USB C has much lower EMI than other cables. It would be ideal for powering up a device so long as it is supported.
USB C power cables
I’m looking to get a USB C to USB C cable to power a Rasberry Pi. The reviews I read on USB cables are all where the USB cables are used as digital ICs, none tested how well it powers a device.
Has anybody looked into which USB cables work well to power components?
I spoke to a guy at Audioquest and he said any cable would do, which I found strange since Audioquest do sell AC cables and would be aware that RFI & EMI cause issues. The Pi 4 also requires a current of 3A, which ( I believe ) is higher than what is required for USB 2 standards.
