USB Type-C
Modern charging standard
USB Type-C is a standardized connector for electronic devices, distinguished by its small, oval shape and reversible plug—it works regardless of orientation.
Type-C has become the dominant port for charging smartphones, tablets, laptops, and accessories, gradually replacing older USB formats and proprietary connectors.
The connector supports fast charging and high-speed data transfer: My new laptop only has Type-C ports.
