Basically I’m trying to de-clutter the cables to my charging station, and was hoping to use a 3-way cable for my phone, watch, and headphones.
My main concern is if one device is able to successfully negotiate QuickCharge or PD, would that send 9-20 volts to the other devices?
e.g. if I grabbed the wrong cord and hooked it into my laptop, the laptop requests 20v, would that PD negotiation succeed and also send 20v to my 5v devices on the other two leads?
I’ve only used these kinds of cables with USB-A and chargers that can only output 5V. Most of my chargers now are QC/PD so I’m curious if I should avoid those or take any particular precautions.
Do you use all the cables all the time? If not, you could get a couple retractable ones to keep things tidy. Then just plug in the 2-3 things you regularly use.
Usually, yes. It’s where my daily-carry devices (phone, headphones, and watch) get plugged in each evening.
Someone recommended using cable sleeves to tidy things up, and I think that’s the route I’m going to go.
Your watch… does the charger plug into the USB, or does USB plug into the watch?
Charger into USB.
