Very much appreciated! I am afraid that those cables that turned out badly will be continued to be sold under completely different name soon. Those brands really don't seem to last long.
Thanks, I used your amazon link! Love the uni cable, I've been using their hub and the short cable the hub came with fixed my 100W problem so this video was just more confidence!
I found these usb-c cables on amazon that have a built-in power readout. The USB-c connector has a small LED display, showing the watts delivered. I found it to be very handy -- until it failed. It was too hot to touch, probably failed with a short circuit. It got really hot, the connector actually melted. As a result, I wanted to know what kind of quality issue causes such a dangerous failure. I hope you are able to review some of these charging cables in the future. thanks.
I have looked at two of these cables, the AOHi (in the round 3 video) and the Mcdodo (I think in this video). I noticed the ends are warmer in general versus a normal cable. They have to cram a lot of electronics into a small space so it isn't a surprise for a cable with a display in it to short out. There are tons of cheap cables online though. I should do a teardown of the cables with displays in them and see if there is anyway they could short during normal use. Thanks for the insight though. A lot of the cables have a circuit board in them now for various functions.
Wb a lightning cable video like this? Btw, made me tear up a lil bit with all the data and effort you put out there. Where im from i really need to know this, being in the mid 20s struggling economics, stuff. Thanks again pal, and uh, if you see this around copypasted in another place, its because, yeah, i really want it to be read by ya! i mean it all, proper thanks
There is a round three with some lightning cables. th-cam.com/video/VD5yhULVJdo/w-d-xo.html I hopefully will get round 4 out soon. Thanks a lot for sharing, very much appreciated.
@@AllThingsOnePlace I saw a ton of videos from them lately after watching a few from your Chanell, so will be interesting to see if titan power plus is legit or a skam. I never knew cables and Chargers were so important till watching your videos, thanks for the knowledge!!!!
Have you tested the 10 foot version of the Uni cable? That has been my choice of cable for a few years now given the great price-to-performance. I'd be curious how it ranks up against the Anker and if it is as good as the 6 foot version.
I don’t have a specific recommendation for any devices. Generally any device will work if it’s usb c, it’ll work faster if it has PPS for Samsung devices.
Good morning, What cables do you recommend for providing "passthrough" power to a docking station (details below)? Your recommendation from Uni was not available. This one, also from Uni, "appears" to be its replacement [Uni, 100w USB C-C, 6.6']. I was about to purchase it but read the following on Amazons product page: "Connnecting to docking station is not recommended." Yikes! Why would Uni not recommend powering docking stations with this cable? The setup incudes the docking station noted which has (4) usb ports and an SSD slot. The total expected power draw for all devices, including the slot and docking station, is from 20-35watts. A 65w laptop may, at times, be plugged into the docking station/ or directly to the charger . The cable sought will run from a Baseus 100W desktop charger to a USB-C PD 3.0 charge port on the docking station (rated at 100watts). Charging phones is the lesser need. The more important priority is to provide passthrough power from the Baseus unit to the docking station via a quality cable. What do you think, is there a reason why the Uni cable cannot be used to deliver passthrough power to docking stations? If so, what other cable(s) would you recommend? Thank-you for considering my query. jo
Hmm, not sure. Maybe they are worried about it's data abilities in the docking station environment, because it is USB 2 capable only? Maybe not considering the power side of the docking station and not the data side? That's a pure guess though. In terms of your analysis it seems pretty complete and it sounds like it should work fine. The allthings website has tons of cables listed so check that out. I've been using the zeexus cable for years now, it's data and power and pretty good for both. Of course it is also unavailable.
@@AllThingsOnePlace Thanks! I'm curious about the Monoprice USB-C to Lightning 1.5 ft cable if you get to it. They're the only major brand that makes it in 1.5 ft now. I think all the 1.5 ft you've previously tested are C-C.
@@AllThingsOnePlace wow thank you , gonna be ordering one of the 100 watt gallium nitride chargers you’ve tested , was looking to choose between them , thank you for your work/ efforts!
At this point, I have been through at least 10 cable brands, including Anker. I am sick and tired of USB C cables failing every few months because the end (tip) became faulty. By the end, they only hold charge if I angle the end a certain way. I don't understand why this happens.... Because I have this cable plugged into a wall at home, so it's not like I am tossing around. Do you have a possible explanation for why this happens? Is it just me??
I have yet to have a single one break. I do not treat them well for the most part. I do maybe have better cable etiquette than most though, always grab the connector not the wire, avoid sharp angles or use right angle if needed, use a cable that is long enough, then for my travel brick, I never take the cables out of the brick, wrap the whole thing up in a ball and off I go. I don't think you are alone though, the USB C connector is tiny and frail.
@AllThingsOnePlace Thank you for your advise. I will say, cables that have a built in LED display for wattage seem to fail much more frequently, as well as regular cheap braided cables from alphabet seller brands on amazon.
I would expect it to perform at an acceptable level, on par with the other 2m ugreen USB C-C cables. Being 100W capable they generally have to make the the wire good enough to perform at a reasonable level.
Yeah, I kind of made one to compare to for this video but it doesn’t have things like the e-marker chip and other connections to do smart power delivery. Could be fun to go through the whole process though. Thanks for the suggestion.
Very much appreciated! I am afraid that those cables that turned out badly will be continued to be sold under completely different name soon. Those brands really don't seem to last long.
Yeah, I have a video on the dark side of power adapters in the works. Taking a bit of time this one. It's like a game of whack-a-mole.
Thanks, I used your amazon link!
Love the uni cable, I've been using their hub and the short cable the hub came with fixed my 100W problem so this video was just more confidence!

Hello, I was wondering what you thought about titan pd cables, was thinking about grabbing some in the future, thank you. Liked and subscribed.
I will have to check them out. Round 4 of USB cables is probably out in December timeframe.
@@AllThingsOnePlace I saw a ton of videos from them lately after watching a few from your Chanell, so will be interesting to see if titan power plus is legit or a skam. I never knew cables and Chargers were so important till watching your videos, thanks for the knowledge!!!!
I'm looking forward to those allthingsoneplace branded cables hitting the market. They look like great value!
haha, with no negotiation, data, or cc lines. I mean they move some power, but it's not a usb cable. It's just a demonstration device.
3:15 did you have to retest the Volutz cable? Im seeing the CEQ-USB-C-100GOP on there twice (#31 & 45)
I didn’t, it is there twice because Amazon sent me the wrong one and I had two at that point so I tested both.
Love my Iniu 100w cable. It's by far the best built cable I've encountered.
Yeah, I use the longer ones all the time, no issues.
Smaller the cables higher the resistance (I'm assuming you are talking about length of the cable)? I think it's the other way around
Smaller the gauge, which is actually the higher number. 20 gauge is smaller diameter than 16. I needed to state units.
@@AllThingsOnePlace ah okay
Have you tested the 10 foot version of the Uni cable? That has been my choice of cable for a few years now given the great price-to-performance. I'd be curious how it ranks up against the Anker and if it is as good as the 6 foot version.
I haven't done that one yet but I added it to the list.
Can you review the UGreen USB C to C dual right angle cable? Thought it was neat.
I have one of those, not sure if it is the UGREEN one but yeah, I was curious how it handles different voltages on each port.
thank you very much for these videos!
Thank You!
Great video. Do you happen to have a fastest wireless charger video? I have a Galaxy s22.

Thanks great video I just ordered the uni 6' ft was going for the other one the satechi but it was $10 more
Yeah, the UNI cables are good value and nearly the same performance wise.
Do you have a spreadsheet (excel etc) version of this list, so it is possible to sort? I can only find a pdf version?
I don't have the spreadsheet shared. You can select all, copy, and paste it into your own sheet though from the website.
Nice vid mate. What a legend .
I need to make another one at some point.
@@AllThingsOnePlace one of my favorite topics
Did you do any comparisons on USB C to Lightning cables?
Part 3: th-cam.com/video/VD5yhULVJdo/w-d-xo.html more to come in part 4

@@AllThingsOnePlace Also curious about more cables with built in power meters. It seems they're all the same but just rebranded?
one potential video idea is checking out usb c charging cables with detachable ends, like the nimaso.
Yeah, that's a good idea. I just saw one of those and was like that's solid round three of insanity material.
Could you check the resistance of the nomad cable?
I’ll get it on the list. I already have round 3 tested so it’ll have to be round 4.

@@AllThingsOnePlace thanks.i bought one from aliexpress few days ago.
I want to buy an "AllThingsOnePlace" cable!!!!
Haha. Right? The one I made is actually terrible since it only has power and power so won’t negotiate anything usb wise.
He said the shorter the cable the more resistance???
Smaller the wire *gauge* not smaller as in shorter. Cramming too much into those videos.
Can you include some apple USB cables in part 3?
Yep. Have a bunch of them will be in that one (it’s like 100 cables more or thing). A lot of older cables though too for an idea of progress.
Hey mate. You should make a video on making your own usb c cable.
Yeah, I kind of made one to compare to for this video but it doesn’t have things like the e-marker chip and other connections to do smart power delivery. Could be fun to go through the whole process though. Thanks for the suggestion.
