The problem is specific to cables with the older USB-A connector on one end and the new USB-C connector on another. (USB-A, if you didn't know, is the traditional USB plug we've all been using for years.) But, USB-C devices (and cables) support faster charging than USB-A. So, for example, if you plug a USB-A device (like a cell phone) into a USB-C port using one of these cables, the phone may draw too much power, frying your phone, USB-C port, or even computer. |
