable at high prices whereas although you might get a cable rated to do USB 3 or 4 data as well as high charging wattage from some random gobbledygook Chinese brand for a low price, it could just as easily be a scam.

More info what can do this ?

Nice tool. I am waiting for it to become available. Great explanation but would be better if you compared it to a known good cable with echips Thanks and Take Care.

link for the cable tester? i can't find it on their website

Just cheap, i thing 480mb/s is on some usbc

Very, very good explanation and video altogether. I'm hobbyist in electronics but to the very entry level and I have a very peculiar question. I have a usb-c hub with SD card reader, HDMI, Display Port and USB -A2 and A3, then this connected to a tablet, with the idea of a desktop experience through Samsung Dex interface, so I can use a second screen. This second screen (display) might need or not its own power supply depending of duration of use or certain apps demand. This is not a problem for me since most of the use would be on a desktop with ready power available. Now the problem begins with the hub/dongle being left connected, might be because the hub USB-C (DP) is a dual role face port (not sure) and allows for current to withdraw from tablet to hub when the hub's power supply is off and since this has no on/off switch it will drain the tablet's battery really fast. Turning the tablet off (OS) is an inconvenience so I decided to dissect the cable and put a switch on the VBUS connector (red wire). This solved the battery draining, but some how the devices are communicating to each other still. This bring another problem, if someone calls me or text me or somehow the tablet's screen wakeup, it won't go back to off, it just dimms out like when before it goes to turn off but stays dimmed and as result will drain battery fast too. The key is that even if the Vbus is off (disconnected) if I pull out the USB-c plug or put it back in the tablet's port, the tablet will show a brief notification saying external screeen connected/disconnected.. Here is the question: What other wire I need to put in a switch to stop the table to talk to the hub, untill I connected with the switch? Vcomm (yellow), CC1, SBU1,D- (white) or D+ (green)? This cable is full featured also has 4 high speed differential shielded wires for video, I guess.

Great explantation, thank you for this video!

At first I wasn't sure why it might be a problem, but then when you explained that one identifier would be read, that made sense. I do have an extension cable, but I only power devices up to 67 watts and both cables are rated for that. I'll be sure in the future if I ever really need one, and can't get a cable long enough already, to make sure the capability is equivalent for each.

Surely, the non-conformant M-M connector has a role in testing the extension cable you used, as it wouldn't cause misrepresentation of the capabilities ( as the compliant one presented the cable as USB4). Or have I missed the point? Great video by the way, very helpful.

great video! I'd really like to know how does xiaomi turbo charge works with that usb a middle pin included in their cables, supplying up to 120w

4th pin in micro and mini usb was been used to switch microusb socket to host mode. If device detect conection between 4th and groud (5ht pin), switch on 5V on pin 1, and switch to host mode. Mosf offen used on smartpnones before usb-c

how can get one tester

Thanks for the info. But, for the red USB3 cable, why does the "emarker info" mention USB4 if the "available options" doesn't. Very confusing.

Cool video, and a very good explanation for someone who is not familiar with the soldering process. Thanks for sharing!

How does it know which end is DFP and supply power is it always the Type-A ? Is there a chip that determines that in the cable ?

So, as I understood the problem was in USBC->MicroUSB adapter. It doesn't have internal pulldown resistors Rd which are required to advertise itself as an upstream facing port (UFP). Am I right?

Thanks for your videos about USB-C. They really cleared a lot of things for me.

How do you interpret the results?

I have a usb-C cable from a broken 20V 3.25A laptop charger. It only has 3 wires: Red blue and black. How could it communicate the 20V 3.25 A capability with just one CC wire and no active chip?

"Dater" 🤣

at 3m30 your about to say D+ D- are not connected but the c2c caber is lighting them up as your saying it.

Excellent explanation! I recently bought a cable tester and the presence of one or both CC pins was a bit confusing. You cleared it up. Thank you!

I hope not Hama 😮

Would be great idea to have a tester like that, whick can connect to phone or laptop and export supported protocols in some format. So you can use this to pront a label for that tested cable

🥤i have to get something to drink to finish watching this video

3d printer, screaming in the background 🤓

can you tell somthing? we all are noe tech guys,.......if you tell then somthing, your subcriber will 10 times more

why so expensive, just a coin battery and some leds..... 30euro for a C2C tester with no case.... that is too much.

The best reviews/demonstrations are always those where everything including the camera is fighting you yet its still a great video and device. Servus von Oberösterreich.

i have a issue now with my kingston sxs2000 4 tb , i was for 2 month using new usb kabel from amazon its flexibel 10 cm kabel its work fine but now my ssd freezing and not reading files i was thinking my ssd broken then i use some diffrent thunderbolt 4 kabel its work fine again no idea why its is so
