WHY USB 3.1 TYPE C IS SO GOOD?

 As a professional manufacturer of cables, UNITE CABLE ENTERPRISE CO,.LTD is producing the USB 3.1 Type-C cable that will surely be used by most people in the world in the next couple of years. After showing in CES 2015, USB 3.1type-C has been so popular. Let us see what USB 3.1 Type-C can do for us.

With Type-C, a USB cable's both ends will be the same, allowing for reversible plug orientation. You also don't need to worry about plugging it in upside down.

Set to be widely available starting 2015, Type-C USB will support USB 3.1 with the top speed of 10Gbps and has much high power output of up to 20V(100W) and 5A. Considering most 15-inch notebook computers require just around 60W of power, this means in the future laptop computers can be charged the way tablets and smartphones are now, via their little USB port. In fact Apple's latest 12 inch macbook is the first notebook that incorporates a Type-C USB as its power port.

Type-C USB also allows for bi-directional power, so apart from charging the peripheral device, when applicable, a peripheral device could also charge a host device. All this means you can do away with an array of proprietary power adapters and USB cables, and move to a single robust and tiny solution that works for all devices. Type-C USB will significantly cut down the amount of wires currently needed to make devices work.

Products using either the Type-C connector, the USB 3.1 spec, or both are already floating around CES—there's the Nokia N1 Android tablet on the mobile side, and MSI's new USB 3.1 laptop and motherboard on the PC side. By the end of the year, more mainstream products may take up the standard as well.
