What interface is port C?

Port c refers to USB Type-C interface.

USB Type-C, also known as USB-C, is a hardware interface form of universal serial bus (USB). Its biggest feature in appearance is that the upper and lower ends are completely the same, and it is no longer different from Micro-USB.

The USB-C specification 1.0 was released by USB Developers Forum (USB-IF) and completed in August 20 14. Almost the same as USB 3. 1. However, USB-C is just an interface and does not necessarily support USB 3.x or power transmission (USB-C of many mobile phones still uses USB 2.0). Since USB-C specification was released on 20 14, many new 3C devices (such as Android mobile devices, laptops, desktops and even game consoles) have started to use this connection port.

Application of Type-C Interface in Europe

On September 23, 20265438+0, the European Commission said that in order to reduce the inconvenience and unnecessary waste of consumers, it would propose to the European Parliament that electronic devices such as smart phones, tablet computers, digital cameras and game consoles sold in the EU should adopt USB-C interfaces in a unified way and provide a two-year adjustment period.

The European Commission made it clear that this decision was not directed at Apple, which insisted on using Lightning connectors, but the electronic equipment suppliers failed to reach a consensus after ten years of negotiations, so it was necessary to make relevant decisions [8]. The decision will be made in 2022, and by the autumn of 2024 at the latest, all interfaces will be unified into USB Type-C form.
