"I'm not sure what the person asking the question, a PR representative for a tech firm, expected. Maybe that I'd say the product they were pushing? A power bank? A cable? Some fancy satellite-enabled communicator that can survive being thrown into Mount Doom? An electric toothbrush that's also a cat brush? Nope. None of those. Also: This $12 USB-C accessory solved the biggest issue I had with my laptop's charger"
"They're small two-part USB-C connectors, a male connector on one that fits into the device in question, a female the other that goes onto the cable, and strong neodymium magnets between the two parts holding them together. The idea is to allow you to have the convenience and safety of Apple's MagSafe MacBook breakaway connector on all your devices. Also: My favorite USB-C accessory just got even better with a built-in power meter - and it's only $20"
Magnetic breakaway USB-C connectors consist of a small two-part system: a male plug that stays in the device and a female part that attaches to the cable, held together by neodymium magnets. They provide a MagSafe-like safety mechanism that prevents damage if a cable is tripped or yanked. Many models support up to 240W power delivery, 40Gb/s data transfer, and 8K@60Hz video. Early designs were simple and suited to laptops, power banks, and power stations. Later versions add features such as built-in power meters and variant connector styles for broader compatibility.
