The charging device identifies a charging port by non-data signaling on the D+ and D− terminals. A dedicated charging port places a resistance not exceeding 200Ω across the D+ and D− terminals.

The intent is to permit uniformly charging laptops, tablets, USB-powered disks and similarly higher-power consumer electronics, as a natural extension of existing European and Chinese mobile telephone charging standards. This may also affect the way electric power used for small devices is transmitted and used in both residential and public buildings. [61] [62] The standard is designed to coexist with the previous USB Battery Charging specification. [63] Axelson, Jan. "USB 3.0 Developers FAQ". Archived from the original on 20 December 2016 .

The PCI Express function of USB4 replicates the functionality of previous versions of the Thunderbolt specification.The maximum allowed cross-section of the overmold boot (which is part of the connector used for its handling) is 16 by 8mm (0.63 by 0.31in) for the Standard-A plug type, while for the Type-B it is 11.5 by 10.5mm (0.45 by 0.41in).

Devices that draw more than one unit are high-power devices (such as typical 2.5-inch hard disk drives). USB up to 2.0 allows a host or hub to provide up to 2.5W to each device, in five discrete steps of 100mA, and SuperSpeed devices (USB 3.0 and up) allows a host or a hub to provide up to 4.5W in six steps of 150mA. USB-C supports high-power devices with up to 7.5W, in six steps of 250mA. Full-Featured USB-C Fabrics can support up to 15W. USB Class Codes". 22 September 2018. Archived from the original on 22 September 2018 – via www.usb.org. The USB Power Delivery specification revision2.0 (USB PD Rev. 2.0) has been released as part of the USB3.1 suite. [56] [64] [65] It covers the USB-C cable and connector with a separate configuration channel, which now hosts a DC coupled low-frequency BMC-coded data channel that reduces the possibilities for RF interference. [66] Power Delivery protocols have Devices that draw no more than one unit are said to be low-power devices. All devices must act as low-power devices when starting out as unconfigured. For USB devices up to USB2.0 a unit load is 100mA (or 500mW), while USB3.0 defines a unit load as 150mA (750mW). Full-Featured USB-C Fabrics can support low-power devices with a unit load of 250mA (or 1250mW). Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14931 for PC". Windows Experience Blog. 21 September 2016.
