What's the meaning of the "C" on your USB-C ports?
For a cable that is considered a "universal connector," the trusty USB comes in a staggering array of different shapes and colors.
AI Summary
USB Type‑C is the latest standard that replaces the many different USB connectors. It has a single, symmetrical shape and no color coding, so it can be used with any device that supports the Type‑C interface. The “C” in the name simply identifies this particular form factor, rather than indicating a hidden feature or secret meaning. The standard’s goal is to provide a universal, reversible plug that works across a wide range of devices.
