The USB will offer soon 100 watts of power!

It will soon be possible to get about 100 watts of power via a single USB port...

The USB - IF (USB Implementers Forum) has just made an announcement that will delight in more than one. The USB ports will soon be able to provide 100 watts of power, or ten times more than it currently offers the SuperSpeed USB! It will then load countless devices, which currently require an external power supply (or in the best of cases, multiple USB cables). This technology is compatible with existing connectors and cables, and it will be handled automatically and transparently (everything will be dedicated to the current pine).

It will also work with the USB Battery Charging 1.2 standard and will be backward compatible with USB 2.0. The standard USB Power Delivery should be finalized in the fourth quarter, before being published early next year. It can therefore expect the first compatible products arrive in less than a year.
