The usb c connector was developed by the usb implementers forum usb if the group of companies.
Usb c power cable pinout.
In july 2016 it was adopted by the iec as iec 62680 1 3.
Usb c formally known as usb type c is a 24 pin usb connector system with a rotationally symmetrical connector.
Usb c is an industry standard connector for transmitting both data and power on a single cable.
The 24 pin double sided connector provides four power ground pairs two differential pairs for usb 2 0 data bus though only one pair is implemented in a usb c cable four pairs for superspeed data bus only two pairs are used in usb 3 1 mode two sideband use pins v conn 5 v power for active cables and a configuration pin for cable.
Usb type c is a usb specification for a small 24 pin reversible plug connector for usb devices and usb cabling.
The usb type c specification 1 0 was published by the usb implementers forum and was finalized in august 2014.
Developed at roughly the same time as the usb 3 1 specification but distinct from it the usb type c specification 1 0 defines a new small reversible plug connector for usb devices.
The usb c is a relatively new standard which aims to provide high speed data transfer up to 10gb s along with power flow capability of up to 100w.
The usb type c specification 1 0 was published by the usb implementers forum usb if and was finalized in august 2014.
Before diving into the pinout and explaining what each is capable of we ll quickly take a high level view of what usb c is and what it s best at.
It was developed at roughly the same time as the usb 3 1 specification.
Communication is full duplex during superspeed.
