A user needs a single cable to charge their new high-performance laptop, which requires 90W of power, and also connect it to a docking station. Which of the following connection types would meet these requirements?
USB-C connectors, when paired with the USB Power Delivery (USB-PD) specification, are designed to handle significant power, up to 100W (and even up to 240W with the PD 3.1 revision). This capability allows a single USB-C cable to charge power-hungry devices like laptops. Older standards like microUSB and miniUSB have much lower power limits, typically under 10W, making them unsuitable for this task. The Lightning connector is a proprietary Apple standard and does not natively support the open USB-PD standard at this power level.
