USB-C has been the new standard in the field of USB connections for some time. This is accompanied by some significant improvements for the ubiquitous and long-proven USB interface.
Devices with USB-C are easier to connect; they allow faster charging of mobile devices, higher data transfer rates, and transport non-protocol video and audio data streams.
Those looking for a USB-C cable are sure to find what they are looking for in the extensive selection of all wires. Allekabel.de is the German offshoot of the Allekabels.nl website, which already provides four million customers in the Netherlands with all imaginable cables.
The following article explains how the advantages associated with the new USB standard are structured in detail.

Resistant And Robust
The micro-USB socket on the tablet or smartphone wears out a lot after a while – many owners of mobile devices will know this all too well. This is because the charging cable is often accidentally plugged in the wrong way on the first try. This risk does not exist with the new USB-C connectors because they can be inserted on both sides so that the connection can hardly be damaged.
For this reason, the USB type C socket is much more resistant and robust than the conventional USB type A connection. The type C connections are designed for at least 10,000 piercing processes. This means that the relationship can be used daily for at least 27.4 years.
Maximum Speed
It is ideal if the best data transfer protocol is used with the USB-C connection. USB 3.2 Gen 2 × 2 allows transfer rates of up to 2.5 gigabytes per second. With USB 3.2, the data transfer protocol uses two pairs of wires to work at 10 Gbit per second in each direction.
The maximum speed can usually only be achieved with devices with the designation Superspeed ++ or 20 Gbps. However, lower rates under the designation USB 3.2 are also conceivable – depending on the used device. Therefore, you should always pay attention to the exact technical information of the respective product.
Effective Loading
For several years now, USB has been the universal interface for charging mobile devices for most manufacturers – Apple, for example, is an exception. The USB-C connection is already ubiquitous in tablets and smartphones, so micro-USB is primarily only to be found in the lower price segment.
USB allows maximum power consumption of 7.5 watts during the charging process. However, USB-C can do a lot more. The Type-C devices will enable a current of up to 3 amps at a standard voltage of 5 volts. In this way, up to 15 watts can be made available. In this way, high-performance notebooks can be supplied with new energy, and the charging speed of tablets and smartphones can be significantly reduced. This has a convenient benefit in everyday life.
Extended Range Of Functions
The USB interface is also optimized in terms of its range of functions by Type-C. Video and audio data can also be transmitted via a USB-C connection – even if the charging and data stream are used simultaneously. USB-C supports the Thunderbolt, PCI Express, and DisplayPort transmission protocols. However, it always depends on the device used and its specific capabilities.
