Low power transfer rate via USB 10GBPS connection
In theory, yes—but proceed with caution when applying that guidance: it only functions correctly with properly matched and certified cables. Contemporary motherboards often include extra over-current safeguards, yet I’ve encountered numerous motherboards (especially laptops) damaged by inexpensive USB charging cords. Many of these only supported charging devices drawing less than 15W, such as an iPhone 6 or 7. Even standard wall sockets aren’t safe: I once used a USB-A to USB-C cable from a Galaxy Tablet with a 15V charger left at home, and within minutes the power supply failed. While modern cables are built for broader use, older designs lack the same safety checks. Amazon (UK) was heavily affected by these low-quality products until they significantly improved their standards around five years ago. I still recommend sticking to the general guideline—and if your desk lacks a suitable outlet, consider a compact fast-charging power bank (<$20 for a 22.5W unit) to avoid risking other devices.
