help Framework 180W USB-C Power Adapter FAQ

Why did Framework make a 180W USB-C charger?

Framework introduced the 180W USB-C adapter for the original Framework Laptop 16 configuration, especially models using the Radeon RX 7700S graphics module. It was notable because 180W over USB-C required USB Power Delivery 3.1 Extended Power Range.

Is the Framework 180W USB-C Power Adapter only for Framework laptops?

No, but connected devices must support the needed USB-C Power Delivery profiles to draw high wattage. A phone, tablet, or smaller laptop will only pull the lower wattage it negotiates.

What replaced the 180W adapter for newer Framework Laptop 16 setups?

Framework later announced a 240W USB-C power adapter for updated Framework Laptop 16 configurations. That was meant to better support higher-load setups such as the 2025 RTX 5070 graphics option.

Can a single USB-C cable really carry 180W?

Yes, with USB PD 3.1 EPR and a suitable cable, USB-C can carry power levels above the older 100W ceiling. Framework's 180W adapter was one of the early laptop chargers built around that standard.
