USB-C is a connector that can transmit both data and power on a single cable. It has a small, oval shape that can be plugged in either way, unlike previous USB connectors. USB-C can support different speeds and functions depending on the port it is connected to.
For example, some USB-C ports can support USB 4, which is the latest USB standard with faster transfer rates. Some USB-C ports can also support DisplayPort or HDMI, which can send video and audio signals to external monitors or TVs.
USB-C can also deliver more power than older USB connectors, up to a few hundred watts, with a feature called USB Power Delivery. This means that USB-C can charge laptops, phones, and other devices faster and more efficiently.
