It seems that the USB Type-C Cable and Connector Specification Revision 2.1 has been launched in collaboration with major manufacturers such as HP, Google, MediaTek, Qualcomm, Samsung, and more. The new specifications come with various improvements including up to 240W power delivery, which allows it to charge electronic devices such as laptops much faster.

In addition to that, USB Type-C chargers will be much safer as well as the new standard will be more than capable of charging Windows laptops that require up to 130W, making it much safer compared to the current standard that only supports up to 100W. However, it is best to note that the new cables will most likely be much pricier as they’re rated for up to 240W power delivery.
