I have several usb-c devices:
My Samsung Galaxy phone
My camera battery charger
My rechargeable head torch
My portable battery/device charger
I would like: One cable to rule them all, one cable to find them, One cable to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them; In the Land of my travel shit where the shadows lie.
What wattage, version, output, recommendations can you give me.
Currently I have 5 cables, but I should really only need one.
Thanks in advance
That is almost correct. All USB-C cables may be used with older protocols, but newer iterations of cables are actually tagged (“E-Markers”) to tell the devices what the ratings of the cable actually are. I think this is primarily for data transfer reasons, but it is important that the cables can support high currents as well.

The USB spec is fucking confusing. There are so many types and they also re-branded some of the versions recently. I can’t follow that shit anymore.
