USB-C 2.1 standard supports charging power up to 240W

A new specification for the USB-C 2.1 cable and connector has officially appeared. The current strength remained unchanged - 5 Amperes. But the voltage has increased significantly to 48 volts. As a result, we get as much as 240 watts of effective power.

 

What is the advantage of the USB-C 2.1 standard

 

The main advantage of the innovation is that it will not affect consumers and equipment manufacturers in any way. It's still the same USB-C version 2.0. The differences will only affect the cable itself and the wiring on the connectors. That is, the interchangeability of the two types of cables is guaranteed.

The increased charging power provides a number of benefits to users. Firstly, mobile equipment will charge many times faster. Secondly, the increased voltage will not affect the longevity of the battery. This fact is given special attention by gadget manufacturers. The difference will most likely only affect the price of the cable and power supply to him.

 

Of course, we must not forget that the manufacturer is responsible for the correct and safe operation of the smartphone when charging at high power. Definitely, you need to buy certified chargers from trusted brands.
