Charging docks supply power and do not include a host device or data pins, allowing any capable USB device to charge or operate from a standard USB cable. Charging cables provide power connections, but not data. In a charge-only cable, the data wires are shorted at the device end, otherwise, the device may reject the charger as unsuitable.
The USB OTG and Embedded Host Supplement to the USB 2.0 specification introduced three new communication protocols: . Attach Detection Protocol (ADP): Allows an OTG device, embedded host or USB device to determine attachment status in the absence of power on the USB bus, enabling both insertion-based behavior and the capability to display attachment status.
12 V and 24 V powered USB sockets, on an NCR cash register. PoweredUSB, also known as Retail USB, USB PlusPower, USB +Power, and USB Power Plus, [1] is an addition to the Universal Serial Bus standard that allows for higher-power devices to obtain power through their USB host instead of requiring an independent power supply or external AC adapter.
Formally, a cable type and properties are defined by a distinct specification version, which was used during the development/design of said cable model, so each cable would be a valid and possibly certified cable according to a specific set of USB specification versions, like "Type-C 2.3, USB 3.2, USB4 Version 2.0".
Since the Universal Serial Bus specification provides five-volt power, it is possible to use a USB cable to connect a device to a power supply. Products based on this approach include chargers for cellular phones, portable digital audio players, and tablet computers. They may be fully compliant USB peripheral devices or uncontrolled, simple ...

Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) is an open standard that operating systems can use to discover and configure computer hardware components, to perform power management (e.g. putting unused hardware components to sleep), auto configuration (e.g. Plug and Play and hot swapping), and status monitoring.
A USB killer is a device that is designed to be portable and sends high-voltage power surges repeatedly into the data lines of the device it is connected to, which will damage hardware components on unprotected devices. Companies selling the device state it is designed to test components for protection from power surges and electrostatic discharge.
