One flaw (albeit of the tiniest inconsequential type) with the Treedix TRX5-0816 - if you have a USB cable with physical switch, it will only react dynamically to off->on transitions; i.e. plug in a cable with the switch off and it'll report the cable that has no power transmission capabilities. Switching it on will highlight one/some of the power transmission features and show the relevant pins as connected. Switching it off again will keep the relevant power transmission features and pins as active -until- you switch away and back to that screen where it will be correct (ie off/disconnected) again.

Just in case anyone is confused when the screen doesn't update when you plug the cable in whilst active and then flicking the switch to off/on/off and wondering if the cable or switch is broken.

Heute einen #Treedix TRx5-0816 USB Cable Tester III ausprobieren können.

Und nun wundert mich das auch nicht mehr, dass kopieren vom Smartphone auf den PC so lange dauert. Alle USB-C Kabel sind nur 2.0 :S

I now own a #Treedix USB cable tester and it is amazing, I can finally figure out what my cables are actually capable of.

I guess I'll spend the weekend color-coding them with (cut-off) cable ties. (I don't want pennants, that'd likely get annoying.)

That this isn't part of the USB cable spec has been boggling my mind since the introduction of USB 2.0.

Dieses Wochenende werden alle USB-Kabel getestet, die mir in die Finger kommen. 😄 Nun bräuchte ich nur noch eine Idee, wie ich die Kabel markieren kann, die kein solch schönes USB-Logo ziert. 🤔

Warum habe ich dieses Tool nicht früher (im Angebot) entdeckt? Ich will gar nicht wissen, wie viel Zeit ich dank "schlechter" USB-Kabel verloren habe... Das hat jetzt ein Ende! :)
