Improve ease-of-use for connecting USB devices with a focus on minimizing user confusion regarding plug and cable orientation The USB Type-C Cable and Connector Specification defines a new receptacle, plug, cable and sensing mechanism that complies with current USB interface electrical and functional specifications.

This specification covers the following aspects required to use and manufacture this new USB cable/connector solution on newer platforms and devices: and interoperability with existing platforms and devices:

• USB Type-C slots, including electromechanical description and performance requirements;
• USB Type-C plugs and cable assemblies, including electromechanical definition and performance requirements;
• USB Type-C assemblies and adapters to legacy cable;
• USB Type-C-based device detection and interface configuration, including support for legacy connections;
• Optimized USB Power Delivery for USB Type-C connector.

With the continued success of the USB interface, there is a need to adapt USB technology to serve new computing platforms and devices moving towards smaller, thinner and lighter form factors. Many of these new platforms and devices reach a point where existing USB sockets and plugs hinder innovation, especially given the relatively large size and internal volume constraints of the Standard-A and Standard-B versions of USB connectors.

In addition, as platform usage models have evolved, usability and robustness requirements have evolved, and the current USB connector set was not originally designed for some of these new requirements. This specification is meant to create a new ecosystem of USB connectors that meet the evolving needs of platforms and devices while maintaining all the functional benefits of USB that underpins these most popular computing device interconnects.
