The Plugable USBC-VAMETER is a pocket-sized USB-C power meter that lets you see exactly what's happening with your charging and data connections. About the size of a USB flash drive, this inline tester measures voltage and amperage, displays power direction, and passes through data—all in real time. It's an essential tool for diagnosing charging issues, testing cables, and understanding your device's power consumption.
Plugable USBC-VAMETER: Real-Time USB-C Power Monitoring
Connect the USBC-VAMETER between a USB-C charger and a laptop, tablet, or phone, and you'll get a live readout of voltage, current, and calculated wattage. The built-in display is easy to read, and the bidirectional capability means you can test on either side of a cable.
Full USB Data Passthrough
Unlike some meters that block data, the USBC-VAMETER passes USB 2.0 data signals through, so you can monitor power while transferring files or using a wired connection. This makes it perfect for troubleshooting a hub or dock that seems to deliver power but not data.
Detect Power Direction
The meter visually indicates the direction of current flow, so you can quickly see if your charger is actually supplying power or if your device is back-feeding. This is invaluable when checking USB-C cables that may be faulty or non-compliant.
Rugged, Compact Design
The meter's sturdy construction can handle the wear and tear of daily use. Its tiny footprint means you can leave it plugged into a power bank or permanently in your tech kit without adding bulk.
Compatibility
The USBC-VAMETER works with any USB-C device or charger, including laptops, phones, tablets, and power banks. It supports USB Power Delivery up to 20V, though it does not measure EPR (Extended Power Range) beyond 20V.
