USB-C, or USB Type-C, is a connector that supersedes previous USB connectors and can carry very-high-speed data, e.g. to drive multiple large displays, and substantial power, such as to power a computer. It is not only for USB but is used by other protocols, including Thunderbolt, HDMI, and DisplayPort, and is extensible to support future standards.

USB-C is reversible and has 24 pins. It is smaller and more durable than previous USB connectors, and it can be plugged in either way. USB-C cables are also capable of carrying more power than previous USB cables, making them ideal for charging laptops and other devices.

USB-C is quickly becoming the standard connector for many devices, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, and even some desktops. It is also being used in a variety of other devices, such as monitors, TVs, and external storage devices.

Here are some of the benefits of USB-C:

• Reversible connector: You can plug in a USB-C cable either way, without having to worry about which side is up.
• Faster data transfer speeds: USB-C supports data transfer speeds of up to 10Gbps, which is twice as fast as USB 3.0.
• More power delivery: USB-C can deliver up to 100W of power, which is enough to charge most laptops and other devices.
• Versatility: USB-C can be used for a variety of purposes, including data transfer, charging, and video output.

If you are buying a new device, it is worth looking for one that has a USB-C port. USB-C is the future of connectivity, and it is likely to become the standard connector for all types of devices in the coming years.
