Excellent video showing the feature sets, captabilities, or lack there of, on these USB cables. Its IMO, that the new USB C standard, is indeed far superior, over that of previous standards for sure. Where there's smoke, there's fire, and that cable really had the hots for you! I am sad to hear that not many watched your very inventive DIY speaker build. As you know, I watched it, enjoyed it, and I even answered your question correctly! Hopefully people will pay more attention to your next build!
It's all fun. I enjoyed making the speaker project. The cable on fire was also fun. There was a giant fan just off camera pulling the smoke away. I went extra careful with my safety gear on that one...cardboard plate under the on fire cable, which I absolutely knew would catch fire, haha.
Thank you for testing them out! I decided to buy the Satechi 6.6ft cables, and I am impressed with their overall look, feel and performance on fast charging 2.0 for my s23 Ultra!
Another fantastic video! Thank you. if you do an other cable it would be nice to see a test of usb PD 3.1 chargers and cables. Both apple and Anker have these types of chargers.
@@AllThingsOnePlace Wonderful, I suspect that most PD 3.1 devices will have great power factor correction and low harmonic distortion. Your findings will provide the definitive answer.

That usb c to 5.5 barrel cable is very usefull once you have the multiple dc adapter kit + a very capable charging brick that youve previously reviewed. Thou can get confusing and a little bit risky if youre not carefull with polarity. Some adapters comes at the same size but different polarity. Also handy with powerbank with high PD rates.
I remember getting a cheap gas station USB-A to lightning cable years ago that never even worked, must not have had the real MFI chip it in. I try to just use Apple, Anker or other legit cables. Thanks for the video!
Thanks! Yeah, I was unsure about monetized links to products at first but it is important to aid in channel growth. I'm waiting for the day I can post a product video an have it NOT lose me substantial money, haha. Long way from that.
@@AllThingsOnePlace good reviewers deserve the link rewards because they help viewers decide which product is worth the money. Maybe you can contact Anker and the others who score well in your reviews and see if they will send you free products to review? Just keep the review honest to maintain credibility. There's an experienced motorcycle reviewer in Britain, where I am, and he cleverly and honestly gives reviews which aren't too critical. He's honest, accurate, but if something isn't so wonderful he doesn't go on and on about it. I think that lets the viewer make up their minds without annoying the manufacturers. He's Michael Neeves at MCN, Motorcycle News. It's a long time motorcycle newspaper you can buy in the shops in the UK which is now online and on TH-cam. Is a very professional tester and he gets sent motorcycles, jackets, and they take them around the world on motorcycle launches. But the viewers still trust them because he's honest without being brutal. Just something for you to maybe look at if you're going to become a well supplied reviewer. And they might let you keep stuff if you'll put it in the background, can be seen using it, etc. I like your style, honesty and thoroughness. I wish you every success.

He has this learnt skill of being honest about the limits of the product but also praising it in a realistic way. Just thought it might be useful for you.
Nice videos annd you got a subscriber here. Gonna take a look at your content to learn and understand more. Just a little doubt: I was taking a look in your USB Cable comparison list and I'm curious if you doing it like a leaderboard. Would choose Anker over Satechi for daily use? The thing is: I want to buy some cables for daily use (charging my phone and smartwatch).
Yes, it needs some work. Someone in the comments posted an option but I haven't got to looking at it yet. In terms of which one, for phones and watches, you can probably get away with any moderate resistance option.
I need to learn how I can measure this 'hinged' connector on the one that I did not read the description for. I cannot see how these types or the magnetic changeable tip even work at all.
The magnetic connectors aren't great. But basically they use pogo pins (spring loaded contacts) on one side and metal interface on the other with the magnet to force the two to stay together.
Thanks for the great video. I see that Ugreen is selling both 60W and 100W C-C cables in the 10ft length. Will the 100W cable be noticeably thicker/stiffer?
@@AllThingsOnePlacecan you test cable matter and cable creations as well? I think there are a few more. Also some more 10 foot ones would be lovely since 10 foot cords are great.
I don't have those round magnetic swappable tip cables, I more rectangular-y ones, but am I being an idiot by using and loving them? I really like having just a single cable at work, or a couple of cables at home. I have with tips in my headsets (USB-C, micro), AirPods (lightning), mice (USB-C, micro), QI chargers (USB-C), keyboard (lightning), and camera battery chargers (USB-C, micro).
I tested the more square ones too. I don’t remember how they did. But adding an extra connector will always create a little more power loss, it’s negligible for low power devices. It seems like everything you listed is probably okay. The cheap round ones I had I wouldn’t use.
They kind of tried to force that in Japan, but instead they get to bury it in the user manual, which then has to be included. It would be nice though, list a functional product spec on the box. But we live in a world where efficiency and efficacy get constantly mixed up and people have no idea what these numbers mean.
One more... Sorry. If Im getting you, Satetchi would be your go to brand for type-c to type-c? Any in particular? I found the one you're using but it doesn't do data. They make a 30" that's almost identical except its USB$ as well (and $10 more). Would you buy that? I just got a GaN and all my old cables are type-a so I am replacing them all. The type-c to lightning I have seem to work.. albeit slowly. I am stuck on C to C though.. I keep thinking ill just buy Thunderbolt Cables to be safe.. but the ends on those are massive and not super practical charging some AirPods and iPhones and a MacBook, Thank you sir!
In general the data plus power cables are only really great at one of those things. Also the data cables tend to be very inflexible. I like to use charging only cables since they are more easy to work with. Yes, the satechi cables get a lot of use by me.
I ask myself a question a lot that I'll bet you do to.. "How many of these negative charging brick reviews are people using some cheap 5 year old cable and not realizing THAT is the issue, not the charger the just review bombed." So, thank you for doing these.
Very helpful. I use the volta magnetic tip cables but they are quite premium. Good to know if there's issues with something what to grab in an emergency. Probably satechi or ugreen.
Hey! I saw that you make great tests and I wondered could you try DeOxit tests? Does it really lower the resistance and does all the other claims (Improves Conductivity, Protects, Reduces Arcing & RFI, Reduces Wear & Abrasion) held true? I have tried myself the red and gold versions (as 100% solutions), and I noticed that they clean oxidation and other gunk (similarly to 99% IPA), lubricate the connections, but I'm not sure are they really good for the electric connections and do they lower resistance by improving contact, nor do I have the equipment to test them out.
Yeah, I use deoxit on older equipment. It does help revive old potentiometers and contacts that are tarnished in some way. On a new device or cable it's not going to do anything but yeah on older connections it can improve conductivity. If a connector is worn out, it isn't going to fix the connector.
Can you include what, exactly, the e-Markers report for the EPR cables? The spec suggests they might report a variety of combinations of voltage and current capabilities. That seems to matter a lot for powering laptops, example. I have yet to see anyone confirm what the e-Markers on actual cables report though.
I started doing that in some of the newer videos with the EPR cables. I have a short on how one cable is fake. But yeah for round 4 of this I will be showing that.
Hey, was wondering if you're interested or have plans to test out Thunderbolt 3/4 cables? Every manufacturer seems to sell at least TB3, but just like what we've all seen on Amazon some brands can be hit or miss.
Yeah, I was kind of hoping LTT would cover that since they have a full data-rate tester ($20k minimum!), I don't have anything that can measure at those speeds and its all about data integrity with a Thunderbolt cable. I have a few Thunderbolt three cables in my list that got tested for the power efficiency. They didn't do terrible but when comparing thunderbolt to non-thunderbolt. The thunderbolt options are worse at charging to make room for those other data wires in general.
As much as I want long cables so, when I connect to an external monitor, it is reachable. But, shorter is the most efficient. My question is in the Satechi USB4 to USB C cable will the size also matter or when we talk about the thunderbolt capabilities the difference is not there?. Sorry if it is a stupid question.
So, this video is focused on charging. If you aren't doing power transfer and data is the concern, then getting the best data-capable cable is important. The non-active style cables do tend to be shorter though. I mostly use the Zeexus cable from the first comparison video for data transfers since it works at full speed. I don't have a test jig to do the data transfer testing. I want to get into that though. It's about $20k to get into that side of things, minimum. It goes up very quickly from there.
It depends on the mode the phone asks for. In general an iPhone should be good with any 60W or less cable. Samsung likes 100W cables for fast charging. The 240W cables are the same current rating as 100W cables but they offer the ability to support higher voltages for future devices mostly.
Hi. Thank you for all your great content. I just tested the Satechi 6.6ft 100w c-c cable and am getting 15% voltage/power drop at 5a. This must be out of spec surely, asking for 100w and receiving just 85. Looking at your results it says your power loss is 3.13 @ 5A. Is that 3.13w per foot or do we have vastly different results?
I have a bunch of usb a to lightning cables which lightning side has some pins burn out but the cables are in good shape. Can i covert them to usb a to usb-c cables by replacing the lightning side?
Have you tried or check magnetic cables? Could they work for multi quick charge like one wire for different output without removing the inserted part on the device?
I was just checking out the web site. I don't see anything listed for 240W EPR cables. Only up to 100W. Did I miss something? It seems as if many sellers on Amazon are listing 100W as 240W, slow USB 2.0 data speed cables as 3.1 speed. Some of the e-mark chips are looking fake. It's getting to be as messy out there as flashlight lumen claims :(
Yeah, I haven’t tested any of them yet so that’s why they aren’t on the web. Round 4 of cables isn’t done yet but will have a lot of these PD 3.1 EPR cables.
is the Satechi 108w charger better than the 100w Baseus charger? Satechi is a bit expensive but I wont mind as long as the performance justifies the price difference, thanks
It's mostly based around requests, but monoprice did get requested after posting the round 3 video so for round 4 they will be in. Any other companies you want to see?
I wonder how usb c fiberoptic cables would compare. I use one for my VR headset for its incredible data transfer speed. Ps this is a great channel and I'll be sure to check out the speaker video 😊.
Many of the fiberoptic cables don't carry power. Are there some that specifically do carry power? I guess for a VR setup that would make sense. I wonder how much power they would carry, I assume only 5V since connecting to a game system or PC. Eh, can skip the speaker video, not the best content, very few views on that one, I expected that. I need to get on the next USB cables round though.
@@AllThingsOnePlace according to a quick search the Oculus/Quest Link Cable supports PD 2.0 (5v from the motherboard 9v from the GPU). Considering it allegedly only draws 8w under full load the cable keeps the headset charged while I'm using it. Hell for $80 it'd better.
Theoretically, claiming to be USB-IF certified implies a maximum voltage drop of 0.5V on VBus and 0.25V on ground. Similarly, mfi certification should imply voltage drop is kept below a certain level, although it is not clear what that level is. One site claimed that 3m lightning cables used 18awg wire among other things to ensure quality. By the way, anything higher than 150 mOhm resistance on a 100W cable violates the USB-C specification, since the total Vdrop would exceed the combined Vdrop for VBus + ground. Many of the USB-C 100W cables you tested are not in compliance with the usb-c specification. If it is not a 100W cable, then anything above 247.5 ohms would be out of spec. Technically, a cable can be out of spec and still within those numbers due to the ground requiring tighter tolerances than VBus.
do you happen to have any cable recommendations given what you seem to know? i find myself in a situation needing some 3m cables, but the resistance numbers are less than ideal for those given the length i suppose
10 foot is fine, it is just a little more lossy (I mean a little more, like still pretty good but measurably worse) versus a shorter cable. The UGREEN and UNI 10 foot cables aren't bad.
Round 4 is going to be a long way away but going to have to cover a lot of things. As you can see I started labeling the cables. For some reason the one that caught on fire is missing.
If you ever do a review of USB A to C cables please try these three too: 1. OnePlus SUPERVOOC Type-A to Type-C 2. Realme Game Cable (SuperDart) 3. Aohi modular cables thank you ive binge watched half of ur vids!

Resistance will cause slower charging as the power the adapter can supply gets lost along the way. With good cables, it's a 1 or 2%, with medium cables 3-5%, with bad cables, fire is the limit.

@@AllThingsOnePlace I can see model. Could I search name, such as 4 in 1?
Bu büyük bir beceri.
Olağan üstü bir iş çıkarmışsın.
Ayakta alkışlıyorum.💕
Thank You!
Nice vid mate
Would be interesting to see some Lindy cables next time. They're supposed to be one of the best in the business.
Okay, thanks for the suggestion.
Enjoy your excellent reviews but why does your cable test make no mention or include Monoprice a large supplier of well priced cables ?
It's mostly based around requests, but monoprice did get requested after posting the round 3 video so for round 4 they will be in. Any other companies you want to see?
@@AllThingsOnePlace No thanks, not at this time.
I wonder how usb c fiberoptic cables would compare. I use one for my VR headset for its incredible data transfer speed. Ps this is a great channel and I'll be sure to check out the speaker video 😊.
Many of the fiberoptic cables don't carry power. Are there some that specifically do carry power? I guess for a VR setup that would make sense. I wonder how much power they would carry, I assume only 5V since connecting to a game system or PC. Eh, can skip the speaker video, not the best content, very few views on that one, I expected that. I need to get on the next USB cables round though.
@@AllThingsOnePlace according to a quick search the Oculus/Quest Link Cable supports PD 2.0 (5v from the motherboard 9v from the GPU). Considering it allegedly only draws 8w under full load the cable keeps the headset charged while I'm using it. Hell for $80 it'd better.
Theoretically, claiming to be USB-IF certified implies a maximum voltage drop of 0.5V on VBus and 0.25V on ground. Similarly, mfi certification should imply voltage drop is kept below a certain level, although it is not clear what that level is. One site claimed that 3m lightning cables used 18awg wire among other things to ensure quality.
By the way, anything higher than 150 mOhm resistance on a 100W cable violates the USB-C specification, since the total Vdrop would exceed the combined Vdrop for VBus + ground. Many of the USB-C 100W cables you tested are not in compliance with the usb-c specification. If it is not a 100W cable, then anything above 247.5 ohms would be out of spec.
Technically, a cable can be out of spec and still within those numbers due to the ground requiring tighter tolerances than VBus.
Yeah, it essentially forces cables to be shorter. I don't check if the cables are certified for USB-IF. Just present the numbers.
do you happen to have any cable recommendations given what you seem to know? i find myself in a situation needing some 3m cables, but the resistance numbers are less than ideal for those given the length i suppose
Have you done Numojo?
No.
So are 10ft cables a no go?
10 foot is fine, it is just a little more lossy (I mean a little more, like still pretty good but measurably worse) versus a shorter cable. The UGREEN and UNI 10 foot cables aren't bad.
can you test ikea charging cables? they are suspiciously cheap and I question their legitimacy
I think I have tested at least one or two that came with some Ikea power adapters. No idea if they made it into the list of USB cables or not.
@@AllThingsOnePlaceI believe they are all 3A cables @usb2.0 speeds. They have c-c, a-c, a-lighting, and c-lighting
Thank you again
Yep, as always, thanks for watching.
Great stuff thanks
Round 4 is going to be a long way away but going to have to cover a lot of things. As you can see I started labeling the cables. For some reason the one that caught on fire is missing.
Wonder how an AudioQuest cable would perform.
Haha, yeah. Not unless they are free will I be checking those.
I have sent you an email, can you confirm?
I got several emails, if it is from your channel name, then no.
If you ever do a review of USB A to C cables please try these three too:
1. OnePlus SUPERVOOC Type-A to Type-C
2. Realme Game Cable (SuperDart)
3. Aohi modular cables
thank you ive binge watched half of ur vids!
Thanks, yeah, that is one of my goals.
Hi like what you doing on your channel it helpful and useful in buying product specially belly come to charges and charging cable because they are not that many channels what do review charges and charging cables that many time and specialising techniquely I am not come across the channel what does specialising for charge and charging cable it would be helpful and useful if you can help me out and others who have a similar mine and identical mind in way of thinking and Desire and likes and slides list in 3 in 1 cable baseus cable with 100 words capability for a testing out video and how does the cable work also in the same video would be greatly appreciated if you do make that video helpful and useful like I mentioned anyway and anyhow will be in touch whenever back again
Thanks for watching.
if you're charging from a battery bank, does resistance play a ball on how much recharge from your limited juice supply?
Resistance will cause slower charging as the power the adapter can supply gets lost along the way. With good cables, it's a 1 or 2%, with medium cables 3-5%, with bad cables, fire is the limit.
