Handheld USB cable tester that checks continuity, data throughput and power delivery with an easy-to-read screen. The Treedix USB Cable Tester helps clear up cable confusion, so workbenches and kit bags stay organised and safe. Do professionals and tech-savvy home users need a dedicated tester for every cable run?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Measurement Accuracy: Checks continuity and measures internal resistance to reveal power efficiency and wiring faults
- • Best for: Technicians, repair shops and power-hungry device owners who need reliable cable verification
- • Not ideal for: Users who want a simple consumer battery tester without data or PD diagnostics
Continuity, functionality and internal resistance tests combine to assess cable health. Type-C eMarker and PD protocol checks help confirm safe, high-speed charging compatibility.
Accurate performance assessment - thanks to continuity and resistance testing
Continuity tests verify conductor connections while internal resistance measurement reveals voltage drop and power loss. Ground wire checks confirm shield and outer-shell continuity for safety and signal integrity.
Pinpoints poor or ageing cables that cause slow charging or unreliable data transfers. Saves time by identifying which leads need replacing or labelling for future use.
Detailed Type-C diagnostics - with Type-C eMarker chip reading and PD protocol detection
Reads eMarker chip parameters to reveal maximum current, voltage capability and data-rate information, plus detects PD 3.0 and PD 3.1 protocol support. USB version identification includes USB 2.0 and USB 3.2 recognition.
Confirms whether a Type-C cable truly supports high-power charging and fast data, reducing the risk of using under-rated cables with expensive kit. Ideal for anyone pairing laptops, power banks or fast chargers.
Instant visual feedback and easy controls - with a 2.4-inch high-definition colour display
2.4-inch colour screen shows real-time status pages, and a left white button switches between function pages for detailed readouts. A black button toggles power modes for flexible operation.
Allows quick identification of cable faults on the bench without needing a laptop or additional kit. Clear colour readouts speed up labelling and inventory decisions.
