Type-C







If you’ve bought a new smartphone in the past couple of years, chances are it has a new port used for charging and possibly even audio. It’s called USB Type-C and as you’ve probably noticed it plugs in the first time, every time thanks to its reversible design.

There’s much more to this new connector than just a reversible version of the old micro-USB design though. So let’s take a look at exactly what USB Type-C is and what it can do for us.

A look at the USB Type-C connector

First, a quick history. The USB connector goes all the way back to 1996 with the USB Type-A connector that you will probably still find on your PC and laptop. The micro-USB port came along with USB 2.0 in 2000 and was the connector port of choice for the vast majority of portable gadgets until USB Type-C came along in 2014.

USB Type-A, B, micro, and mini all share the same basic internal connections (it was just the port shaped that varies), with faster 3.0 cables and ports boasting an extra high-speed data lane. USB Type-C triples the pin count from USB 3.0’s eight up to 24. So as well as being the first reversible design, USB Type-C also greatly expands the number of pins and thus its capabilities too.

USB is over 20 years old, but Type-C is the first reversible cable and major revamp of the standard.

However, you won’t be able to use some of the advanced features of USB Type-C when using these cables, and that situation has led to some problems when it comes to obtaining quick charge speeds from smartphone chargers.

USB Type-C is no guarantee that you'll see the fastest available data speeds.

USB-C supports both audio and video standards over the connector too.

There’s much more to USB Type-C than just a reversible connector, but funnily enough, it’s probably that feature alone that makes the cable so appealing for portable consumer electronics.
