Description
Test and verify USB-C power connections with this compact bi-directional USB-C Power Tester

This bi-directional USB-C Power Tester is a practical tool to accurately monitor voltage, current, and wattage in any USB-C power scenario. It is ideal for technicians and IT pros for immediate, clear test readings anywhere. Use this tester to monitor and maintain reliable performance in power-sensitive setups.

Compact Form Factor

The USB-C Digital Power Tester is compact and suitable for testing mounted USB-C devices or hard-to-reach device ports. Its portable design makes it a lightweight and essential additional to any IT Pro's toolkit.

Streamline Power Diagnostics

This USB-C tester can quickly diagnose power issues with docking stations, hubs, chargers, and connected devices. The digital display provides real-time measurements and rotates 180 degrees with the press of a button, ensuring clear visibility when testing power flow from any direction. Verify if USB-C cables are transferring power efficiently and ensure compliance for devices that require high power output.

Versatile USB-C Compatibility

Supporting USB data pass-through up to 10Gbps and DP Alt Mode video, this Digital USB-C Multimeter accommodates a wide range of USB-C cables and devices. It measures power across a broad operating range of 4.5V to 50V and 50mA to 6.5A, while ensuring compatibility with USB Power Delivery 3.1 Extended Power Range (EPR) up to 240W. Note: Thunderbolt 3 devices are not supported.

The StarTech.com Advantage
For a multimeter, the Plugable USB-C Amperage and Voltage Tester (USBC-VAMETER) manages to fit a lot of useful features into a sturdy little package. About the size of a USB flash drive, this bidirectional USB tester allows for full USB data passthrough while it monitors USB-C power and charging, measures voltage and amperage, even visualizes the directional flow of electrical current–all in real time.

Connect the VAMETER inline between a USB-C host system like a laptop, tablet, or cell phone and a charger to use it as a USB voltage meter or power consumption meter. An updated OLED screen means a brighter and easier-to-read display in any lighting conditions, and a new orientation button lets you flip the screen with a click.

How it works:
This meter is a transparent interposer–it should not interfere with the USB data (1.1 through 3.1 Gen 2), USB-C Alternate Mode video, or USB-C charging. The meter can be used in-line with USB-C docking stations, chargers, and other USB-C accessories. The meter is able to achieve this without interfering with normal USB-C operation as it only taps into the power (VBUS) and ground connections to measure values and leaves the data lines untouched.

Common uses:
- Connecting between a USB-C host system like a laptop, tablet, or cell phone and a charger to monitor charge information.
- Connecting between a USB-C host and docking station to monitor charge information.
- Connecting between a USB-C host system and a USB-C bus powered accessory like an external hard drive, flash drive, etc to measure power draw of a device.
- Testing for USB-C port spec compliance such as a VBUS hot condition, voltage drop under load, etc.
