In an attempt to make the USB standards easier for consumers to navigate, the USB-IF has unveiled the new logos for Certified USB Type-C Cables supporting 60W or 240W of power based on the new USB Power Delivery (USB PD) 3.1 Specification.
The USB PD 3.1 specification include a couple of key changes:
"With the new higher power capabilities enabled by the USB PD 3.1 Specification, which unlocks up to 240W over a USB Type-C cable and connector, USB-IF saw an opportunity to further strengthen and simplify its Certified Logo Program for the end user," said Jeff Ravencraft, USB-IF President and COO. "With our updated logos, consumers can easily identify the USB4 performance and USB Power Delivery capabilities of Certified USB-C Cables, which support an ever-expanding ecosystem of consumer electronics from laptops and smartphones to displays and chargers."
