If you're like me, you have dozens of USB-A and USB-C cables. There are all of various quality, but I have no idea the history of each one. A lot of them came with other products and are total unknown quantity anyway.

Is there a tool to quickly test how good each cable is? Either a software or a hardware tool. Ideally it'd be nice to see something that can measure the power as well. Some charging cables are capable of fast charging, and some are not.

I think there's a misunderstanding.

Time to full usually refers to charging speed.

The post is asking about data transfer speeds.

would weed out the super shitty ones maybe. but yeah, not accurate for data transfer.

Oh, yeah, sorry.
