USB-C is a standard connector for transmitting both data and power on a single cable. It was developed by the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF), a group of companies that has developed, certified, and shepherded the USB standard over the years. USB-C is an oval-shaped port and connector that is used to transfer data and power between devices. One of its most useful features is delivering enough power to charge the host device, such as a laptop or a smartphone. USB-C ports and cables function just like USB-A equivalents, only better. The connector is reversible, so there is no right or wrong way to connect USB-C gadgets. USB-C cables can charge nearly any device with up to 100W of power or 3 amps. USB-C is becoming more widely used and is likely to replace USB-A, USB-B, and USB Mini-B.
