Description
Product Overview
The Plugable USBC‑VAMETER3 is a compact, corded electric USB‑C power tester that doubles as a multimeter. Housed in a sturdy black enclosure measuring just 3 × 3 × 1 inches and weighing only 0.64 oz, it delivers accurate voltage (5‑48 V) and current (50 mA‑6.5 A) readings up to 240 W. An updated OLED screen provides clear, real‑time visualization of power flow, while the bidirectional design lets you connect in either orientation. Certified to CE, ETL, and NIST standards, this device meets professional reliability requirements.
Usage
Designed for engineers, makers, and everyday tech users, the tester excels in a variety of scenarios: verifying charger output, troubleshooting docking stations, confirming USB‑C cable performance, and measuring power delivery on laptops, tablets, and smartphones. Its low profile fits comfortably on a desk or workbench, and the reinforced USB‑C connector endures frequent plug‑in cycles.
