Q: Is this cable safe to use with lower-wattage devices?

A: Yes, this cable is backwards compatible with low wattage devices and will work with all USB-C Power Delivery charging levels.

Q: Why is a charging-only cable considered more secure?

A: This charging cable has the USB data lines physically blocked, which helps prevent data transfer and potential data theft or malware attacks.

Q: Can I use this cable with any USB-C charger?

A: You can use this cable with any USB-C charger, but to achieve the full 240W charging speed, you must pair it with a USB PD 3.1 compliant EPR-capable charger. Using it with lower-spec chargers will still work but at reduced charging speeds.

Q: Can this cable transfer data?

A: No. This is a true charge-only cable. It physically omits all USB data lines, preventing any data transfer for enhanced security against juice jacking and other threats.

Q: What devices can I charge with this cable?

A: Supports any USB-C device with PD charging, including laptops like MacBook Pro/Air, Dell XPS, Lenovo ThinkPad, plus tablets, smartphones, gaming devices, and USB-C accessories.

What is USB-C Power Delivery R3.1 Extended Power Range (EPR)?

The new USB Power Delivery specifications allow for the delivery of up to 240W via a USB Type-C cable (an increase from the previous 100W max). The previous Power Delivery range has been relabeled as Standard Power Range (SPR), and the new specifications (between 100W and 240W), have been labeled as Extended Power Range (EPR).

What is an E-Marker and why do they matter for power delivery?

An E-marker is a tiny embedded chip in USB cables that signals the cable's charging capabilities to connected devices. This chip is vital for USB-C cables, to negotiate the handling of high charging rates.

E-markers are for ensuring proper charging rates between the cable and the device, particularly for features like USB Power Delivery and are essential for fluctuating power demands by devices.

Understanding how adaptive/optimized charging methods have an impact on your smartphone's battery life, performance, and longevity.

Open Article in New Tab

With most modern smartphones you may have likely noticed a notification message while charging your phone indicating that your phone has entered "Optimized Battery Charging", this is how Apple refers to its smart charging messaging. With Android devices they will also show this notification message while charging although they refer to it "Adaptive Charging". Through these intelligent charging methods your phone will artificially reduce its charging speeds so that in the long run it will lengthen its overall battery life.

When setting up a new smart phone it may take a few weeks of machine learning to recognize your usage behavior and charging habits. Batteries go through wear and tear to which the more charge cycles it goes through the less healthier the overall battery becomes leading to it holding a lesser charge and other issues.

Your phone will alert you with a notification when it enters into a battery preserving charging state. At night you may notice your phone charging significantly slower along with a message saying “Battery full by 7:00 AM”. Even though it has the ability to fully charge in a much shorter time. If you set an alarm for an even earlier time your phone can adjust to finish charging at your alarm time. This is your phone prolonging the time it takes to charge to 100% in order to preserve battery health.

The reason why your phone will artificially slow its charging rate is to spend less time at 100% battery, and the less time your phone spends at 100% the more it helps with your overall battery health.

It is possible to disable Optimized/Adaptive Charging in your device's battery and charging settings although it is ideal for the majority of users to leave this setting enabled.

Can I connect this product to a computer's Thunderbolt/Thunderbolt 2 port?

Open Article in New Tab

Many users assume that USB-C devices can work with older Thunderbolt 2 Macs if they use a Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter, such as the one made by Apple. However, this is not the case. These adapters are specifically designed to support Thunderbolt devices only - not standard USB-C peripherals.

While Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C share the same connector type, they use different underlying data protocols. Non-Thunderbolt USB-C devices, rely on USB standards for data and power. The Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter does not carry USB signals; it only passes Thunderbolt data. Because of this, plugging a USB-C device into a Thunderbolt 2 Mac using this adapter will not work - the computer will not detect or communicate with the device.

If you need to connect peripherals to a Thunderbolt 2 system, we recommend using a USB-A dock or hub (if available on your system). This ensures compatibility without relying on unsupported adapter chains.

In short, even though the connectors may fit, USB-C devices are not compatible with Thunderbolt 2 Macs via Thunderbolt adapters - only Thunderbolt devices will work in that setup.

What is the maximum length cable that can be used to connect a Plugable USB-C docking station to the host computer?

Open Article in New Tab

All Plugable USB-C docking stations include the appropriate USB-C cable in order to connect the docking station to the host computer. As of this writing, all Plugable USB-C host cables that are included with Plugable USB-C docking stations are 1.0 meter (approximately 3.3) feet in overall length.

For reference, the specifications of all Plugable brand USB-C cables are printed on a small white cable flag attached to the cable itself.

If the original 1.0 meter long USB-C host cable is not sufficient for a specific use case, longer cables of up to 2.0 meters (approximately 6.6 feet) in overall length can be purchased separately from a 3rd-party.

We recommend purchasing a cable that matches or exceeds the specifications of the original Plugable cable and purchasing said cable from both a well known and reliable brand.

Plugable does offer a 1.0 meter long USB-C extension cable (USBC-METER3-1MF) that can be used in conjunction with our USB-C docking stations. This extension cable can be combined with the original 1.0 meter long Plugable USB-C cable included in the box with the docking station to extend the overall cable length to 2.0 meters.

Plugable does NOT support using USB-C host connection cables that are over 2.0 meters in overall length with any Plugable brand product. Additionally, Plugable does NOT support the use of any type of 3rd-party USB-C extension cable or signal repeater in conjunction with our products.
