Plugable USBC-VAMETER3 Pass-Through USB-C VA Meter for High Power Devices

At a Glance
USB C Tester monitors USB-C power and charging up to 240W. Measure voltage and amperage. Visualize the directional flow of electrical current. Updated OLED display is brighter and easier to read. New orientation button lets you flip the screen 180 degrees

Bidirectional
USB power meter can be connected in either orientation allowing for the full range of USB Extended Power Range (EPR) voltage from 5 to 48V (4.5V-50V 50mA-6.5A operating range)

Broad USB Support
Used as a data and power quality meter device allows USB data pass through USB-C Alt Mode video USB-C charging. Use USB-C tester with USB-C docking stations chargers accessories etc. Not compatible with Thunderbolt 3 devices

Small and Tough
Small enough to go anywhere you need a USB C voltage meter. Even fits most phones and tablets without removing protective case. Strengthened USB-C connections ensure it's sturdy enough to be your go-to USB C power tester.

For a multimeter the Plugable USB-C Amperage and Voltage Tester (USBC-VAMETER3) 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 USBC-VAMETER3 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.

Important Notes
This meter is not meant to replace professional USB-C test equipment it is designed for quick/easy measurements for users of any skill level.
Not compatible with Intel Thunderbolt 3 devices.
