USB-C Power Meter Tester for Monitoring USB-C Connections

At Plugable, we design products for productivity, knowing that work can happen anywhere–at a desk, on the road, in an office, and more often than ever, at home. Every Plugable product–from dongle to docking station–is designed and tested by our team in Redmond, Washington to work anywhere you work.

Product Description: The Plugable USB-C Amperage and Voltage Tester (USBC-VAMETER) is a compact, bidirectional USB tester that allows for full USB data passthrough while monitoring USB-C power and charging, and measuring voltage and amperage in real time. The OLED screen provides a bright and easy-to-read display in any lighting conditions, and an orientation button lets you flip the screen with a click.

How it works: The meter is a transparent interposer that does not interfere with USB data (1.1 through 3.1 Gen 2), USB-C Alternate Mode video, or USB-C charging. It can be used in-line with USB-C docking stations, chargers, and other USB-C accessories without interfering with normal USB-C operation.

Common uses: - Monitoring charge information between a USB-C host system and a charger - Monitoring charge information between a USB-C host and docking station - Measuring power draw of a USB-C bus powered accessory - Testing for USB-C port spec compliance

Important notes: The meter is not meant to replace professional USB-C test equipment and is not compatible with Intel Thunderbolt 3 devices.

Specifications: - Bidirectional and can be connected in any direction - Supports 4-22V, 50mA-6.5A operating range - Does not support USB-PD R3.1 Extended Power Range (28V, 36V, and 48V) - Supports all USB data (1.1 through 3.1 Gen 2)

In the box: One USBC-VAMETER is included. Please note that the meter will not power on without a connected device at both ends.
