You can pump 100 watts through a 60W rated cable - it will probably work because the rule is "users are dumbasses, rate it for 60 on paper and 120 in reality".
Or it could heat up, maybe to the point of damage.
- liuhenry 10y agoIt's a whole 60W A/C adapter package, not just the cable. The adapter isn't pumping out more wattage than it's rated for.
- lowboy 10y agoIt doesn't look like it. All of the pictures show just a cable, and the description has > In the box: BreakSafe USB-C cable with quick disconnect magnetic connector
- seanmcdirmid 10y agoYes, just because you charge up a computer with a 60W A/C adapter but it can take 87W, doesn't mean the A/C adapter is all of a sudden putting out 87W. The cable itself doesn't create more or less flow.
- jsjohnst 10y agoYou guys really should spend a few moments doing a quick google search before responding. USB doesn't just magically deliver power, its negotiated between the device and the power source. In the case of USB-C, the cable is involved in the negotiation. See slides 7&9 here specifically: http://www.usb.org/developers/powerdelivery/PD_1.0_Introduction.pdf http://www.usb.org/developers/powerdelivery/PD_1.0_Introduct...
