Nowadays, more and more mobile phones, laptops, tablets and other devices choose to use the type-c interface. Why is this interface popular in the market, and what are its advantages? The concept of type-c interface is explained in Baidu Baike as follows: type-c is the latest USB interface appearance standard, and its volume is much smaller than type-a and type-b. This type of interface has no difference in direction and can be easily plugged or unplugged.

In addition, type-c is an interface type that can be applied to both PC (master device) and external devices (slave devices, such as mobile phones), which is epoch-making.

From the appearance of the interface, the biggest feature of type-c is that it does not distinguish between positive and negative. Players familiar with DIY hardware know that whether it is the CPU, memory module, graphics card, or hard disk interface, they all have a "foolproof" design to prevent the interface from being plugged back in and unable to boot.

The USB A type interface that we often use in daily life also has anti fooling design, but due to the small size of the interface, miracles often occur with great power. The USB Type-C interface solves this problem from the source.

Because the 24 pins of this interface are symmetrically distributed in the contact function. In order to achieve both forward and reverse insertion, the device can successfully recognize and achieve full functional operation.

What are the advantages of type-c? In addition to being more convenient to plug and unplug, the more important thing is its strong compatibility.

The most common use for interconnecting different devices with a data transmission bandwidth of up to 10Gb/s is naturally data exchange.

The latest USB transmission protocol standard is USB 3.1 Gen2, which has a theoretical bandwidth of up to 10Gb/s.

The USB type-c interface, as the latest USB interface appearance standard, naturally supports the USB 3.1 Gen2 standard and can achieve a read and write speed of 1GB per second during file transfer.

In addition to data transmission, this interface also has the ability to transmit electricity. The USB type-c interface features USB PD (USB Power Delivery Power Transfer Protocol), supporting up to 20V/5A power output, which is 100W charging power.

This interface not only supports the PD fast charging protocol, but also supports the DP Altmode video output protocol.

This is achieved by adding an additional Display Port video bus to the existing USB bus within the type-c interface.

That is to say, the video output function of the type-c interface is USB+DP. Whether it supports DP1.2 or 1.4 interface protocols, its bandwidth supports 4K@60Hz High specification video playback for.

When connecting a laptop with an external display device, using the type-c interface eliminates the need for an additional power cord to power the laptop. The keyboard and mouse can also control the laptop through the USB a interface on the monitor, which is the function of USB HUB expansion.

This not only solves the problem of messy desktop wires, but also makes it more convenient to transfer devices. When leaving work or in a meeting, you can unplug a type-C cable and leave, greatly improving efficiency. This is a function that traditional HDMI and DP interfaces cannot achieve.

Don't forget, your phone also has a type-c interface. Meeting to discuss plans, still holding a notebook? You only need a monitor that supports type-c interface and a mobile phone to complete conference communication. One line=N lines, enjoy lightweight office space. Simple, convenient, and worry free.

So the USB type-C interface not only facilitates plugging and unplugging, but also has strong compatibility with devices. It can not only achieve high standard data transmission and power supply, but also has the highest level of video signal transmission specifications at present.
