For the needs of data exchange, T electronic devices provide USB interfaces, whether it is a PC, a tablet, a mobile phone or even a display device. Almost without exception, there are USB interfaces. However, due to the limitations of technical standards, the USB plug has “directionality”. If the direction is wrong when inserted, it will either fail to insert or the interface or connector will be damaged. Under this circumstance, Apple designed the Lightning [4] interface for its device. Since it can be inserted in both directions, users no longer have to worry about plugging errors. In addition to Apple devices, the T industry has also introduced a similar interface standard: USB Type-C.
The wave of USB Type-C was first led by Apple, and the advent of the new macBook will bring USB Type-c. This powerful technology is brought into our vision. USB Type-C is an interface specification, which consists of Type-C plug and Type-C socket. Among various mobile devices and PCs, Type-C has become the most promising data interface. With the gradual maturity of Tpe-C technology, various newly-listed electronic products in 2017 also chose to configure full Type-C interfaces.
In fact, the most intuitive advantage of Type-C is that it allows you to completely get rid of the trouble of plugging in. Its inherently excellent front and back pluggable interface design will no longer appear to be damaged by incorrect plugging or mistakes. More importantly, the Type-C interface has strong compatibility, so it has become a standardized interface that can connect to PCs, game consoles, smart phones, storage devices and all electronic devices such as expansion, and realizes the unification of data transmission and power supply. For example, The two display devices are closely combined and used through a Type-C cable.
In addition, Type-C also supports the USB3.1 standard. The maximum power supply of this standard is 100W, and the voltage and current will be increased; the coding consumption is reduced, from 20% of 3.0 to 3%. In other words, users can quickly transfer data and video through Type-C, or charge faster. The standard also allows users to charge other devices with their mobile phones. As for the display, when using Type-C for data transmission, there is no need to use another power cord to power the display, which solves the problem of messy desktop cables. Even the relatively high-end HDMI and DP interfaces cannot be used.
