The USB Type-C 1.0, developed around the same time as USB 3.1, introduces a sleek and reversible plug connector for USB devices. This modern connector replaces the traditional Type-B and Type-A connectors and cables, establishing a future-proof standard.
Featuring a 24-pin double-sided connector, it offers four power/ground pairs, high-speed data bus pairs, sideband use pins, and configuration pins for cable orientation detection and VCONN +5 V power. Notably, the Type-C cable implements one differential pair for the USB 2.0 data bus. This innovative design ensures seamless connectivity between hosts and devices.
