Small but mighty
The USB Type-C connector is small and compact, making it ideal for the latest laptop and mobile devices. Also, it's conveniently reversible, so you can connect it easily the first time, saving you frustration and possible port damage. But despite its small size, this connector packs a punch.
Very versatile
USB-C is so versatile that it isn't limited to your traditional USB functionality. It can carry other interface types, such as DisplayPort 1.2 and Thunderbolt 3. This means that it can carry up to 10Gbps of data with USB 3.1, or up to 40Gbps with Thunderbolt 3. It can also carry enough power (up to 100W) to charge full-size electronics.
Complete compatibility
An important benefit of USB-C is its backwards compatibility with USB 3.0 and 2.0. It is also the only connector that carries Thunderbolt 3.
