Hi all,

This is my first USB-C device, so I'm not sure what to expect. I see the "what's in the box" section lists these items:

USB-C 18W adapter with USB-PD
USB-C to USB-C cable
USB-C to USB Standard-A plug cable

Can someone tell me what these are? Do I understand it right that the first two items make up the new C type plug and cord charger that usually comes with a smartphone (just with a standard USB connection) and the 3rd item is an adapter cable that would allow the C type connection to your phone but plug into a standard USB charger?
 
USB-C 18W adapter - the wall plug
USB-C to USB-C cable - the cable to plug into the adapter to charge the phone

The above 2 items make up this - https://forums.androidcentral.com/e.../store.google.com/us/?hl=en-US&token=Ead82FQU

USB-C to USB Standard-A plug cable - a cable that plugs into a standard USB port (the original USB port) on one end and the phone on the other. This cable SHOULD only charge at 2.0 Amp charge speeds and should NOT report "charging rapidly". Any cables you buy yourself similar to this should behave the same as this one, if they report "charging rapidly" they were designed improperly and should NOT be used. This is the cable that will be in the box - https://forums.androidcentral.com/e.../store.google.com/us/?hl=en-US&token=Ead82FQU
 
The link for the cable lists it as being able to provide power at 60w at 3 amps.

Also rapid charging is listed. Maybe they refreshed thier listing.
