USB-C is an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power on a single cable. It is a small, reversible, versatile port that transfers data and charges devices at high speeds. USB-C was developed by the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF), a group of industry leaders within the consumer electronics community. The USB-C connector is oval-shaped and slightly thicker than a micro USB connector to accommodate its best feature: flippability. This means that there is no right or wrong way to connect USB-C gadgets. USB-C cables are designed to transmit both power and data, supporting faster charging speeds and higher power delivery. USB-C charging works differently than traditional USB charging, using a different type of cable and port to transfer data and power.

USB-C chargers are used to charge devices that have a USB-C port. They come in different wattages, sizes, and number of ports. USB Power Delivery (USB PD) is a charging protocol that uses high-speed USB-C connectors and cables to allow safe, faster charging and more power for larger devices. USB-C charging is the future of charging technology and is replacing traditional USB ports.
