About USB Type-C

About USB Type-C

USB Type-C is a connector standard formulated by USB standard organization "USB Implementers Forum".
This compact sized USB connector is similar to the micro USB that is now widely used for smart phones and other various applications. It features reversible insertion, speeds up to 20Gbps transmission. Quick charge is possible by applying USB Power Delivery (PD).

Features (1): Reversible Mating without Concern for Orientation

Features 1: Reversible mating without concern for orientation

The symmetrical design eliminates concern for backward insertion. You simply insert the plug in either directions.
*Hirose's CX series has a superior in "click feel" when mating and is designed to prevent incomplete mating.

Features (2): High Speed Data Transmission / VideoOutput

Features 2: High speed data transmission / Video output

USB Type-C can transfer the data twice as fast compared to the conventional USB3.1(10Gbps), 20Gbps (Max.).
Also, if alternate mode is applied, it becomes possible to meet various video transmission standards such as MHL and Display Port.

Features (3): Large Capacity Power Supply which Enables Quick Charge

Features 3: Large capacity power supply which enables quick charge

Applicable to USB Power Delivery, it can handle up to 100W (20V / 5A). This makes it possible to use not only for smart phones but also for tablet, notebook PC and other displays.

Features (4): It can be Used for Both Host and Device Sides

Using a conventional USB connector, the Series A connector is always connected to the host. The Series B connector is always connected to the device. The Type-C connector can be used at both host side and device side.
Using a conventional USB system, the USB B connector, comes in many forms including the standard USB-B, the mini-B, and the Micro-B. Each of these standards requires a different cable. The Type-C connector, it is a single standard that can connect to all devices with only one USB cable.

Features 4: It can be used for both host and device sides. Only one cable is needed for data transmission/charging

Features (5): Only One Cable is Required

Features 5: Only one cable is required

The Type-C connector is able to perform all functions such as data transmission, video output and charging described above at the same time. With a Type-C cable, data transmission is set by USB, video output by display port, charging by power adapter ...All you need is only one cable!
