Marcin WicharyI would love an app that looks something like this.
I think all the data is here already,† but presented in an incomprehensible fashion.
† (Except whether a cable might be limiting the throughput, which I think would be very useful to know.)
I feel like if USB-C is such a mess where cables all look the same, having something like this to debug would help a lot.
I didn’t include power delivery, btw, which would also be helpful to know – I just don’t understand it very much.
Other nice things I could imagine:
- obviously, reacting in real time to connecting/disconnecting
- highlighting device(s) connected recently if you’re debugging
- showing activity on the cable if it’s happening
- highlighting special ports if they’re not equal
- eject buttons for devices that need it

btw thankful that even in making this mock I finally wrapped my head around this situation, as I had to make this table. I had no idea all these speeds were an option:
Glenn Fleishman@mwichary you can have a USB-C cable that only does USB 2.0 speeds but also can do 40 GBPs Thunderbolt 3. It is a special case that was not rare. The USB4/Thunderbolt 4 cable type solved the issue.
