What type-c interface?
Type-C is a connection interface of USB interface. It can be inserted on both sides of the interface. The size is about 8.3mm×2.5mm. It supports USB standard charging, data transmission, display output and other functions as other interfaces. Type-C interface is a relatively new type of interface, it is estimated that will soon be popular, like the new MacBook, Le mobile phone, are all such interfaces.
As early as December 2013, the USB3.0 promotion team has announced the rendering of the next-generation USBType-C connector, which was then ready for mass production in August 2014. The highlight of the new interface is a slimmer design, faster transmission speeds (up to 10Gbps) and more powerful power transmission (up to 100W). The biggest feature of the Type-C double-sided pluggable interface is that it supports the double-side insertion of the USB interface, formally solves the worldwide problem of "USB never inserts in and out", and inserts both front and back. At the same time, the USB data cable used with it must also be more detailed and lighter.
Type-C features
1. The maximum data transmission speed reaches 10Gbit/second, which is also the standard of USB3.1; 2. The size of the Type-C interface socket end is about 8.3mm x 2.5mm slim design; 3. Supports insertion from both positive and negative sides. Positive and negative plug-in function, which can withstand 10,000 times of repeated plugging and unplugging; 4. Standard size cable with Type-C connector can pass 3A current, while also supporting USBPD exceeding the existing USB power supply capability, can provide the maximum 100W of electricity.
Type-C appearance characteristics
1.Ultra thin
The thinner body requires a thinner port, which is one of the reasons why USB-C was born. The USB-C port is 0.83 cm long and 0.26 cm wide. The old USB port is 1.4 cm long and 0.65 cm wide. It has become obsolete. This also means that the end of the USB-C data cable will be one-third the size of a standard USB-A data cable plug.
2. No positive and negative
Like Apple's Lightning interface, the front and back sides of the USB-C port are the same. That is to say, no matter how you insert this port is correct. Users do not have to worry about the pros and cons of traditional USB ports.
Type-C main function
1. Fast
In theory, the maximum transfer rate of USB-C ports is 10 Gb/s. But Apple said that the new MacBook's USB-C port has a maximum transfer rate of 5 Gbps. The maximum output voltage is 20 volts, which can speed up the charging time. The USB-A type, up to now, has a limit transfer rate of 5 Gbps and an output voltage of 5 volts.
2. All-rounder
The new MacBook's USB-C port can transfer data, charge it, or link it to a video output port as an external display device. The only question is how Apple meets users who want to do these three things at the same time.
3. Two-way
Unlike older USB ports, power can only be transmitted in one direction, and USB-C port power transmission is bi-directional, which means it can have two types of transmit power. Therefore, the user can not only use the laptop to charge the mobile device, but also can use other devices or mobile power to charge the notebook.
4. Backward compatibility
USB-C can be compatible with the old USB standard, but users need to purchase additional adapters to complete compatibility. Apple stated that not only did Apple officially sell adapters, but third-party companies could also authorize production.
Type-C Technical Features
In December 2013, the USB3.0 marketing team announced the rendering of the next-generation USBType-C connector, which was then ready for mass production in August 2014. The highlight of the new interface is a slimmer design, faster transmission speeds (up to 10Gbps) and more powerful power transmission (up to 100W). The biggest feature of the Type-C double-sided pluggable interface is that it supports the double-side insertion of the USB interface, formally solves the worldwide problem of "USB never inserts in and out", and inserts both front and back. At the same time, the USB data cable used with it must also be more detailed and lighter.
In summary, USBType-C has the following features:
1. The maximum data transmission speed reaches 10Gbit/second, which is also the standard of USB3.1;
2.Type-C interface socket size is about 8.3mm × 2.5mm slim design;
3. Support "positive and negative insertion" functions that can be inserted from both sides. It can withstand 10,000 times of repeated insertion and removal.
4. The standard-size cable with Type-C connector can supply 3A current, and also supports USBPD which exceeds the existing USB power supply capability, and can provide up to 100W of power.
What is the difference between type-c and common interface?
Compared with the traditional interface, type-c has several highlights
1, in a more slim design, faster transmission speed (up to 10Gbps) and more powerful power transmission (up to 100W).
2. The biggest feature of Type-C double-sided pluggable interface is that it supports the double-side insertion of the USB interface, formally solves the worldwide problem of “USB never inserted”, and it is inserted casually on both sides.
3. The USB data cable used with it at the same time must also be more detailed and lighter.
