I have this one https://aliexpress.com/item/1005002835878171.html https://aliexpress.com/item/1005002835878171.html
As opposed to the one GP linked which just shows which lanes are connected (i.e. if it's only USB2 or not, it has an e-marker or not), this one is fully featured: it reads the actual contents of the E-marker, revealing if the cable supports 100W, Thunderbolt, etc. It even sometimes shows the chipset brand name in the cable!
It can also check Qualcomm QC and USB-PD chargers to see what voltages/amperages they support.
Some "screenshots" of it in use https://bitbang.social/@kalleboo/109391700632886806 https://bitbang.social/@kalleboo/109391700632886806
- Eisenstein 4y agoThanks. Do you speak (or read) Chinese? If not, how did you find that?
- Goz3rr 4y agoYou don't have to understand Chinese to browse aliexpress, it's all in english
- Eisenstein 4y agoThe page that the parent linked certainly is not, which is why I asked.
- Goz3rr 4y agoAh, Aliexpress has a tendency to randomly select a language, there should be a language dropdown in the top right (or top left if it has decided on arabic)
- kalleboo 4y agoI don't read Chinese, IIRC I found it through another listing with more English and searched for the model number this listing was just cheaper (I can read Japanese Kanji though, which along with the screenshots which are pretty clear on the feature set gave me the confidence this is the right thing)
