What is the maximum power support for the type-C data cable you have used? At the beginning of the year, the USB Association issued the 2.1 version of the USB Type-C data cable, charger standard, the most important update is to greatly increase the maximum voltage supported from 20V to 48V, while the current is 5A, so the maximum power reaches 240W.
Extreme operating voltages can even be as high as 50.9V, so the withstand voltage value of the VBUS capacitor built into the data line needs to be higher than 50.9V, which is different from the previous 100W standard.
After more than half a year of preparation, on December 14, the USB Association finally officially opened the 240W EPR Type-C data cable certification, of which the EPR stands for "Extended Power Range" (extended power supply range).
At the same time, the original 20V/5A 100W USB Type-C data cable will stop certification after December 22.
It is worth mentioning that the certified 240W (EPR) USB Type-C data cable will have a special logo, of which the color is used for packaging and listing labels, and the black one is used for the external film printing of the data cable for easy identification by consumers.
