#USB Cable Standards

We have tons of them -- the mini-USB, the micro-USB, serial cable, the SE, Samsung and LG proprietary ports, the iPhone, the HTC ports and so many more. I also have another cable from my Google Nexus One, which is basically just a rebranded HTC handset, but that one uses a micro-USB. Japanese peripherals manufacturer Elecom has become the first company to have their USB4 2.0 cables certified. This year, Elecom has made two types of USB Type-C cables that have stood out. These include a USB4 2.0 cable with 80Gbps transfer speed and 60W of power delivery. The other cable is also USB4 2.0 with the same transfer speed, but it offers 240W of power delivery.

This would entail that Apple could in fact limit the USB-C port's functionality and speeds when using uncertified, third-party accessories and charging cables.
