Be the guinea pigs and let me know if it fries your laptop!
The USB PD spec requires only 3A at each of the voltages below 20V when a charger is >45W. So you will find that 95%+ of the higher rated USB PD chargers will be 3A at 5V, 9V, 12V and 15V, and (Watts / 20) amps at 20V.
The device/laptop should be charging at 20V if it's taking more power.
Cable is soldered on. If you don't like the length of the cable and want to swap it out for something longer or shorter, you can't.
Makes sense, can you offer an alternative?
To test this using an USB-PD tester, an USB-C to USB-C cable will still be required.
Based on my own testing, using different USB-C to USB-C cable definitely results in different voltage and current on Apple Macbook Pros. One of the cables I tested (a USB-IF certified cable mind you) failed to engage fast charge mode (stuck at 5V) in 1 out of 6 attempts - it was only because I was using a USB-C tester, I was able to detect this (because Macbook Pro still says charging). Apple and Google USB-C cables didn't have the issue. The cheaper cable consistently getting lower voltage and current even when fast charge is engaged.
The soldered cable would be USB-C/PD USB 2.0 so e-marker is optional so I doubt it will be there.
If it is for mobile phones, tablets and laptops not costing a lot, then it is fine. For expensive laptops or Macbook Pros, I recommend that you stick with original charger and cable.
just out of curiosity, what was the USB-IF certified cable you used? Hopefully not one of the ones I recently bought lol.
Also, what USB-C tester are you using?
@raven2000: The other USB-IF certified cable was Amazon Basics USB-C/USB-C USB 2.0 cable. Tester was YZXStudio ZY1276 (Pro). Power charger used was Apple original USB-C PD 87W charger.
Correction: The soldered on cable wouldn't have e-marker (would be USB 2.0) so you don't need another cable to test it.
there are plenty of PD chargers with no cable attached.
But a lot of them have US or EU plugs, not AU.
Yeah, I bought a charger without the cable (3rd party) as well - US plug. It supports both QC and USB-PD. Though, I've decided to stick to originals for now.
40W plus extra usb ports for $23.20

Seems interesting since my laptop and power bank accept up to 30W.
40w is probably the total power to all 3 ports. None of the 3 ports would be able to reach 40w on their own. So your laptop probably won't even get the 30w it wants.
If you take a look at the images, you can see the specs where it says both USB-C and USB-A outputs can do 20V 2A.
If you look at the user manual title, they were originally going for 60W.

And it's only 65w if your device takes 20V. 12V is only 36W.
