Transcend Introduces USB Type-C
Wilson Chen, account manager, North and West Africa Division (Transcend) in an email to our correspondent also introduced the new generation USB connector - USB Type-C described as a hardware change, rather than an interface standard change (like from USB 2.0 to USB 3.0).

Type-C devices are easy to insert, being reversible.
“The symmetrical oval plug, he said, “will replace Type A and B, respectively the rectangular plug found on such things as thumb drives, and that found to connect to power-drawing devices, like cell phones”.

In addition to the capabilities of power charging at up to 100 watts and video output (HDMI/ VGA/ DisplayPort), USB Type-C has two other distinct features that are different from USB Type-A and Type-B connectors.

Orientation and flexibility
First, USB Type-A and Type-B are non-reversible, meaning time wasted ensuring a correct plug-in. Second, they cannot be used cross-platform. But that's all changing, with the future-proof Type C standard marching toward ubiquity.

More flexible, Full Compatibility
With connectors simplified to a single type, USB Type-C allows for cross-platform use, meaning that you only need one cable for both PC and handheld devices.

For example, Transcend JetFlash flash drives and card readers equipped with a USB Type-C connector allow free data transfer among multiple platforms without need to worry about port shapes.

Considering The Interface
It's worth addressing the difference between USB interface standard and connector shape. USB connectors, regardless of type, can run with different USB interfaces, so you will see, for example, a USB Type-A cable running at USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 speeds. A reminder: USB 3.0 can reach its full speed potential only when your device supports USB 3.0 as well.
