title="Communication protocol">protocol</a>) that supersedes previous <a href="/wiki/USB_hardware#Connectors" title="USB hardware">USB connectors</a> and can carry audio, video, and other data, to connect to monitors or external drives. It can also provide and receive power, to power, e.g., a laptop or a mobile phone. It is used not only by <a href="/wiki/USB" title="USB">USB</a> technology, but also by other protocols, including <a href="/wiki/Thunderbolt_(interface)" title="Thunderbolt (interface)">Thunderbolt</a>, <a href="/wiki/PCIe" class="mw-redirect" title="PCIe">PCIe</a>, <a href="/wiki/HDMI" title="HDMI">HDMI</a>, <a href="/wiki/DisplayPort" title="DisplayPort">DisplayPort</a>, and others. It is <a href="/wiki/Extensibility" title="Extensibility">extensible</a> to support future protocols. The design for the USB-C connector was initially developed in 2012 by <a href="/wiki/Intel" title="Intel">Intel</a>, <a href="/wiki/HP_Inc." title="HP Inc.">HP Inc.</a> <a href="/wiki/Microsoft" title="Microsoft">Microsoft</a> and the <a href="/wiki/USB_Implementers_Forum" title="USB Implementers Forum">USB Implementers Forum</a>. The Type-C Specification 1.0 was published by the <a href="/wiki/USB_Implementers_Forum" title="USB Implementers Forum">USB Implementers Forum</a> (USB-IF) on August 11, 2014.<a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a> In July 2016, it was adopted by the <a href="/wiki/International_Electrotechnical_Commission" title="International Electrotechnical Commission">IEC</a> as "IEC 62680-1-3".<a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a> The USB Type-C connector has 24 pins and is reversible.<a href="#cite_note-auto-5">[5]</a><a href="#cite_note-extremetech-6">[6]</a> The designation "C" distinguishes it from the various USB connectors it replaced, all termed either Type-A or Type-B. Whereas earlier USB cables had a host end A and a peripheral device end B, a USB-C cable connects either way; and for interoperation with older equipment, there are cables with a Type-C plug at one end and either a Type-A (host) or a Type-B (peripheral device) plug at the other. The designation "C" refers only to the connector's physical configuration, or form factor, not to be confused with the connector's specific capabilities, such as Thunderbolt 3, DisplayPort 2.0, or USB 3.2 Gen 2x2. Based on the protocols supported by both host and peripheral devices, a USB-C connection normally provides much higher signalling and data rates than the superseded connectors. A device with a Type-C connector does not necessarily implement any USB transfer protocol, <a href="/wiki/USB_Power_Delivery" class="mw-redirect" title="USB Power Delivery">USB Power Delivery</a>, or any of the <a class="mw-selflink-fragment" href="#Alternate_modes">Alternate Modes</a>: the Type-C connector is common to several technologies while mandating only a few of them.<a href="#cite_note-USB-C_HK2016-7">[7]</a> <a href="/wiki/USB_3.2" class="mw-redirect" title="USB 3.2">USB 3.2</a>, released in September 2017, fully replaced the USB 3.1 and USB 3.0 specifications. It preserves the former USB 3.1 SuperSpeed and SuperSpeed+ data transfer modes and introduces two additional data transfer modes by newly applying two-lane operations, with signalling rates of 10 Gbit/s (SuperSpeed USB 10 Gbps; raw data rate: 1.212 GB/s) and 20 Gbit/s (SuperSpeed USB 20 Gbps; raw data rate: 2.422 GB/s). They are only applicable with Full-Featured USB-C Fabrics (connectors, cables, hubs, host, and peripheral device) at all connections. <a href="/wiki/USB4" title="USB4">USB4</a>, released in 2019, is the first USB transfer protocol standard that is applicable exclusively via USB-C. <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Ease_of_use">Ease of use</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=USB-C&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Ease of use">edit</a>]</div> The USB-C standard simplifies usage by specifying cables having identical plugs on both ends, which can be inserted without concern about orientation. When connecting two devices, the user can plug either end of the cable into either device. The plugs are flat, but will work if inserted right-side-up or upside-down. The USB-C plugs have two-fold <a href="/wiki/Rotational_symmetry" title="Rotational symmetry">rotational symmetry</a> because a plug may be inserted into a receptacle in either of two orientations. Electrically, USB-C plugs are not symmetric, as can be seen in the tables of pin layouts. Also, the two ends of the USB-C are electrically different, as can be seen in the table of cable wiring. The illusion of symmetry results from how devices respond to the cable. Software makes the plugs and cables behave as though they are symmetric. According to the specifications, "Determination of this host-to-device relationship is accomplished through a Configuration Channel (CC) that is connected through the cable."<a href="#cite_note-8">[8]</a> The USB-C standard attempts to eliminate the need to have different cables for other communication technologies, such as Thunderbolt, PCIe, HDMI, DisplayPort, Wifi and more. Over the past decade, companies all over have adopted the USB-C standard into their products. USB-C cables can contain circuit boards and processors giving them much more capability than simple circuit connections. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Overview">Overview</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=USB-C&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Overview">edit</a>]</div> USB-C cables interconnect hosts and peripheral devices, replacing various other electrical cables and connectors, including all earlier (legacy) <a href="/wiki/USB_hardware#Connectors" title="USB hardware">USB connectors</a>, <a href="/wiki/HDMI" title="HDMI">HDMI</a> connectors, <a href="/wiki/DisplayPort" title="DisplayPort">DisplayPort</a> ports, and <a href="/wiki/3.5_mm_jack" class="mw-redirect" title="3.5 mm jack">3.5 mm audio jacks</a>.<a href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a><a href="#cite_note-anandtech-10">[10]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Name">Name</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=USB-C&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Name">edit</a>]</div> USB Type-C and USB-C are trademarks of the USB Implementers Forum.<a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Connectors">Connectors</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=USB-C&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Connectors">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Apple_Macbook_Pro_14%22_2021_-_Ports_on_the_left_side.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d7/Apple_Macbook_Pro_14%22_2021_-_Ports_on_the_left_side.png/220px-Apple_Macbook_Pro_14%22_2021_-_Ports_on_the_left_side.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="118" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d7/Apple_Macbook_Pro_14%22_2021_-_Ports_on_the_left_side.png/330px-Apple_Macbook_Pro_14%22_2021_-_Ports_on_the_left_side.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d7/Apple_Macbook_Pro_14%22_2021_-_Ports_on_the_left_side.png/440px-Apple_Macbook_Pro_14%22_2021_-_Ports_on_the_left_side.png 2x" data-file-width="3840" data-file-height="2058" /></a><figcaption>USB-C port on <a href="/wiki/MacBook_Pro_(Apple_silicon)" title="MacBook Pro (Apple silicon)">MacBook Pro</a> (middle port)</figcaption></figure> The 24-pin double-sided connector is slightly larger than the <a href="/wiki/USB#Mini_and_micro_connectors" title="USB">micro-B connector</a>, with a USB-C receptacle measuring 8.4 millimetres (0.33 in) wide, 2.6 millimetres (0.10 in) high, and 6.65 millimetres (0.262 in) deep. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Cables">Cables</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=USB-C&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Cables">edit</a>]</div> Type-C cables can be split among various categories and subcategories. The first one is USB 2.0 or Full-Featured. Like the names imply, USB 2.0 Type-C cables have very limited wires and are only good for USB 2.0 communications and power delivery. They are also called charging cables colloquially. Conversely, Full-Featured cables need to have all wires populated and in general support Alt modes and are further distinguished by their speed rating. Full-Featured cables exist in 4 different speed grades. Their technical names use the "Gen A" notation, each higher number increasing capabilities in terms of bandwidth. The user-facing names are based on the bandwidth a user can typically expect "USB 5Gbps", "USB 20Gbps", "USB 40Gbps" and so on. This bandwidth notation considers the various USB standards and how they use the cable. A Gen 1 / 5 Gbit/s cable supports that bandwidth on every one of its 4 wire pairs. So technically it could be used to establish a USB3 Gen 1x2 connection with nominally 10 Gbit/s between two "SuperSpeed USB 20 Gbps" capable hosts. For a similar reason, the "USB 10Gbps" name is deprecated, as that is using only 2 of the 4 wire-pairs of a Gen 2 cable and thus synonymous with "USB 20Gbps" cables. The signal quality that the "Gen A" notation guarantees or requires is not uniform across all USB standards. See table for details. The USB Implementers Forum certifies valid cables so they can be marked accordingly with the official logos and users can distinguish them from non-compliant products.<a href="#cite_note-USB_cert_2016-12">[12]</a> There have been simplifications in the logos.<a href="#cite_note-13">[13]</a> Previous logos and names also referenced specific USB protocols like SuperSpeed for the USB3 family of connections or USB4 directly. The current official names and logos have removed those references as most full-featured cables can be used for USB4 connections as well as USB3 connections. In order to achieve longer cable lengths, cable variants with active electronics to amplify the signals also exist. The Type-C standard mostly mandates these active cables to behave similar to passive cables with vast backwards compatibility. But they are not mandated to support all possible features and typically have no forward compatibility to future standards. Optical cables are even allowed to further reduce the backwards compatibility. For example, an active cable may not be able to use all high speed wire-pairs in the same direction (as used for DisplayPort connections), but only in the symmetric combinations expected by classic USB connections. Passive cables have no such limitations. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Power_delivery">Power delivery</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=USB-C&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Power delivery">edit</a>]</div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1236090951">.mw-parser-output .hatnote{font-style:italic}.mw-parser-output div.hatnote{padding-left:1.6em;margin-bottom:0.5em}.mw-parser-output .hatnote i{font-style:normal}.mw-parser-output .hatnote+link+.hatnote{margin-top:-0.5em}@media print{body.ns-0 .mw-parser-output .hatnote{display:none!important}}</style><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/USB_Power_Delivery" class="mw-redirect" title="USB Power Delivery">USB Power Delivery</a></div> Every normal USB-C cable must support at least 3 <a href="/wiki/Ampere" title="Ampere">amps</a> of current and up to 20 <a href="/wiki/Voltage" title="Voltage">volts</a> for up to 60 <a href="/wiki/Watt" title="Watt">watts</a> of power according to the USB PD specification.

Connecting legacy and modern, USB-C equipment requires either a legacy cable assembly (a cable with any Type-A or Type-B plug on one end and a Type-C plug on the other) or, in very specific cases, a legacy adapter assembly. An older device can connect to a modern (USB-C) host by using a legacy cable, with a Standard-B, Mini-B, or Micro-B plug on the device end and a USB-C plug on the other. Similarly, a modern device can connect to a legacy host by using a legacy cable with a USB-C plug on the device end and a Standard-A plug on the host end. Legacy adapters with USB-C receptacles are "not defined or allowed" by the specification because they can create "many invalid and potentially unsafe" cable combinations (being any cable assembly with two A ends or two B ends). However, exactly three types of adapter with USB-C plugs are defined: 1. A Standard-A receptacle (for connecting a legacy device (such as a flash drive—not a cable) to a modern host, and supporting up to USB 3.1). 2.

Hence, the source (host) does not require any connection management circuitry, but it lacks the same physical connector so therefore USB-C is not backward compatible. VBUS and GND provide 5 V up to 500 mA of current. However, to connect a USB 2.0/1.1 device to a USB-C host, use of <a href="/wiki/Pull-down_resistor" class="mw-redirect" title="Pull-down resistor">pull-down resistors</a> Rd<a href="#cite_note-77">[63]</a> on the CC pins is required, as the source (host) will not supply VBUS until a connection is detected through the CC pins. This means many USB-A–to–USB-C cables will only work in the A to C direction (connecting to a USB-C devices, e.g. for charging) as they do not include the termination resistors needed to work in the C to A direction (from a USB-C host).

In single-lane mode, only the differential pairs closest to the CC pin are used for data transmission. For dual-lane data transfers, all four differential pairs are in use. The D+/D− link for USB 2.0/1.1 is typically not used when a USB 3.x connection is active, but devices like hubs open simultaneous 2.0 and 3.x uplinks in order to allow operation of both types of devices connected to it. Other devices may have the ability to fall back to 2.0, in case the 3.x connection fails.
