I don't know if you have noticed that most of the various electronic digital product interfaces we use today have been transformed into type-c interfaces. This interface is more convenient to use, so it has been applied to various products. So what else can type-c do besides being able to charge? Let's take a look together.

USB type-c, also known as USB c, has a total of 24 pins, with 12 on the top and 12 on the bottom. This design allows for forward and backward blind insertion. Currently, fast charging mobile phones are supported using the type-c interface, with output voltages of 5V, 9V, 12V, 15V, 20V, and other options. The standard power can reach up to 100W. At present, many laptops basically use Type-C for fast charging through the PD protocol. In addition to fast charging, the transmission speed is also a major highlight of USB C. The maximum transmission speed of USB 3.1 Gen2 can reach 10Gbps.

In addition to transmitting information, image and audio signals can also be transmitted with the help of docking stations or adapters. For example, type-c can replace the headset interface of mobile phones to achieve TV projection of mobile phones and laptops. It can also be connected to external displays by using type-c to HDMI lines. HDMI 2.0 can support a 4K 60Hz Refresh rate, and specific wires using type-c to DP (DisplayPort) lines can also support a 4K 60Hz Refresh rate.

The type-c interface for external storage devices can also be used to connect storage devices such as hard drives, supporting Ethernet cable interfaces, and external USB devices. In our daily use, the most profound impression of type-c is its strong universality. Such a compact interface can achieve various functions and support various devices such as phones and computers.

However, it is necessary to pay attention to the specific standards of each product. For example, in terms of transmission speed, the latest flagship computers of Samsung and Huawei support USB 3.0, while Xiaomi still supports USB 2.0. In addition, laptops are mostly PD protocol fast charging, which can be used universally. And the fast charging of other Android phones is their own private protocol, which can also be shared, but the speed is slower.

From this, it can be seen that the type-c interface not only makes it more convenient for us to charge electronic devices such as smartphones or laptops through blind insertion, but also has better performance in terms of transmission rate and load capacity, which can help us solve more problems.
