The cable is the part of the chain that decides whether 100W ever reaches the device, and it is the part with the least printed on it.<\/p>\n<h2>100W is 5 amps, and 5 amps needs a chip<\/h2>\n<p>USB-C Power Delivery reaches 100W in one specific way: 20 volts at 5 amps. Every other combination in the standard tops out lower, and 5A is the number that matters, because a standard USB-C cable is only rated to carry 3A \u2014 about 60W. Above that, the cable must contain an E-Marker chip: a tiny IC in the connector that tells the charger &#8220;this cable can take 5 amps, go ahead&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>No E-Marker, no 100W, regardless of what the charger can do. This is why a 100W charger with a 60W cable behaves exactly like a 60W charger, and why &#8220;it works with my laptop&#8221; is not evidence of anything \u2014 a laptop will charge at whatever it is given.<\/p>\n<p>The second variable is heat. Five amps through a thin conductor is resistive loss, and loss is heat at the connector. Short, thick, certified cables run cooler; long thin ones get warm at the plug, which is the physical reason cheap high-watt cables fail at the ends rather than in the middle.<\/p>\n<table style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:14px;margin:18px 0 10px;\">\n<thead>\n<tr style=\"background:#f9fafb;\">\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:10px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb;\">&nbsp;<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:10px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb;\">Anker 100W USB-C<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:10px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb;\">UGREEN 100W USB-C<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:10px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb;\">Baseus 100W USB-C<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:10px;border-bottom:1px solid #f1f2f4;\">Rated power<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:10px;border-bottom:1px solid #f1f2f4;\">100 W<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:10px;border-bottom:1px solid #f1f2f4;\">100 W<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:10px;border-bottom:1px solid #f1f2f4;\">100 W<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:10px;border-bottom:1px solid #f1f2f4;\">Current at 20 V<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:10px;border-bottom:1px solid #f1f2f4;\">5 A<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:10px;border-bottom:1px solid #f1f2f4;\">5 A<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:10px;border-bottom:1px solid #f1f2f4;\">5 A<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:10px;border-bottom:1px solid #f1f2f4;\">E-Marker chip<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:10px;border-bottom:1px solid #f1f2f4;\">Required and present for 5A<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:10px;border-bottom:1px solid #f1f2f4;\">Required and present for 5A<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:10px;border-bottom:1px solid #f1f2f4;\">Required and present for 5A<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:10px;border-bottom:1px solid #f1f2f4;\">Data speed<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:10px;border-bottom:1px solid #f1f2f4;\">USB 2.0 on most charging cables<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:10px;border-bottom:1px solid #f1f2f4;\">USB 2.0 on most charging cables<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:10px;border-bottom:1px solid #f1f2f4;\">USB 2.0 on most charging cables<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:10px;border-bottom:1px solid #f1f2f4;\">Length options<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:10px;border-bottom:1px solid #f1f2f4;\">Multiple<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:10px;border-bottom:1px solid #f1f2f4;\">Multiple<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:10px;border-bottom:1px solid #f1f2f4;\">Multiple<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:10px;border-bottom:1px solid #f1f2f4;\">Price<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:10px;border-bottom:1px solid #f1f2f4;\">See button<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:10px;border-bottom:1px solid #f1f2f4;\">See button<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:10px;border-bottom:1px solid #f1f2f4;\">See button<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>All three of these are rated for the same electrical job, so the differences that matter are mechanical: how the strain relief is built, how the braid survives being coiled around a bag, and whether the length you need is available at 5A rather than only at 3A.<\/p>\n<h2>1.
