Grumpy rant #783
tom66:
Perhaps the standard will require 48VDC cables/devices to have 'staggered' comms pins, and the load peripheral can be designed to detect cable removal before it is actually removed from the conductors, turning off the SMPS near instantly. The TikTok challenge then comes, can you pull a cable out fast enough to get an arc and ruin your device/cable in record time...

I have a usb socket on one outlet and I got rather annoyed as I couldn't find one that supports fast charging ports, they all seemed to be just the standard usb port that cant power much other that the fruit based products.
It's only there for the oldies to charge thier phones and watches as there was too many usb chargers floating about making a mess in the kitchen.
SiliconWizard:
Beware, the standard may mandate to have our own implanted USB-C port at one point or another. I mean, it's USB-C. I'm not disclosing the location. It's gonna save the planet, or something. Maybe we should have a "USB-C day", to celebrate.
Connecteur:
By the time we get to USB 5 or 6, there might be a variant with a larger plug. Not everything needs to fit in a smartphone.
Nothing so monstrous as the UK plug; something like the US 2-prong plug in size would be good.
mendip_discovery:
Future versions of USB will gradually morph into the IEEC (kettle) lead we are all accustomed to. Then some clever sod will invent a new cable for communicating and powering small items.
