The plug supports 65W maximum from one output and the cable 100W maximum as well.
If yes, why is the default framework brick/cable combination so huge? 132g for the plug + 63g for the 180cm long cable is still 100g less than the shipped one.
Hi,
I have the exact power plug and it works well with the Framework, I have no concerns about the cable. As I would trust Anker’s rating, this cable should be fine to use.
Regarding the second question, Anker is especially advertising the GaN transistors here which makes the small form factor possible. I guess it might at some point be an option, but as the availability of those components is probably still limited framework does not use them yet.
Fortunatley the choice is up to you
I’ve read that the framework charger also uses GaN, that’s why I was confused why it’s still so much large/heavier.
An ultra-high-effiency 60W charger using GaN technology to stay cool and compact. The included detachable USB-C and AC cables make it easy to adapt to your needs.
Just a heads up for everyone reading this:
I’ve had this combination in use for over a week now and all is well.
In fact, I would say I can highly recommend it.
(The charger gets old mildy warm)
