an ingenious USB-C gadgets you didn’t know you needed
A Type-C cable, also known as USB-C, is a modern, versatile, and reversible connector for transmitting both power and data. Introduced in 2014, it has become the standard for most new electronic devices, including smartphones, laptops, and tablets.
Key features and benefits
- Reversible design: The small, oval-shaped connector can be plugged into a port in either direction, eliminating the frustration of trying to insert it correctly.
- Faster charging: Using USB Power Delivery (USB PD) technology, USB-C can deliver significantly more power than older USB cables—up to 100 watts with the standard specification and up to 240 watts with the Extended Power Range (EPR) standard. This allows for rapid charging of everything from phones to large laptops.
- High-speed data transfer: USB-C supports the latest USB standards, including USB4, which can achieve data transfer speeds of up to 40 Gbps. This allows large files to be transferred in a fraction of the time compared to older standards like USB 2.0.
- Universal compatibility: A single USB-C cable can be used across many different device types and brands, replacing the need for a collection of specialized cables for charging and data transfer.
- Multi-purpose functionality: With a technology called "Alternate Mode," a USB-C port can transmit video and audio signals in addition to power and data. This allows a single cable to connect a laptop to a monitor, or a smartphone to a display.
