The Three "C's" of USB Type-C: Connectors, Controllers and Cables

Tue, 12 Jan 2016 12:14:33 CST

USB Type-C™, the newest USB connector standard, is about cabling. You'll begin to see the small, reversible Type-C connectors on devices from laptops and smart phones to flash drives and video systems. The list is inclusive and growing because the Type-C cable can provide both data and power to hosts and devices, as well as offer a universal power cable solution. Smaller than the standard USB connectors, the rugged connector can be used in slimmer designs and be configured for a variety of applications. Its promise: that tangle of power adapters and proprietary cables you have clumped around your AC outlet fades away and your data transfers quickly. Unique video cables are a thing of the past.
