USB4 EPR 240W, the new trend in the cable industry
2022.07.04
USB4 EPR Cables are here, and CTi has everything you need to know and everything you need.
As EU has confirmed Type C as the sole connector for all smartphone chargers by 2024, and with more and more devices adopting Type C receptacles, the Type C connector is cementing its status in the connector market.
Recently USB-IF released the specification for EPR (Enhanced Power Range) and SPR (Standard Power Range). USB4 EPR cables can support up to 240 watts of power, while SPR cables can support 60 watts. You may ask, what about 100W cables? The answer is that USB-IF has cancelled 100W cable certification services, meaning that future USB4 cables will only be categorized into EPR and SPR cables, but 100W cables already certified can still use their originally obtained USB-IF logos in the future.
