Buyer information, not installation instructions. Requirements depend on the adopted local code and exact product. Electrical work and site diagnosis should be performed by qualified professionals.
Yes, if the laptop accepts USB-C charging and the outlet and cable supply a compatible power profile. Start with the laptop model and its recommended charger. These determine which outlet to shortlist. [Source]
Match the laptop to a charging profile
Apple recommends a USB Power Delivery source and cable that meet at least the minimum wattage for the Mac model. Other laptops have their own requirements, so use the computer manufacturer’s specification. [Source]
FTR15QC-DC65W offers the profiles below. Its highest published single-port output is 20V at 3.25A, or 65W. Compare the voltage and current with the laptop’s accepted input. [Source]
| Voltage | Current | Calculated power |
|---|---|---|
| 5V | 3A | 15W |
| 9V | 3A | 27W |
| 12V | 3A | 36W |
| 15V | 3A | 45W |
| 20V | 3.25A | 65W |
Use a cable rated for the required power. The outlet’s 15A, 125V rating describes its AC receptacle; USB charging power is specified separately.
Allow for the second device
FTR15QC-DC65W has two USB-C ports. The catalog gives single-port maximums but no complete simultaneous-port allocation table. For a laptop and phone used together, request the combined-use figures before approving the outlet.
A charging icon is only part of the check. Apple notes that insufficient available power can produce a slow-charger warning. Assess the laptop under its intended workload, then repeat with the second port occupied. [Source]
Keep the laptop, cable, phone and battery state with the sample results so the same setup can be checked again.
For an office, name the computers the outlet must support. For a guest room, state whether the aim is phone charging or laptop charging too. That distinction belongs in the product brief.
For example: “FTR15QC-DC65W for [laptop model] with [cable]. Please confirm available power with the laptop alone and with a phone on the second port.” Attach the laptop charging specification.
Reading a laptop charger against the outlet
Start with the wattage printed on the laptop's original supply. Most 13- and 14-inch machines ship with something in the 45–65 W band, which is why the 65 W Power Delivery model is the one that gets specified. The 20 W model is a phone and tablet device; it will charge a laptop slowly or refuse the negotiation, and no cable fixes that.
Above 65 W the range stops. A 90 W or 140 W workstation laptop needs a supply outside this catalogue, and the honest answer is a desk dock rather than a wall outlet. Saying so early saves a sample round.
The cable is part of the circuit. A USB-C cable rated for 3 A caps the current no matter what the outlet or the laptop can negotiate, so a 65 W outlet with a 3 A cable behaves like a 60 W one. For the full profile, specify a 5 A cable with the e-marker, and keep the cable in the quotation so the customer is not left to source it.
With two devices connected, the split follows whatever the model publishes for simultaneous use. A laptop at 65 W plus a phone is not 65 W plus 20 W on every product, and where a model does not publish a combined figure, the two single-port ratings should not be added together to make one. Ask for the simultaneous-port data on the exact model.
Send the laptop model, the original charger wattage, the cable rating and the second device. Those four answers decide whether FTR15QC-DC65W is even the right part before anyone talks about quantity.
