CONNECT MORE with Cable Matters® USB-C™ Chargers
What is USB Type C?
USB-C is the latest version of the common USB (universal serial bus) connector introduced by the USB-IF organization. It uses a compact and reversible, 24-pin connector that fits on thin smartphones and notebooks with Android™, Chrome OS™, Windows® or Mac® operating systems.
USB C ports are found on new release smartphones, computers and tablets for home and business needs. Depending on your equipment, a USB Type-C port can support transferring files, charging, connecting to the Internet or adding an external video display.
How USB C charging works
The USB-IF organization specifies power profiles for safely powering and charging a smartphone, laptop, or other equipment from 7.5 to 100 watts over USB-C. USB C power delivery (PD) communicates in both directions between the host device and the connected equipment and charger.
USB C devices can be charged from:
USB-A or USB-C wall charger
USB-A or USB-C car charger
Host computer with USB C
Docking station or multiport adapter with USB C
Cable Matters offers a product line of car and wall chargers for a smartphone, tablet or computer with USB-C.
Which USB C cables are safe?
