If you’re looking to connect a USB-C device to your Mac, you’ve come to the right place. To begin with, USB is understood as an industry standard in connecting computers and devices. The most advanced USB consumer cable is USB 3.1 Gen 1 which boasts data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps and USB 3.1 Gen 2 which boasts data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps – this is in reference to the technology inside the cable. When it comes to the connector itself, it’s USB-C you got to look for. USB-C refers to the shape and style of the port and connector. When using a USB-C connector, one can have standards as diverse as USB through to Thunderbolt to lesser standards.
