[–] etchinghillside@reddthat.com 30 points 9 months ago (3 children) Alright - why? We know power and data can go over a single one. It can’t be for more power - one should(?) be sufficient for whatever I’m looking at.

Thunderbolt also uses Power Delivery and the latest version allows for a 48V @ 5A profile, that would be 240W. Even previous versions allow for 24V @ 5V (120W). As for the cable length I wouldn't really know, probably it's possible up to a meter, if the cable is well shielded, the power doesn't change much because the current os always rather low, it's the voltage that increases. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 18 child comments load more comments (18 replies) [–] Valmond@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago (1 child) I don't know what it is really but I'd guess yo plug 2 things?
