> 20V and 100W would make for a lot of nice options for powering things.

Requires a pair of 17AWG stranded wires for a 2m run, allowing 3% cable loss.

For comparison, cat6 is 23 or 24AWG stranded, and US residential power wiring is typically 12 or 14AWG solid core. Smaller numbers are bigger, less flexible wires.

I guess it won't work with microUSB contacts, or at least not at full power.
