<strong>USB</strong> <strong>Type</strong> C- <strong>Simplest</strong>, <strong>Smartest</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Lowest</strong> <strong>Cost</strong><br />

Connecting <strong>and</strong> sharing information between the various devices is an essential part of the<br />

digital world. Communication helps in getting access to specific data or information as well as<br />

to store the information in multiple devices for ensuring its backup.<br />

In case of connection between personal computers <strong>and</strong> other peripheral devices, it also allows<br />

the supply of charge from one device to the other.<br />

<strong>USB</strong> to DH+ is also the part of establishing the connection between two devices. Especially <strong>USB</strong><br />

(Universal Serial Bus) is claimed as the industry st<strong>and</strong>ard that defines cables, connectors, <strong>and</strong><br />

protocols for connection, communication, along with power supply between personal<br />

computers or other such smart devices.<br />

Development of the <strong>USB</strong> over the years:<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

The reason behind the introduction of <strong>USB</strong> was to make it fundamentally easier to<br />

connect devices to PCs.<br />

Earlier the transmission of data was a bit complex with the multitude of connectors at<br />

the back of PCs.<br />

Many versions of <strong>USB</strong> have been launched over the years from <strong>USB</strong> 1.0 with defined<br />

data transfer rates of 1.5 Mbit/slow speed <strong>and</strong> 12 Mbits/s full speed to <strong>USB</strong> 3.2 which<br />

was released in September 2017.<br />

The simplicity <strong>and</strong> low cost of <strong>USB</strong>, when compared with other connection methods such as<br />

FireWire, Ethernet, MIDI, eSATA/eSATAP, <strong>and</strong> thunderbolt, led to its popularity <strong>and</strong> it became<br />

the most commonly used connecting mode.<br />

Thus, <strong>USB</strong> replaced the interfaces such as serial ports <strong>and</strong> parallel ports.<br />

The usage became so common that <strong>USB</strong> also started replacing other types of battery charges<br />

because of its capability of both to communicate <strong>and</strong> to supply electric power.<br />

<strong>USB</strong> -C:<br />

Among the other versions of <strong>USB</strong>, the most widely used <strong>and</strong> smartest version is <strong>USB</strong> -C, also<br />

known as <strong>USB</strong> <strong>Type</strong>-C. Its two-fold rotational - symmetrical connector with 24 pin <strong>USB</strong><br />

connector system makes it portable <strong>and</strong> easy to use.


For connecting to both hosts <strong>and</strong> devices, <strong>USB</strong> -C needs a cable. <strong>USB</strong> cables contain e-marker<br />

chips, which are programmed to identify the cable <strong>and</strong> its current capabilities. They can h<strong>and</strong>le<br />

up to 10 Gbit/s data rate at full duplex. For certifying this, they are marked with superspeed+<br />

logo.<br />

Its increasing usage can also be credited to <strong>USB</strong>-C multiport adapter. This adapter can convert<br />

the device native video stream to DisplayPort/HDMI/VGA thus enabling the viewers to watch it<br />

comfortably on an external display, such as a television set or computer monitor.<br />

This is why nowadays every latest device such as motherboards, notebooks, tablet computers,<br />

smartphones, hard disk devices, <strong>and</strong> <strong>USB</strong> hubs contain <strong>USB</strong> receptacles.<br />

In addition to that <strong>and</strong>roid Marshmallow, Chrome OS, Linux, Windows 10, <strong>and</strong> Windows 10<br />

mobile, which are the software present in almost every device today, also support <strong>and</strong> work<br />

with <strong>USB</strong>-C.<br />

<strong>USB</strong>-C to DH+ networks is possible using a 1784-42dhp cable which is an add-on to the benefits<br />

of <strong>USB</strong>-C.<br />

Owing to the smartness, simplicity, <strong>and</strong> lower cost, <strong>USB</strong>-C is finding its place in many devices<br />

like Apple, HTC, <strong>and</strong> LG. Its multi-usage is making it the best version of this time.
