USB-C is an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power on a single cable. It is a small, reversible, versatile port that transfers data and charges devices at high speed. The USB-C connector was developed by the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF), the group of companies that has developed, certified, and shepherded the USB standard over the years. USB-C is a 24-pin USB connector system with a reversible connector. The USB-C port and connector are used to transfer data and power between devices.
Here are some key features of USB-C chargers:
-
Reversible Connector: One of the most useful features of USB-C is that its connector is reversible, so there is no right or wrong way to connect USB-C gadgets.
-
Power Delivery: USB-C cables can charge nearly any device with up to 100W of power or 3 amps. USB-C charging works differently than traditional USB charging, using a different type of cable and port to transfer data and power. The charging process involves a constant dialogue between the device and the charger, allowing the charger to adjust its output to meet the devices requirements.
-
Data Transfer: USB-C cables are designed to transmit both power and data, supporting faster charging speeds and higher power delivery. USB-C ports and cables function just like USB-A equivalents, only better.
USB-C chargers are becoming more common and are used in many devices, including laptops, smartphones, and tablets. They are user-friendly, meaning there are no up and down orientations.
