What is caberQU?
caberQU is an Austrian startup focussing on cable testers, USB-C readout and embedded electronics development.
BLE caberQU
The BLE cable tester by caberQU can test USB-C to USB-C cables for functionality, charging power, data speed, cable health and many more. It is the next step in the evolution of testing cables.
If you work with USB-C devices and want to keep them healthy by keeping your cables healthy, you might want to invest in the BLE caberQU cable tester.

Why do you need it?
Did you know that broken cables can harm your phone? And did you know that a lot of cables get damaged over time? But how can you know if your cable is broken? Get the BLE cable tester and test your USB-C to USB-C cables!
The BLE caberQU cable tester is super handy, quick and easy to read. Its digital display gives you the most important information on a glance: three dials show the maximum data transmission speed, the maximum power and the exact percentage of your cable health.
How to use it
Plug it in with any USB-C cable. The screen will light up and show you how to plug in the cable you want to test. Now you can view data speed, charging speed and cable health all on just one glance.
With a few clicks on the buttons you can quickly navigate this device and display all its functions.
What does it show?
Screen 1 shows you an overview of your cable. Three dials show the maximum data transmission speed, the maximum power and the overall cable health.
Screen 2 goes into specifications. To be able to know if a certain use-case is supported, this column lists all cable features. USB1.1 to USB4, voltages from 5V to 48V and currents 0.5A to 5A as well as the complete connector pinout.
On screen 3 you can view the details. It shows raw information: each connected pin, the Vbus resistance and eMarker infos as well as the BLE caberQU hardware and software versions.
AppsC2C, A2C and HDMI caberQU
The amount of possible cable combinations is endless. If you use the wrong cable, data transmission may be slower than possible or certain devices may not work at all. In the USB C standard, the cable plays an important role and has to advertise itself as such. All of them need to have certain pins connected, some need to be grounded, some need to have resistors attached.
What makes it special?
Unfortunately there is no easy way to extract whether a certain cable can support a certain use case. If a cable has a broken pin, that makes it even worse, due to their unpredictable behavior. The caberQU cable testers solve this once and for all by measuring continuity on all available connector pins. You have to extract the needed pins for your desired usage on your own, unfortunately that can not be done universally for all possible combinations.

About Peter
I'm Peter Traunmüller, a practically minded electronics engineer with a bunch of ideas for many interesting implementations. There have been various projects I've been developing in the past 10+ years, which you can find on websites like github, reddit, EEVBlog and other forums. My know-how spans from analog circuit engineering and embedded systems programming, over PCB layouting, to manufacturing and testing of all kinds of hardware/software, mechanics and certifications. I also consider C the superior language ;)
About Bianca
My name is Bianca and I'm here for all the non-technical aspects of our operation. I have a big interest in visuals, organization and the nitty-gritty of practically getting things to you. Packaging, layout, shipment and other design elements are my specialty and I think every photo is an important representation of the solutions we offer.
