What Is USB Type-C and Do You Really Need It

ShopperPlusLeave a comment

Cables and connectors for devices are always changing, and USB Type-C is the latest addition to the already vast collection. Devices of all kinds are already adopting this new USB-C standard, but what does that mean for those devices and their users?

The Details on USB Type-C

USB-C, like other USB types before it, is a cable standard for transferring both data and power. It seeks to set a standard cable for all devices, allowing them all to interconnect and making chargers and accessories the same for all.

While some manufacturers still try to make proprietary connectors to encourage customers to stay within their brand, many people are turning against this idea.

Choosing the Right Connector

The simplest deciding factor whether or not to choose USB Type-C is whether or not a certain device supports it. Devices have shaped ports that only accept certain cords. USB Type-C is a rectangle with rounded ends.

With so many options, any devices using USB Type-C are extremely interconnective and easy to use, making it the easy choice for any new device.

The Versatility of USB Type-C

One of the reasons USB Type-C is seeing so much use is the wide range of features it includes. It has drastically increased power throughput, meaning larger devices can be powered and charged. There is also video capability that works with HDMI devices.

USB 3.0 can be identified by an additional connection pin inside the connector. It’s most commonly used for external hard drives that need high transfer speeds.

Compatibility

Older devices, and those with proprietary connectors, don’t support USB Type-C. However, there are many adapters and other assets that let them make use of the technology. USB Type-C adapters are available for data transfer, power, and video applications.

Adoption is the biggest hurdle for any new standard, and the wealth of adapters and their ease of use help USB Type-C face that challenge.

USB Type-C Limitations

Despite all these great features, there are still some issues with USB Type-C. Most devices using this standard offer some kind of fast charge feature, but often it only works with the original charger. Even high-quality replacements won’t trigger the fast charge.

While it’s disparaging to see the same kinds of proprietary issues showing up in the new tech, the problem isn’t so serious as before.

Top USB Type-C Applications

One of the biggest new areas where USB Type-C is taking hold is ultra-thin laptops and netbooks. Traditionally requiring larger chargers, now they can be powered by simple USB Type-C. Gaming is another major adopter, with most consoles support the standard.

Smartphones and tablets see the most use of USB Type-C cables, alongside various other devices. Shop USB-C cables, adapters, and more at PrimeCables.ca.
