Next Generation USB Type-C, More Data Speed More Power

USB Type-C

USB Type-C (USB 3.1) is a new standard port in computer industry for data transfer. This port is able to transfer data up to 10 Gbps. USB cables Type C is also capable of transferring power to 20 volts and 5 amperes but previous USB type (USB 2.0) only 5 volts and 1.8 amperes, it means that the battery recharging time will be faster. USB Type-C developed to replace all previous USB generations, the design is quite slim so there are no needs to be developed into a mini or micro variants. Port and connector Type-C has the same size as the USB Micro-B. Port Type-C measuring only 8.4mm and 2.6mm, this means it’s very small and very adequate for small devices.

Both port points have the same function as output and input devices. Different with previous version, USB type-C is also no longer have the constraint will be installed upside down, so this connector more user friendly when installing the USB cable to the hole that are difficult to reach, without having to peek at the correct position. USB type C Cables will be more intelligent, because it is supported by a circuit to inform the data path or where the electrical energy that must be adopted, like Thunderbolt connector / Lightning Apple. USB Type-C will use the latest standard version 3.1, but still supports with previous-generation USB port that can be connected via a special adapter.

USB Type-C enable storage vendors to make bus-powered (does not require power adapter) to the external hard drive larger capacity because it can provide enough power to run one or even several desktop hard drive. USB Type-C also allows for two-way power, so in addition charging peripheral devices. If possible, peripheral devices can also be used to charge the device host for example; you can charge your notebook via plug-in adapter to USB Type-C port. In short, you can do anything with a power adapter and a USB cable. USB Type-C are drastic also reduces the number of cables needed to make the device work.

USB Type-C and USB 3.1 is not compatibility with USB 3.0 and USB 2.0. In original connection USB Type-C, ports and plugs Type-A is not required. However, for backward compatibility, you can find it on cable Type-A to Type-C. Of all that, there should be a host adapter and a Type C devices that make it work with existing USB. This is the first time need a USB adapter, and the only possibility at this time, at least not talk about the future. USB Implementers Forum, the group responsible for USB developer, says that USB Type-C is designed for the future, because this USB version is much faster.

 USB Type-C Top Feature

1. More easy to plugin without peak correct position because its have same shape point to point.
2. More Faster data transfer Up To 10 GBps
3. More Power to transfer Upto 100W and 20 Vol, so you don't need charging port for notebook
4. Small size to implemented n to slim devices

USB Type-C might take longer to be popular like USB Type-A, but it was inevitable given the many advantages are obtained. Next generation premium Smartphone such as Galaxy S7 and Iphone 6S have been announce will implemented this USB Type-C.  Because people like slim device but powerful, USB Type-C is very unreliable.
