USB-C, also known as USB Type-C, is an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power on a single cable. It is a 24-pin USB connector system with a reversible connector, which means that a USB-C cable can connect either way. USB-C is replacing older USB connectors such as USB-A and USB-B, and it is compatible with the newest USB standards such as USB 3.1.
One of the most useful features of USB-C is its ability to deliver enough power to charge devices such as laptops and smartphones. USB-C cables can transmit up to 100W of power or 3 amps, which is more than older USB connectors. USB-C is also used for data transfer between devices.
USB-C is not only used for charging laptops and smartphones, but it is also used in other devices such as the Chromecast with Google TV, modern MacBooks, Samsung Galaxy phones, and audio interface gear.
When buying a USB Type-C product, it is essential to select a charger produced by a reliable and certified manufacturer to avoid accidents during the charging process and further damage to the product.
