This cable has a display built into the USB C plug that lets you read the amount of power going into your phone or laptop!
Everyone has that "good charger" in the house, which seems to get your phone from 4% to 100% in record time. But it's a bit of a mystery, isn't it? Why does one charger work great while another doesn't seem to budge at all? It has to do with whether that charger supports and, of course, the supply's output current ability and the length and quality of the cable used. All things that an electrical engineer could work out with a multimeter and some notepaper - but who has time for that!
This Black Woven USB C to USB C Cable with 100W Watt Display makes determining the charger setup easy: look on the end of the USB C plug to read the amount of power going into your phone or laptop. ~3W is a standard 5V / 500mA draw, but with proper USB Type C PD power supplies, you can get up to 20V 5A for a blazing 100 Watts!
Using it is simple: if you have multiple outlets or chargers available, pick the one with the highest Wattage number!
Or use it as a simple power monitor for your single-board Linux computer or other high-current-raw USB device. Or as a quick test for your power delivery power supply to make sure it's supplying the current requested.
It is 2 meters long, so you'll have plenty of cable to work with.
