The new specification for the USB-C 2.1 cable and connector has officially been introduced. The current strength remains unchanged at 5 Amperes. However, the voltage has significantly increased to 48 Volts. As a result, we get an impressive 240 Watts of effective power.
What are the advantages of the USB-C 2.1 standard
The main benefit of this innovation is that it will not affect consumers or device manufacturers. It is still the same USB-C as in version 2.0. The differences only concern the cable itself and the wiring of the connectors. That is, compatibility between the two types of cables is guaranteed.
The increase in charging power offers several benefits to users. Firstly, mobile devices will charge much faster. Secondly, the higher 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 the power block for it.
Of course, it is important to remember that the manufacturer is responsible for the safety and proper functioning of the smartphone during high-power charging. It is definitely necessary to buy certified chargers from trusted brands.
