在「USB Type-C Specification 2.1 allows up to 240W Extended Power Range (EPR)」這邊看到這個規格:
Extended Power Range cables have additional requirements to assure that these cables can deliver the full defined voltage and current range for USB PD EPR operation. EPR cables shall functionally support a reported 50 V and 5 A o peration. The minimum functional voltage that a cable shall support is 53.65 V. The electrical components potentially in the path of V BUS in an EPR cable, e.g. bypass capacitors, should be minimally rated for 63 V.
All EPR cables shall be Electronically Marked and include EPR-specific information in the eMarker as defined by the USB PD specification. As defined in the USB PD specification, EPR cables are marked as 50 V and 5 A capable. All EPR cables shall be visibly identified with EPR cable identification icons as defined by the USB-IF. This is required so that end users will be able to confirm visually that the cable supports up to as high of PDP = 240W as defined in the USB PD specification.
也是基於 E-Marker 晶片的關係,除了充電頭支援外,線本身也得支援。這解決了目前很多家桌機都自己搞 >100W 的 dock 來支援高瓦數的充電,推出一個標準來涵蓋收斂...
會不會搞到以後連桌機都可以用 USB-C 界面供電啊...
