More Than Just a Letter: The Real Story Behind the 'C' in USB-C
The 'C' in USB-C stands for Type-C, representing the third physical iteration of the Universal Serial Bus connector standard. Developed by the USB Implementers Forum, this reversible design was created to replace the bulky Type-A and Type-B ports. Beyond its convenient shape, USB-C supports advanced features like high-speed data transfer, video output, and significant power delivery, making it the current global standard for unifying device connectivity across smartphones, tablets, and computers.
