Free Mac app WhatCable tells you what each of your USB-C cables can really do

A new free Mac app called WhatCable aims to solve the confusion surrounding USB-C cables, which often look identical but have varying capabilities. This app acts as a hardware cable tester, allowing users to determine the specific functions of each cable, such as data transfer speeds and power delivery. While Apple hasn’t yet adopted a built-in solution like Chrome OS, this app offers a practical workaround, ensuring users get the most out of their expensive cables. It’s a handy tool for anyone who relies heavily on USB-C connections for both data and charging needs.
