Chipofy USB-C cable with power display
This 6.6-foot USB-C to USB-C cable features a display that shows the power being delivered to your gadgets. It can charge up to 100W, which is enough for many devices to quickly recharge. What better way to get us techies excited than a speedy USB-C cable that can help you pinpoint which component in our messy USB-C world is responsible for your slow charge times? Ever wonder why your laptop, Nintendo Switch, or Steam Deck actually drains while you have it plugged in? This cable can tell you how well any of the detachable power adapters perform, and whether a manufacturer is promising you more power than it’s actually delivering to your electronics. (Note: if you want to check the output of these first-party power adapters for the Switch and Steam Deck — the ones with fixed cables — there are other power meters available for sale as well.) Personally, I just bought a nice long USB-C 100W cable and I think I’m tempted to add this Chipofy to my tangled rat’s nest of a cable drawer. Because now I have to try everything I own.
