It has a reversible design, meaning you can plug it in either direction, which is not the case with other types of USB connectors. What’s more, USB-C can support higher data transfer speeds (up to 10 Gbps with USB 3.1) and higher output power (up to 100W), making it capable of charging larger devices such as laptops.USB-C also supports several protocols such as HDMI, DisplayPort, and Thunderbolt 3, meaning that with the right adapters, it can be used to connect a variety of different devices.
