How to choose the Type-C data cable?

Type-C stands for USB Type-C and is a type of USB interface. Common USB interface types are Type-A, Type-B, Micro-B, etc.

        
Today we are talking about the interface type Type-C which has been widely adopted by the mobile phone industry. Because of its small size, it can be used for both positive and negative insertion. Through the Type-C data cable that meets certain standards, we can make the notebook connection high in the future. Performance graphics card, replace the HDMI and VGA cable connection display with Type-C data cable, etc., people will see the Type-C interface more and more in the electronic device, so the data cable that most people may purchase in the future is Type-C data cable.

Data Transfer: USB is a bus architecture developed by Intel Corporation. Its standard has experienced USB1.0, USB1.1, USB2.0, USB3.0, USB3.1 and so on. Among them, USB2.0 supports a transmission rate of 480Mbps, USB3.0 supports a transmission rate of 5.0Gbps, and USB3.1 supports a transmission rate of 10.0Gbps. Note that Mbps is not equal to MB/S, and the relationship is 1 Mbps = 0.125 MB/S. That is to say, the transmission rate of USB2.0 can theoretically reach 60MB/S, and the transmission rate of USB3.1 can theoretically reach 1.25GB/S. It is also because USB3.1 has such an amazing transmission speed, because it is most likely or has gradually become the transmission standard of the future.

All major mobile phone manufacturers have launched mobile phones with fast charging functions. Whether mobile phones can be quickly charged depends on whether the charging head, data cable and mobile phone all meet the same or compatible fast charging standards. The three must work together. Due to the different fast charging schemes, the US USB-IF organization has introduced the USB PD protocol specification fast charging standard. The USB-PD 3.0 protocol already includes Qualcomm QC 3.0 and 4.0, Huawei’s SCP and FCP, MTK PE3.0. With PE2.0, there is also VOOC for OPPO. It should be noted here that the USB PD protocol specifies that the interface type is a Type-C interface. In other words, the charging line supporting the PD protocol must be Type-C, and the Type-C data line does not necessarily support PD fast charging. The charger supporting PD3.0 protocol has a maximum output power of up to 100W, and the power can be adjusted according to the device. In addition, the charging cable supporting the PD3.0 protocol can support the transmission rate of USB 3.1, and can only support the transmission rate of USB2.0.
