A new connector has arrived for computers, peripherals, and mobile devices: the USB-C™ connector. Also known as USB Type-C™, it's much more than just USB! It can consolidate the following functions over a single connector:

  • USB data
  • Universal charging and power
  • External displays with DisplayPort™
  • Other interface types, such as Thunderbolt™ 3

On new laptops, the innovative USB-C connector can replace connectors for Thunderbolt, DisplayPort, proprietary power, and traditional USB.

This allows for smaller, thinner, and lighter devices. Plus the USB-C connector is reversible, meaning that it works no matter which way you plug it in, saving you frustration and possible port damage!

Device manufacturers can choose to implement USB-C in a variety of ways. This can create challenges for IT professionals and end users connecting these new devices in existing environments. StarTech.com can help.

USB-C Enables Exciting New Possibilities

Higher quality displays

  • Experience resolutions beyond 4K with Thunderbolt 3 and DisplayPort over USB-C
  • Connect a computer to dual 4K Ultra HD displays
  • Enable multiple-monitors with a single connector, using MST (Multi-Stream Transport)

Universal charging and power

  • USB-C enabled laptops can be charged via the USB-C port, eliminating the need for proprietary power cords
  • Power and charge any USB-C enabled device with the same cable

Docking with ease

  • Bring all key functions to a device with a single cable: display, charging, power, and data
  • Increase data speed up to 10Gbps with USB 3.1, or up to 40Gbps with Thunderbolt 3
  • Quickly transfer large files with 10GbE peer-to-peer networking over Thunderbolt 3

Designed for the future

  • USB-C currently supports data speeds up to USB 3.1 (10Gbps)
  • Designed to scale as faster data speeds evolve

Thunderbolt 3 and DisplayPort over USB-C

The new USB-C connector is not just for USB connections. It is so versatile that it can carry other interface types, such as Thunderbolt 3 and DisplayPort 1.2, as well as data, power and charging.

Thunderbolt 3 over USB-C is an exciting development because it can deliver more speed and video bandwidth than any other current standard. At 40Gbps, it's four times as fast as USB 3.1 and DisplayPort 1.2. And it includes built-in support for 10GbE peer-to-peer connections, enabling the fastest file transfers and PC migrations, as well as blazing-fast access to data storage.

Support for DisplayPort over USB-C is already showing up in new systems, such as the Apple MacBook and Google Chromebook Pixel. This standard enables top-performance AV, including resolutions of 5K and beyond.
