In this episode, I’ll explain the USB-C charging system and tell listeners the differences between the cables and why not all USB-C ports or cables are equal; why one USB-C cable is not likely not like another; and what you should know.

It’s now become time, especially here in the past year, where to keep track which cable belongs to what device if you want a device to work or work optimally. Also, you need to know what your device USB-C port’s capabilities. We have some fixes for the interim and there is some promise of improvements in the future.
