A new connector has arrived for workstations, peripherals, and mobile devices: USB-C™, also known as USB Type-C™. It can consolidate the following functions over a single connector:

• USB data
• Universal charging and power
• External displays with DisplayPort™
• Other interface types, such as Thunderbolt™ 3

On new laptops, the innovative USB-C connector can replace connectors for Thunderbolt, DisplayPort, proprietary power, and traditional USB.
