Product Features
Technical Overview
This cable implements the USB Power Delivery 3.1 specification with Extended Power Range (EPR), supporting up to 240W at 48V and 5A. It is backward compatible with previous PD standards, including 140W, 100W, and 60W profiles, ensuring broad compatibility with existing USB-C chargers and devices. An integrated E-marker chip communicates the cable's capabilities to the connected power source and device, enabling safe, negotiated power delivery and is USB-IF certified for guaranteed interoperability.
The electrical design uses 30 AWG wiring optimized for power delivery within the USB 2.0 data framework. The connectors are standard 24-pin USB Type-C male on both ends, with nickel plating for corrosion resistance and reliable mating. The cable does not support DisplayPort Alt Mode for video transmission, focusing its design purely on high-wattage charging and USB 2.0 data functions.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum power this USB-C cable can deliver?
This cable supports USB Power Delivery 3.1 with Extended Power Range (EPR), delivering up to 240 watts at 48 volts and 5 amps. This high wattage is designed to charge power-intensive devices like large-screen professional laptops and mobile workstations at their full capability, even under heavy computational load.
Is this cable backward compatible with older USB Power Delivery chargers?
Yes, it is fully backward compatible with previous USB PD standards. It will work seamlessly with chargers supporting 140W, 100W, and 60W Power Delivery profiles. The cable's E-marker chip communicates its capabilities to the power source, ensuring safe operation at the highest mutually supported power level.
Does this cable support video output (like DisplayPort or HDMI over USB-C)?
No, this cable does not support DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode) for video transmission. It is specifically engineered for high-power charging and USB 2.0 data transfer. For video output, a separate USB-C cable that explicitly supports DP Alt Mode or Thunderbolt would be required.
What makes the construction of this cable 'rugged' or durable?
The cable features a dual-layer jacket: a flexible silicone inner layer that prevents kinking and a tough braided nylon exterior that resists abrasion, snags, and cuts. It is designed to withstand frequent bends of up to +/-90 degrees, and the nickel-plated connectors are rated for over 20,000 insertion cycles, making it significantly more durable than standard plastic-jacketed cables.
What does 'USB-IF certified' mean for this cable?
USB-IF (USB Implementers Forum) certification means the cable has passed rigorous testing to ensure it fully complies with USB specifications, including Power Delivery 3.1. The integrated E-marker chip correctly communicates the cable's 240W/5A capabilities to connected devices. This certification guarantees interoperability, safe power negotiation, and reliable performance with other certified USB-C hosts and chargers.
What devices is this charging cable compatible with?
It is compatible with any USB-C device that supports USB Power Delivery for charging. This includes modern notebooks (like the 16-inch Apple MacBook Pro with M-series chips), mobile workstations, tablets, smartphones, USB-C power banks, wall chargers, car chargers, and peripheral hubs. It also supports USB 2.0 data transfer for syncing files with compatible devices.
What refresh rate or brightness details are available?
Display-oriented products are best judged through screen, connectivity, and installation specifications. Those facts help buyers confirm visual fit, mounting flexibility, and deployment suitability more clearly than generic summary text.
What input or connectivity options are listed?
Connectivity options include USB 2.0 Type C - Male, helping the product integrate into common office or home setups.
