What kind of USB Type-C connector is worth choosing?

1In terms of data transfer rates

USB Type-C supports the latest USB data transmission standards, can support USB 3.1 Generation 2 protocol to utilize a group of data channels to transfer data at a rate of up to 10Gbps; and in the USB3.2 protocol, can be achieved by controlling two groups of 10Gbps data channels to achieve a transmission rate of up to 20Gbps. And Thunderbolt 3.0 has also announced the abandonment of its own physical interface standard, and the use of USB Type-C, so the future of USB Type-C to become the most widely used high-speed data transmission interface standard, there should be no suspense.

2In terms of power transmission

USB Type-C can perfectly support the USB PD (USB Power Delivery) fast charging standard, carrying up to 100W of power (20V/5A). This is mainly due to the fact that in the architecture of USB Type-C, there are four VBUS wires included, which have stronger current transfer capability; at the same time, there are also two CC wires in the USB Type-C interface that are specifically used for charging protocol communication, which are able to set up a communication mechanism between the charging and receiving devices during charging, and realize adaptive charging process adjustment, so that the charging efficiency can be maximized. Therefore, in the field of fast charging of portable devices, USB PD based on USB Type-C interface is also the fast charging protocol with the highest degree of market acceptance.

3In terms of video transmission

USB Type-C can realize 4K or above HD video transmission through Alternate Mode. This feature actually allows USB Type-C to replace DisplayPort, HDMI and other dedicated A/V interfaces, using only one physical interface in the device to realize the transmission of data and video, further reducing the type and number of interfaces in electronic devices.

4In terms of ease of use

USB Type-C 0.83cm x 0.26cm is very small, compared with the familiar USB Type-A interface is only 1/3; and USB Type-C supports double-sided positive and negative insertion, to avoid blind insertion, "insertion is not allowed" trouble, which undoubtedly greatly improves the user experience.
