There are no fast charging USB C to A cables?
- seba_dos1 4y agoDefine "fast charging". The best you can get via USB BC1.2 is 1.5A at 5V. This doesn't rely on anything special in the cable aside of requiring it to be able to carry USB 1.0/2.0 data, since it's signaled over D-/D+ pins. You can get more than that, but then you're entering a proprietary mess territory where all bets are off.
- crooked-v 4y agoUSB C->A by the standards maxes out at 5V and 2.4A.
- kreetx 4y agoAh, thanks! Was confused by the OnePlus' "Dash chargers" which don't go by the standard and do more.
- izacus 4y agoUSB-A port doesn't have extra pins required for USB-PD fast charging.
- heeen2 4y agoMaybe not by USB standards, yet plenty of chargers have no problem using other protocols to negotiate e.g. 9V charging. My Pixel 6 Pro for example negotiates 9V charging from USB-A ports that support it.
