Type C Connector |
Benefits
USB Type C is just a connector shape enabling reversible connection regardless of the port shape.The USB 3.1 behind this port is the bull, carrying speeds of upto 10 gbps rather than 5 gbps of USB 3.0.
Benefit of USB Type C over USB 3.1 is power benefits. an old USB Type A would provide you with minimal options ie; to charge your smartphone.Those ports provide a mere 2.5 watts max power pump.Where as laptop device requires atleast 70 watts of power.Here Type C provides almost 100 watts pumping through its port.That calls for acting as both host and client while charging.(Normally charge flows from host to client, where a more powered device usually acts as a host eg.while charging mobile phone using your laptop, the laptop acts as a host and the latter the client.).So a device can either send or recieve power.And this power can be transferred at the same time the device is transmitting data across the connection.
With apple's Macbook and Google Chromebook using these ports for charging themselves.This could change the way we use cables soon with no need for charger compatibility issues.These C types with USB 3.1 could unify the standards of cables.
The upcoming One Plus Two and the further galaxy series are to debut Type C in their devices with Apple's Iphone 6 already hitting the Type C in their spec sheets earlier this year.
