I'm getting a USB-C cable for my USB-c compatible monitor, to use with a laptop.
I noticed that there are Club 3D USB 4 cables sold that are:
- 8K60Hz, Data 40Gbps, PD 240W(48V/5A)
- 8K60Hz, Data 40Gbps, PD 100W
For some reason the second one is one Euro more expensive. I don't really need 240W with this setup, 100W is already much more than the monitor can supply, but why is the 240W cheaper?
And are there dangers with Extended power range? As I understood after a quick search the new technology puts more pressure on the cable... bigger risk of catching fire? Or same risk as normal PD 100W cable (if broken)?
