USB-C Definition Via techterms.com
Stands for "Universal Serial Bus Type-C." USB-C is
a type of USB connector
that was introduced in 2015. It supports USB 3.1, which means a USB-C
connection can transfer data up to 10 Gbps and send or
receive up to 20 volts or 100 watts of power. Unlike the previous USB Type-A
and USB Type-B ports, the USB-C port is symmetrical,
which means you never have to worry about plugging in the cable the wrong way.
The USB-C connector is the most significant change to the
USB connector since the USB interface was standardized in 1996. USB 1.1, 2.0,
and 3.0 all used the same flat, rectangular USB-A connector. While there have
been several variations of USB-B, such as Mini-USB and Micro-USB, they are all
designed for peripheral devices,
which connect to a Type-A port on the other end. The Type-C connector
introduced with USB 3.1 is designed to be the same on both ends.
There is no mini or micro version of USB-C, since the
standard USB-C connector is about the same size of a Micro-USB connector. This
means it can be used in small devices like smartphones andtablets. Since USB-C
supports up to 100 watts of power, it can also be used as the power connector
for laptops. In
fact, the first laptops to include USB-C ports – the 2015 Apple MacBook and
Google Chromebook Pixel – do not include power connectors. Instead, the power
cable connects directly to the USB-C port.
A USB-C connector will only fit in a USB-C port, but USB-C
cables are backwards-compatible with other USB standards. Therefore, a USB-C to
USB-A or USB-C to USB-B adapter can
be used to connect older USB devices to a USB-C port. However, the data transfer rate and
wattage will be limited to the lower standard.
