Not all USB-C cables are the same: this is how they can be differentiated

It is normal not to carry the cell phone charger everywhere and that is why many ask for a cable USB-C anyone to charge your phone. However, this element has many internal differences that will now be easier to identify.

The arrival of these cables standardized the charging ports of most phones, although not many users know the variants that exist and that is why a new form of distinction will be included in the packages so that people can differentiate them if they need to buy an additional one. or new.

Differences between USB-C cables

The variants in these elements are according to the charging speed and of data transmission, although there are some that are only used for charging. These characteristics are important to take into account when buying a new one, because it is best to opt for one that is similar to the one that came from the factory with the phone or device.

Cables will now have badges so users don't have trouble selecting them.

For that, the cable boxes will have a label, which will allow differentiating the data transmission speed, which can be 80Gbps, 40Gbps, 20Gbps and 5 Gbps. As well as the load ones that are two: 240 W or 60 W.

There will be five types of cables, each one with its distinctive logo, according to the technical characteristics they reach for the user to differentiate them.

Within the decisions made by those in charge of the organization USB, I know suggests that these logos appear on the cables, so that after purchase people will distinguish them if they no longer have the box.

Also, on host products and devices like laptops and portable hard drives, the ‘Certified USB’ logo appears with speed designations like ’40 Gbps’ to make things easier for users.

In addition, these changes will only apply to USB-C and not to USB-A, which are the traditional ones and many devices are still using them.

The badges do not appear on the cables either. Thunderbolt that, although they are USB-C, they have another logo to differentiate themselves, such as the lightning bolt on the header of the connector.

This is not the first time USB has had to include this kind of clarification. Since 2020, changes began after the arrival of technology super speed one time ago, which expanded the catalog of options, confusing consumers.

Modifications that were eliminated in 2021 for the same reasons and the distinctions were chosen according to the speed of loading and data transmission, which a year later was simplified into logos and that will now be included in the boxes.
