An improvement in the USB-C standard will mean that from now on these cables will be able to transmit up to 240 watts of power, more than double the current capacity, a leap that will allow powering extremely demanding electronic devices, such as gaming laptops or monitors.
This new feature has been announced with version 2.1 of the USB-C standard, which manufacturers will be able to start implementing from now on.
Of course, this is an improvement that will have to be accompanied by new hardware, as the old USB connectors will have a maximum power of 100W and will not be able to support higher amounts.
The widespread adoption of the USB-C connector and the expansion of its capacity will mean that these bulky adapters used to power demanding devices such as laptops or peripherals such as monitors or printers will no longer be necessary.
