There are superior versions of this that include every physical USB port (A, B, C, Micro, Mini, and even lightning) so that you can test any cable instead of just type C to type C.

Here’s the one I use: treedix.com/…/treedix-usb-cable-tester-board-usb-…
The exposed pads are also fantastic to break out data lines for measurement when performing electronics repairs.

That’s awesome.
Have you ever seen it with a real case, not just the acrylic “cover”? I’d like to be able to hand it to someone and not worry about the guts. Yea, I could print something, but frankly I can’t be arsed, lol.

Mine didn’t come with a case, it’s a very simple circuit so not much concern of ESD causing a problem.
It basically just runs power through every pin on the cable to illuminate corresponding LEDs.
