The cord anchorage was described in excruciating detail in BS EN 61058-2-1:1993. It seems this standard has been withdrawn (so saving £208). I think newer versions are available. I refuse to read it for anyone though.

I've never seen the point of that budget. If I reach it, am I suppose to turn off the CU master switch? What a horrifying concept!

As one of the authors of the PD Specification, I would be interested to see a picture of this box. I can assure you that a cable that states that it will convey less than 60W (at 20V of course) does not meet its specification, and should not be considered for purchase. Because they are...

All USB Type-C Cables are at least 3A and at least 20V so by your definition 60W, so the man was not an idiot There is no such thing. As above.

No, the Type-C plug is rated at 5A. It also contains a capacitor rated at either 20V or 50V.

You said you bought a 45W cable. What can that possibly mean? Using your method of describing Type-C cables, the only possibilities would be 60W, 100W or 240W. So any cable could transfer 60W. Even one without a cable marker chip.

So what kind of cable could possibly be described as 45W? Selling a cable as 60W to someone with only a 5V supply would be fraud.

Well; a Type-C cable can be - 3A at up to 20V - 5A at up to 20V, or - 5A at up to 50V They don't come by the Wattage as they don't know what voltage you are going to use.

There's me thinking it was an MCB!

And remember to drill a 5mm hole in the bottom.

This is factually incorrect. Also the system is still backwards compatible to low speed USB so I don't see how it is different in concept. As said, it has developed as required by users and vendors, and it still performs its original goal. It it hadn't developed in line with people's...

Thing is, CUs do not trip. Some device inside them does. People need to know what is written on that device.

Well actually, member companies in the USB-IF collectively stated their desire to make the standard more useful by allowing charging. The USB-IF responded first of all by developing the Battery Charging standard, later BC1.2, and also an ECN which allowing some exceptions to the power draw limit...

I doubt you will find a phone with a Type-A or Type-B receptacle

A male to male USB cable is not permitted by the USB Specification, and is a good way to destroy your electrical equipment. (Referring only to type-A and type B of course) Probably more accurate to say a type-A to type-A (male or female at each end) or a type-B to type-B (male or female at each...

1. It will be fine 2. It is almost certainly not a ring but a radial 3. https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/AA45DCOP.html

So the guess was incorrect, and the manufacturer was not lying after all.

So you are just guessing too. The only person who can tell us for sure is Eric who can look at the output on a scope, but I suppose that won't happen either.

They claim it is modulated dc - do you have other information?
