AUKEY USB Type-C cable has digital display showing real-time power up to 100W
Yes, you can see whether your smartphone usage charging at a glance on a small display. China based Aukey introduced the CB-CC13 USB Type-C to Type-C cable, which can display real-time power figures.
You can verify the power supply status of connected devices without using a USB checker since it has a power value display function on a digital display. It is a USB compatible cable with USB PD power supply capability and a maximum data transfer rate of 480 Mbps though. You can tell whether it is USB PD fast charging or slow charging by looking at the power display on the display. The cable is approximately 1m long (including the connector) and weighs around 38g. The connector is composed of zinc alloy, and the cable is braided nylon, making it extremely sturdy.
It's not expensive either, with a price of just under 15 USD/EUR.

At that price, I'm sure it doesn't actually work.

this is a great idea - but it's early days and needs improvement
i'm sure it does work otherwise that transfer rate would be far higher.
many of the commenters don't use PD on USB C. if they did they would understand and/or love this.
my issue however is the fact the transfer rate is abysmal - especially if you're charging a laptop. one would have to have a separate USB C for file transfers/syncing...making just as much of a mess as a power cord.
but it is a very handy troubleshooting tool.
as for price, watt meters and tiny B&W lcds are dirt cheap so the pricing isn't unusual

I have some of their products, it's actually not bad. I can even say that they're quite good.

It also comically catches on fire when 100 watts is reached as a handy visual indicator.
