In this episode of DIY or Buy, we will have a closer look at modern USB-C Cables. Now I do love the USB-C technology! You can quickly transfer data, charge with upto 240W and use it for video and audio. USB-C cables on the other hand are sometimes a nightmare. They are not labelled meaning you have no idea whether it can even transfer data or what kind of power (60W? 100W? 240?) So I will test all the USB-C Cables I have lying around and will also come up with a superior DIY version. Let's get started!
