USB Type C is a specification for a reversible plug connector for USB Devices and Cabling.An important benefit of the USB Type C is that it supports USB4, USB 3.2, 3.1, USB 3.0, USB 2.0 and Thunderbolt Technology.USB Type C ports can support a variety of different protocols using “AlternateModes”, which allows you to output Power, Data and Video Signals and use of adapters that can output HDMI, VGA, DisplayPort or other types of connections from that Single USB port.This allows for future devices to streamline their design to offer multiple output solutions through one singular output.

Developed in the 1990s, USB has become the most successful computing interface yet. The throughput has improved from 1.5Mbps to 40Gbps through standards evolution.

USB Battery Charging technology ensures that one can safely charge mobile devices thru the particular USB Port with Battery Charging Feature support. Previously a USB Portable Device with a battery and charging capability simply took power from a USB port without any control. With “BC 1.2” introduced end 2010, a Portable Device can get more power and the battery can be charged faster. It is important to verify that a Portable Device complies with the BC 1.2 specifications while communicating with a Charging Downstream Port and identifying a Dedicated Charger, and ensuring that it continues to operate as a functional USB device.

Some external devices like for instance a computer Mouse will also need some power from the USB Port to operate. The Default Power that USB 1.0 and 2.0 can deliver is 2.5Watt (5Volt, 0.5A) and USB 3.0 and 3.1 can deliver 4.5Watt (5V, 0.9A), USB3.2 can deliver 7.5W (5V/1.5A) and USB4 can deliver 100Watt .For the more power hungry external devices different technologies were developed. It is important to distinguish 2 different ones; “USB Power Delivery” and “USB Battery Charging”USB Power Delivery(PD): “Power Delivery” works equally well with USB2.0 3.x and 4 and it allows power draw up to 100 Watt from the source device. This power can be transferred at the same time the data is transmitted through the same cable. The intent is to permit uniformly charging for laptops, tablets, USB-powered disks and similarly higher power consumer electronics. Please note that an Active USB Type C Cable with E-Marker Chip, like the Club3D CAC-1522, is recommended when making use of Power Delivery up to 100 Watt, to ensure a safe connection.USB PD “Power Delivery” is defined by different profiles – and it depends on the manufacturer which configuration would be used. 100Watts is delivered in scale as follows.

40GB/s Data Bandwidth | Thunderbolt 3 Compatible | Dynamic Bandwidth Sharing | 100W Power Delivery

• Bandwidth up to 40GBps
• Power Delivery up to 100W 
• E-mark IC 
• Support more protocols, DisplaPort™ and PCI express 
• Type-C cable ONLY 
• Backwards compatible with USB3.2, USB2.0 and Thunderbolt™ 3  (the resulting connection scales to the best mutual capability of the devices being connected.) 
• USB-IF Certified

You might come across bandwidth and data transfer rate being used synonymously. While they are related, they refer to two very different measurements. Here an explanation understanding the differences. The key difference between bandwidth and speed is that the bandwidth is the capacity available for use in data transmission while the speed is the data transferring rate.

Bandwidth Bandwidth is the maximum potential data that can be transferred within a given time. The bandwidth is shared among all users of the bandwidth.

Data Transfer Rate The data transfer rate is the actual amount of data that is passed from one location to another over a given period of time. The most common example is a Link Aggregation where a number of Ethernet connection are bonded into a single interface. The bandwidth is the sum of the total connections but the speed is determined by the physical network connection.
