Review of a tester extracting the functionality of USB-C cables (www.getusb.info)
Has anyone ever seen a "10A" USB-C cable and can tell what their purpose is? in c/[email protected]

Haha pretty much

Interesting approach, never thought about using the cable for something completely unrelated.

Pretty much what I expected, but I don't think they care to much about that

Where? I can't find any reference to any device being allowed to draw 10A: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_hardware#Allowable_current_draw

The video dissects a USB-C cable marked with a 10A rating even though there is no such rating in the standard.

It would be interesting what this is meant for, as I've never seen a device with such a rating?

The USB-C standard and particularly the USB PD (power delivery) is so complex it almost feels comical.

The PD standard document (freely available on usb.org) is over 800 pages long and features a lengthy part about the role of the cable alone which is mostly hidden from the user. Here's a short video about this issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bZ0y9G-4Pc

This video tests three different cables, ranging from cheap to really expensive and explains the differences between each other

There is a lot of variance in regular USB-C cables in c/[email protected]

That's true, they explain this in a different video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9vXDy_zt4I

Any real cable testers besides the one featured in this video? (youtu.be)
 

The USB-C cable tester in this video looks really good, but it seems to be unavailable for now: https://ble.caberqu.com/

Are there any alternatives I can buy right now?
