Ever wondered why your Arduino wasn’t programming, only to find out that the cable doesn’t have any data conductors? Worry not, [Spencer Maroukis] has got you covered with the USB Sleuth Cable Tester!

Not all USB Type-C cables are created equal. Some support higher data transfer speeds than others. Some support fast charging and others don’t. And it can be difficult to tell what a cable is capable ...

Before you buy a cable tester, you need to decide what it should achieve. At the lowest level, a tester identifies shorts and opens resulting from mistakes made when the cable was fabricated or caused ...

If like me you have lots of cables some of which are probably broken or have deteriorated considerably. You may be interested in a new USB C cable tester created by electronics engineer Peter ...
