I have been using the same cable Toocki 100w for 5-6 months. Its working great. Seem to be constructed well and works better than advertised and all for usually $5+ shipped to the US.. nope you can't beat that price.

@nosafetyswitch9378 Год назад

I have pulled 90W through one of those cables, mine came with decimal point for anything below 10w. Bright off of amazon. I regularly use it to power my work laptop and it works like a charm at 20V 4+A.

@simosagimain Год назад

It's definitely an interesting cable. Seeing as the wattmeter was well-built, it would be perhaps worth to measure also how well it carries the current. Julian should have enough meters of its own to measure either the voltage drop along the cable under a decent load or perhaps even a USB-C cable ohm-meter.

@BRUXXUS Год назад

I’m actually impressed with the construction on that thing!

@carlos2004 Год назад

i really like these cables. i have 2 usbc-usbc and 2 uscA-usbc, they're great to diagnose any power delivery issues. i have the usb meters which provide way more information but sometimes (rarely at that) they'll mess with the connection and not allow the device to pull the full power. whenever that happens, i can use this cable and see how much it's actually supposed to pull. not only that, but they are convenient since there is no extra dongle or anything, everything is packaged right into a normal cable.

@followthetrawler Год назад

I have 2 of these cables - well I had 2 - one let out the magic smoke when charging my MacBook at 60W. I dont use the other one now because I have no trust in it. Sound in the new setup is much better.

@SinKillerJ Год назад

Thank you for the well timed video. I follow a channel that posts random AliExpress product clips, and recently it showed one of these. Must say I found it quite intriguing given the small size.

@typxxilps Год назад

I will get one too just to have the ability to measure the consumption cause now I am moving full to USB Type C more or less except some items that are only sold with Micro USB for charging.

Julian, I left this comment as a reply to someone else but I want to make sure you see this. Please go back to the audio setup you had a few weeks ago (before you started experimenting with changing it) - it was so much cleaner and made your voice sound bright and energetic as well. It will make a big difference to your content :)

15:28 well, that's how those 7 segment displays work. This one appears to use SMD LEDs, but I have seen, many many years ago, some 30 years ago or close to it, some that have the dies directly on board, with that plastic cover/light guide covering them.

Grab some clear heat shrink and keep using it! If the circuit board held up to that kind of wrangling, it'll still have service life left.

Hello, sorry I would like to know more about this but didn't quite understand what you meant here if you could elaborate 😅? Thanks!

@McTroyd 3 месяца назад

@@someonelsy It's possible to buy rubberized material which shrinks when heat is applied. (Hence, "heat shrink".) If Julian used some clear heat shrink in place of the old housing, he could slide that over the circuit board, and seal it up. It would then be relatively safe to keep using the cable.

@flagpoleeip Год назад

I want to see how thick the wires are!!

@gd.ritter Год назад

The outer sheath is a zinc alloy (not aluminum). And it supports USB 2.0 data transfer speeds (480Mbps). They also have a USB-A to C version that will do up to 66w fast charging. I've had mine a few months since I saw it on a GreatScott! Video. Another benefit is you can see when something is done charging on the display. Leave my ipad or laptop plugged in and when I see the watt display hit zero I know it's fully charged without needing to wake it up or turn it on.

@DPortain Год назад

What charging standard supports higher voltages over USB A?

@gd.ritter Год назад

@@DPortain quick charge from several brands support different voltages/wattages if you have a compatible device and charger over "standard" USB-A. Samsung, Qualcomm, etc can swap to 9v or 12v and higher output after a negotiation over the data pins. It's like a proprietary extension of the USB-A standard and I'd say it's basically a prototype of how USB-C PD works.

@typxxilps Год назад

ATTENTION: the seller has increased the shipping at least here from free to 2€ or so Might be the result of increasing demand and most recently they have let the price stay the same but added shipping which many might overlook once they had seen such offer / presentation on yt. I had been astonished at the check out about the prices they want to ship 3 cables to germany and it is far too much cause UK is even further away and even VAT is higher. Sad but true , will have to get one later , but I will put it on my tech to buy list.

@DreStyle Год назад

If you want higher quality sound you can use a powered mic and connect it via the USB Fun fact is that the phone CAN power devices So you can use a DAC and connect a mic trough that! Or even speakers I used a ZOOM Q2N 4K and set it to mic mode That way I have gain able X/Y mics with a serious amount of sound quality!!

0:56 that powerbank is suspiciously like the one on my shelf. pretty solid powerbank that's lasted me nearly three years to this point, hopefully longer! A little trick with hte RAVPower powerbanks is the PD reversal is rapid press 3-5x. i've done this a lot when charging my smaller 10,000mAh PD capable powerbank.

@richardhalliday6469 Год назад

I bought one of these cables amongst a few others from this seller. They are good quality and decent gauge conductors, I keep buying the half a metre length versions (it's an illness I think) of fast charge cables at around £1 including shipping. You can't buy a UK stamp for that. Once Apple have switched to Usb C there will be a price rise you see. If you look further in the listing for the 100w with display you will see a picture of the display PCB cutaway, save you the trouble of carving it up. Half a metre is quite long enough for me as a charging cable , less resistance too

@ncbwztcw Год назад

Strange - I can't find a 0.5 metre version of this anywhere. Would you have a link/url by any chance?

@pn8902 Год назад

I use that ravpower powerbank with my TS100 at work, just perfect. It has to be the ravpower one, my Anker one doesn't deliver the 12V only 9V. However when I connect my Anker powerbank to a USB C PD module (those small blue ones) it provides 12V which is strange. Must be something to do with different protocols or the USB PD specifications.

@jtb2586 Год назад

What i'm wondering how tick are the actual wires? they tent to be very thin and not save for the 100watts or even worse aluminium wires

@DreStyle Год назад

That's a serious issue and maybe even a fire hazard I think I've once burned a cable when running it on 100 Watts, normally the cables won't allow so much current trough because both devices measure resistance, not always apparently But I want to advice to watch out Or even skip the fast charge overnight

@nightshadelenar Год назад

@@DreStyle a lot of mobile devices (phones, tablets, ect) from 2018 and newer sense resistance indeed. this does mean that if the resistance is high enough, it will choose a lower power level than the device and source can handle. this cable though, i'd rate for a max of 60 watts continuous, or 80 watts for a max of 2 hours. meaning, a wide range of devices can still use the cable since the average charge is around 14-16 watts, aka normal Fast Charging.

@erlendse Год назад

They only need to carry 5A, the voltage is 20V (or 48V for 240W).

@theoneohmresistor Год назад

i dont think they measure resistance, because the cables have or dont have an emarker chip which basically says, yes, you can use me at 5A instead of the usual 3A.

@nightshadelenar Год назад

USB 2.0 has no shielding requirements unlike 3.1 5Gbps or even the higher revisions. so it makes sense why it is buttons compared to a similar cable with USB 3.1 5GB support.

You overpaid for the usb-cable. You can get them with the 3 for 6$ sale [in the app]. which is the exact same store [The digitaling store, is owned and operated by aliexpress themselves] This way I have gotten many Type-C to C cables that support 100W for DIRT cheap.
