USB Type-C Main Features

Sep 11, 2022

For the need of data exchange, T electronic devices all provide USB interface, whether it is PC, tablet point, mobile phone or even display device. Almost without exception, there are USB interfaces. However, due to the limitation of technical standards, the USB plug is "directional". If it is inserted in the wrong direction, either it cannot be inserted or the interface or connector is damaged. In this case, Apple has designed a Lightning [4] interface for its device. Since it can be inserted in both directions, users need not worry about the wrong insertion. In addition to Apple devices, the T industry has also introduced a similar interface standard: USB Type-C


The trend of USB Type-C was first led by Apple, and USB Type-c will be introduced by the new macBook. This powerful technology has been brought into our vision. USB Type-C is an interface specification, which consists of Type-C plug and Type-C socket. Among various mobile devices and PCs, Type-C has become the most promising data interface. With the gradual maturity of Tpe-C technology, various newly launched electronic products in 2017 also chose to configure full Type-C interfaces.


In fact, the most intuitive advantage of Type-C is that it allows you to completely get rid of the trouble of plugging cables. With its excellent front and back pluggable interface design, there will be no damage to components caused by wrong plugging or mistakes. More importantly, Type-C interface has strong compatibility, so it becomes a standardized interface that can connect PCs, game consoles, smartphones, storage devices and expand all electronic devices equally, and realizes the unification of data transmission and power supply. For example, two display devices are used together through a Type-C cable.


In addition, Type-C also supports the USB3.1 standard. The maximum power supply of this standard is 100W, and the voltage and current will increase; The coding consumption is reduced from 20% of 3.0 to 3%. In other words, users can quickly transfer data and video through Type-C, or charge faster. The standard also allows users to charge other devices with their mobile phones. For the display, when Type-C is used for data transmission, there is no need to use another power cord to power the display, which solves the problem of messy desktop wires. Even high-end HDMI and DP interfaces cannot be used.
