Treedix USB Cable Tester Board USB Cable Checker Data Wire with Acrylic Case Charging Test Data Line Type-C Micro Type A Type B

You can use one of these to test out the USB cable: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CF95VL2Y?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_18 They are pretty useful overall, especially when you have some USB C cables that you don't know if they are power only or power+data.

Bare minimum is a continuity tester https://www.amazon.com/Treedix-Tester-Checker-Acrylic-Charging/dp/B0CF95VL2Y A step up is a continuity tester with resistance measurement https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Y8BPVV4/ And in addition to that is a quality emarker reader https://www.amazon.com/ChargerLAB-KM003C-Portable-Charging-Voltmeter/dp/B0BJ24PVNJ You can find cheaper stuff, but this is what I use and recommend.

It's totally a pain in the ass to sort them but 100% worth it. If you want to be a psycho like me you should get a USB tester like this so you can sort your USB cords by "power only" and "power and data" (or whatever terminology you prefer).
