Treedix USB Cable Tester Board USB Cable Checker Data Wire with Acrylic Case, Type-C / Type-A / Type-B / Micro / Lightning (STRX5-0575)
A compact LED cable tester board that checks continuity and function of Type-C, USB-A, Micro-B, Mini-B and Lightning cables, with 24 pin LEDs and an acrylic protective case.
Why people pick it
One board tests nearly every legacy and modern USB connector plus Lightning, per the maker's page
Per-pin LEDs make it obvious which wires a cable actually has, so charging-only cables are spotted at a glance
Two power options — the supplied CR2032 cell or Type-C 5 V — let it run standalone or from a port (manual)
Acrylic case protects the board in a toolbox (maker's page)
Know before you buy
LED-only output: no screen, no resistance or eMarker readout, unlike the maker's STRX5-0816-AC tester
A review on the maker's own page notes that a short between two wires can light the same LEDs as a healthy data cable, so the board alone cannot localize shorts
The manual warns not to connect it to a live device — it is for unpowered cable checking only
The maker publishes no electrical ratings or measurement accuracy for the board
Full specifications

What it shows
Number of wire cores and transmission performance, from which pin readings you can tell charging-only from data cables, per the maker's page
Short-circuit check
Detects internal short circuits that interfere with normal operation (maker's page); the manual warns that shorted pins, diodes or active electronics can give inaccurate results
