How does the USB C cable work?

Usb C Cable is also known as Usb Type C Cable, is a type of USB connector that was developed by the USB Implementers Forum. It is a standard for connecting and charging devices, and it's increasingly being adopted as the main input/output for devices due to its versatility and power.

Here's a basic understanding of how it works:

1. Physical Connection: The Flexible Usb C Cable is reversible, meaning it can be plugged in either way, eliminating the frustration of trying to insert it in the correct orientation. The cable has 24 pins which are symmetrically placed so regardless of the orientation, the right pins will align with the device's port.

2. Data Transfer: USB-C cables can transfer data using various protocols. It supports USB 3.1 which has a data rate of 10Gbps, and also supports other protocols such as DisplayPort and Thunderbolt 3, making it possible to use the same cable to connect to a wide range of devices including monitors, external drives, and even graphics cards.

3. Power Delivery: USB-C cables can deliver power up to 100 Watts at 20 Volts. This makes it possible to charge not only small devices like smartphones and tablets, but also larger devices like laptops and monitors. The amount of power delivered is negotiated between the device and the charger to ensure safe charging.

4. Alternate Modes: USB-C cables support "Alternate Modes", which allow them to carry signals for other types of connections, such as HDMI, DisplayPort, and Thunderbolt. This means that with the right adapter, a USB-C cable can be used to replace many other types of cables.

In a word, the USB-C cable works by providing a physical connection that can be plugged in either way, transferring data at high speeds, delivering power to charge devices, and supporting alternate modes for other types of connections.
