We will be taking a look cables, a charger, and power station provided to me by a company called MFish. I'll primarily be focusing on their USB cables, but obviously, the power source you use to drive these cables is just as important. I have links to everything at the bottom of this article.  Collaboration disclaimer: I give companies terms before I allow them to send me products.

The Power Source: MFish Etank 240 Power Station This is the MFish Etank power station. It is capable of doing 240 watts maximum over 4 USB-C ports combined.  The Etank Power Station from Mfish. The first port is capable of a 140 watts maximum output. I don't have anything remotely that much power draw, but I'd...

Today I'm taking a look at these Ainope 6.6 foot USB 3.0 extension cables that come in a two-pack. I've got a few different devices handy to see how well they perform for both power delivery and data transfer. The Ainope USB 3.0 Extension Cable packaging. Opening it up, the first thing I noticed is that each cable comes neatly organized with a hook and loop strap, which is always handy for cable management. The cable itself is braided, which usually adds durability, and it has gold-plated (or at least yellow colored) connectors on both the male and female ends. Holding the braided Ainope USB extension cable. There's also some decent stress relief where the cable meets the connector housing. This looks pretty robust and should help prevent damage over time. The cable has a bit of stiffness; it doesn't just flop down limply, and it holds its shape somewhat if you bend it, which can be useful sometimes.

Today I'm taking a look at the ACEELE USB 3 USB-C Hub. The main benefit that caught my eye is that it has individual switches for each port. So, if you want to use a specific device plugged into it, you just toggle the switch for that port, and you're good to go. This saves on power and disables things like cameras connected to it when you don't want to use them. Before that I was manually plugging and unplugging devices when I do live streaming.  Pressing the individual power switches on the ACEELE USB Hub. It feels decent in the hand; it doesn't feel super cheap or anything. It also comes with a hook-and-loop tie on the cable, which is handy for cable management. Holding the ACEELE hub and showing the attached cable with its tie. This device has a 3.3 ft cable length. In my case, this isn't ideal. I really wish it was quite a bit longer. For setting things up, 3.3 feet isn't always enough, especially if your computer is any distance away and you want the hub c...
