USB Cable Tester with 2.4" Color Screen for eMarker Reading, PD 3.0/3.1 Detection, Resistor and Continuity Check, Compatible with Lightning, Type-C, Micro-B 2.0/3.0, and Mini-B Cables

Works as advertised.

Cables, Cables, Cables! Cables have gotten a lot more sophisticated over the years. It’s no longer just wires connecting two ends. Many modern cables include internal circuitry, chips, and e-markers that tell your devices what they can handle in terms of charging and data transfer. This little tester removes the uncertainty of trusting cable descriptions. It works with USB-C, Micro-B, and Mini-B cables, and can check continuity, data capability, and resistance. It also reads USB-C e-markers to show power delivery and data transfer capabilities, which is very helpful when sorting through a drawer full of mixed cables. What I like: - Works with more than just USB-C cables, including Micro-B and Mini-B - Reads USB-C e-markers to identify supported charging and data specs - Checks for continuity and resistance to verify cable integrity - Compact, easy to power with either USB or AAA batteries - The color screen is bright and clear, with an intuitive menu system It doesn’t test real-time charging performance, and that’s fine since that’s not what it’s designed for. I use another simple tester for that. This one is for verifying specs and quality, and it does that job perfectly (see pictures). If you have lots of cables and want to know exactly which ones are high-quality or support fast charging, this is an excellent tool to have on your bench or desk.

Es una excelente herramienta, tengo demasiados cables en casa y pues ya con éste equipo ya podré clasificar si es para datos de baja velocidad, alta velocidad o simplemente cable de carga.

One of the best purchases if you use lots of different Usb cables and devices. There are Soooo many reasons why certain cables don’t work. Usb is “less a standard” and “more a lottery” but this makes it simple to check and label every cable for it’s suited purpose.

Works very well. I am going through every USB cable in the house. If broken it gets recycled. Anything lower than USB 2 gets recycled. They all get labelled and marked if it can handle PD.
