USB-C is fantastic. As the one-connector-to-rule-them-all, it\u2019s the closest thing to a universal connector tech has seen, able to power everything from earbuds, to phones, to laptops. But despite its increasing ubiquitousness, there are limits to its utility. USB-C Power Delivery has been capp<\/a>ed at 100W for a while now, for instance; while that\u2019s enough for most devices, some powerful laptops are still forced to use traditional power connectors that can handle higher wattages.<\/p>\n

Now that concession may soon be a thing of the past. As reported by Android Central<\/a>, the latest revision<\/a> to the USB-C cable and connector specification \u2014 revision 2.1 \u2014 will allow USB-C cables to transmit as much as a whopping 240W of power.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s enough for all but the most obscene laptops. The 15-inch MacBook Pro pushed the old standard to the limit at 96W, for example. Razer\u2019s 17-inch Blade laptop with an Nvidia RTX 3080 comes with a 230W charger.<\/p>\n

Heck, 240W is more power than most high-end e-bike chargers offer as well.<\/p>\n

Granted, I\u2019ve seen Dell squeeze 130 W<\/a> through existing USB-C protocols, but the new standard will clearly make these high-power chargers a lot more common.<\/p>\n

As noted by Android Central, the advent of the new revision means that there will soon be new USB-C cables on the market that are labeled \u2018Extended Power Range,\u2019 replacing the old top-notch \u2018Standard Power Range.\u2019 These cables should theoretically be safer too, so you might want to think twice before buying a new high-power USB-C cable until the new EPR cables show up later this year or early 2022.<\/p>\n

All this is good news<\/a> for those of us who have been dreaming of being able to use one charger for all sorts of devices. Since USB-C arrived, I can\u2019t count how many times I\u2019ve used a laptop charger to charge my phone \u2014 and sometimes even used a phone charger to power a laptop. Who knows, maybe by 2030 we\u2019ll be able to charge our electric cars with USB-C too.<\/p>\n
