PlugableUSB 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, Digital Multimeter Tester

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.

I really did not know what my different chargers and cables were charging at. This Plugable USB C extension cable is very easy to use and simple to read. The display shows you the rate you are charging at so you can test different USB C cables to see how or if they work (not all USB C cables are the same). I can't think of any negative things about this tester. This appears to be sturdy. If I come up with any other items I will update my review.

Power chord works as advertised. Seems to provide accurate voltage according to a program I ran on my laptop while using this as a power chord. I did notice though that the chord will not allow a typical USB C cable to fully seat in the female end, as shown in the picture. I did try several USB C cables. I believe this could be a potential hazard, so I would not use this around places with potential to have water spilled on it. All and all the cable is ok, though for the price I would probably want something with a higher data transfer rate.

Very nice to have the power display combined with the extension cable. I wish it also combined magnetic coiling, or more flexibility. I’ve taken it on many trips, and it works well.

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!

Although I am very impressed with the robustness of the cable, I have both a PD wall charger and a power bank capable of delivering 100W of power. The power bank can also be charged with 100W of power. However no matter whether I was charging or discharging, anytime the cable tried to carry more than 30 Watts, the connection became unstable. Not sure if it's just this one that is defective or if this is an indication of a larger problem. I also used this with several different USB-C cables, all rated for at least 100 Watts.

I was looking for a 10 ft cable but decided to get this one instead to work with my 6 ft since this can not only extend charging cable but also the usb-c 3 gen 2 cable in case I ever need to extend that for my portable nvme drive (my pc only has a gen 2 for usb-c on the back of the computer, and gen 2 cables are generally to short for me to route to somewhere accessible. This extender would solve the problem!)Also I love that it has a screen that shows you how fast you are charging!

This is the second time that I have bought this item (I was preparing for a conference and had misplaced the first one). Unfortunately, this time the packaging had been ripped open at some point, and the item in question was not in its original packaging. Moreover, the one that I received was missing a tag that was on the first version I bought. It seems to work fine, but now that this has happened I am skeptical about the manufacturer's quality control.

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.

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. 😀

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

I really like this product because it shows how much I draw is being consumed by the connected device
