Guide note · not an individual product specification
The useful distinction
Understand the requirement.
Source documentation and cable evidence must both remain visible. [C177A]
The GW8L7 guide warns that a cable and device must be compatible with the charger’s labeled voltage/current. [C177B]
Bounded facts, visible unknowns
Specifications and limits
The cable has its own current and voltage limits facts and limitations
Scope
Documentary comparison only; no live negotiation or connection approval. [C177A][C177B]
Verified device list
Not included. Check exact device and accessory documentation.
A boundary, not an omission to guess around.
A 3A cable reference cannot be silently treated as 5A because its wattage label looks large. The profile worksheet compares the selected request against each documented cable axis and reports a conflict independently of the source result.
Before you connect
What to check
Identify the exact source SKU and relevant output case.
Compare one complete documented option at a time.
Preserve unknown bounds and unverified observations.
The worksheet cannot inspect contact condition, markings, e-markers, extensions or damaged insulation. Confirm the exact direct cable separately and follow manufacturer instructions. Do not modify equipment to make a calculation fit.
AI-assisted inspection is not independent engineering review. Source scope and access limitations are disclosed below. Procedural checklists are editorial requirements, not hardware measurements.

The U040-003-C datasheet describes a 20 V / 3 A limit.
Locator: PDF pages 1–3; power description, endpoint table and USB specification Access: public pdf text. All PDF text and page 2 image inspected; page 1 and 3 images could not be retrieved. Product-length fields disagree, so no precise length is normalized. Broad universal compatibility claims are excluded.
Claim scope: Exact source and product scope stated in the guide; not independent technical approval or hardware validation.. Next review due 2027-01-01.

Scoped support: The model is described with a 20 V, 3 A, 60 W limit, USB-C male endpoints and USB 2.0 rates up to 480 Mbps.
Not established / limitations: All PDF text and page 2 image inspected; page 1 and 3 images could not be retrieved. Product-length fields disagree, so no precise length is normalized. Broad universal compatibility claims are excluded.

Scoped support: The guide identifies US model GW8L7 and lists four fixed output pairs. PPS entries give upper voltage/current values, with a 45 W ceiling; no lower PPS voltage is stated in those sections.
Not established / limitations: GW8L7 scope only, not a retailer’s model alias or another regional identifier. PPS lower bounds and actual APDO messages are unrecorded. Upper voltage/current values must not be multiplied into a power claim exceeding the stated cap.
