It may have a rubbish name, but ‘USB Type-C’ is the most important technology to hit the tech space in years. With it comes so much speed, convenience and power that our gadgets will never be the same again. What’s more Type-C will launch before the end of the year and mass adoption should begin as soon as early 2015.

Speed
USB Type-C can go as fast as any USB standard and it will launch with compliancy for ‘USB 3.1’. This generational jump doubles the performance of USB 3.0 from 5Gbps to 10Gbps (equivalent to 1,250 megabytes per second). The latest version of Intel Thunderbolt (used on Macs but still rare on PCs) can manage 20Gbps, but the difference will matter little for the vast majority of users.

Power
USB Type-C will also be compliant with the second major advancement of USB 3.1: vastly more power. Whereas USB 2.0 can handle current of up to 500 milliamps (mA) for up to 2.5W of power and USB 3.0 upped that to 900mA for up to 4.5W of power, USB 3.1 can offer 5 amps (5000mA) and up to 100W of power.
To put this in perspective, a typical 15.4-inch laptop will consume around 60-65 watts on average. This means not only will devices charge far faster, but almost anything can be powered via USB 3.1 and the tiny USB Type-C connector. Consequently printers, monitors, speakers and even laptops could all be powered from a desktop PC and laptops themselves could dump their wide array of incompatible barrel chargers for a single USB Type-C connector which would double as an extra port when not charging.
