Plugable USB C Extension Cable 3.3 Ft, Digital Power Meter Tester for Monitoring USB-C Connections, Supports Fast Charging up to 240W, 4K 60Hz Display, 10Gbps Data Transfer, Digital Multimeter Tester

Might be faulty, will return

I was having trouble with USB C power sources where device were not charging. Mostly due to several cables overloading the power source. Now the watts tell me of failure or success. 😀

This was a useful cable to put more order on my desk. I got a "Plugable 4 HDMI Multi Monitor Adapter" and needed additional length to arrange the space on my desk.

Nice, fast shipping, received in good condition and work well.

I bought this just for the metering feature, but realized it's super helpful as a fast charging cable extension as well. Having an extra 1 meter extension for laptop or phone charging is better than I thought it would be. The most powerful USB C charging adapter that I have is a 96W wall charger for a laptop and this cable read a peak of 92W while performing a CPU stress test on the laptop. That's the highest USB power consumption that I'm able to test at the moment. The data transfer with the extension works just as fast as the stand alone 10Gbps USB C cable that came with the drive that I tested. Also, it's nice to get a bit more length as a data cable extension because manufacturers often include such short cables with their drives. I really like the clearly labeled specs on the product page, and on the product box it came in, and even with a removable lable on the cable itself for easy identification. I wish more manufacureres did this! Box is high quality, cable seems like really good quality as well. It's a bit inflexible, but I don't consider that a problem for me as I'd rather have it be robust than flexible and easily kinked. I expect to get a lot of use out of it, and will update if it breaks. The USB C male end fits very well with the 5 different devices I plugged it into so far. The USB C female end, as other have mentioned, doesn't look like it fully seats a connector plugged into it, but it does hold strong without wiggle and the connection is as good as any of the best USB C cables I have used. The price is kinda high but I think it's justified. I've never bought anything from Plugable before but likely will in the future.

Came super fast and helped me test a few cables that weren't delivering full-speed. Confirmed my suspicions! With the official 180W USB-C power adapter (currently the highest output commercially available USB-C charger.), it immediately show it was pulling 178W under load. It did glitch initially when testing some cables but I believe that was my error as unplugging everything completely (both ends) for a few minutes and plugging it all back in, worked flawlessly. Very happy, I have several plugable cables and they always satisfy. One warning: If you're pulling as much power as I am (almost 180W!) touching the metal part of the display on the cable gets VERY WARM. Not burning warm, but it's definitely quite a bit of heat!
