PRODUCT INFORMATION
What is the Belkin WCH014?The Belkin WCH014 is a four-port wall charger that uses advanced Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology and can provide up to 140W of power. It has three USB-C® Power Delivery (PD) 3.1 ports that support Programmable Power Supply (PPS), and it also has a USB-A port. This charger is more efficient compared to older-style chargers and can meet all your charging requirements.
What is USB-C PD 3.1?USB-C PD 3.1 is a power delivery specification for USB chargers and devices that allows for maximum functionality and flexibility of USB charging and data over a single cable.
What is USB-C PPS?USB-C PPS is a specification that describes an advanced charging technology designed for USB-C devices. It can dynamically adjust the voltage and current being delivered to a device, providing the maximum power based on the device's charging needs in real-time.
What is GaN?GaN is a material used in chargers that enables them to be smaller, deliver more power, and generate less heat than older technologies.
What does it mean when you say the output power is “shared” on the Belkin WCH014?It means that the Belkin WCH014 can provide a maximum combined power of 140W across its USB ports.
