Drawer full of USB cables? This gadget helped me find the ones that work
"For this job, the right tool is the Treedix multifunction USB cable tester . This pocket-sized gadget can tell you everything you need to know about a cable (probably more than you need to), and do it quickly and reliably. The USB cable tester is a small box measuring 2.9 x 2.5 x 0.5 inches and features an array of ports. There are USB-C and USB-A output ports and corresponding USB-C, Lightning, miniUSB, and microUSB 2.0 and microUSB 3.0 input ports to testing cables."
"Yes, it has a display, a 2.4-inch IPS color screen, which is where the action happens, giving you a deep dive into the cable that's connected to the tester. The unit can handle a multitude of tests, from basic functions showing whether the cable can handle data and power transmission, along with that protocols, a printout of active lines in the cable, a resistance test, and an eMarker chip test (you scroll through the function using the function button)."
