Let me know what you think, but this cable straight up melted and catched on fire after being put up to its nominal power.

    Yeah that would be my guess as well.

    But honestly who is pumping 240w through a magnetic connector in the first place?!? My MacBook Pro only has a 96w power supply. I mean are you charging a bike with that thing?

      usb-c epr supports up to 240w. its still fairly limited on what devices will use that value, but for example, a framework 16 laptop with the 7700s dgpu option can easily pull 180w over usb-c.

      no one has practically implemented magnetic cables with the new EPR standard yet though.
