In recent years, fast charging appliances and fast charging mobile power supply are hot favorites in the market. Anke, Xiaomi and Huawei have been in the fast charging market for many years. Apple, the heir-passed 5V1A charger, has also begun to make efforts in USB PD fast charging above 20W.


Many people's understanding of type-c is limited to the fast charging standard, but you would be wrong. It is very powerful, and can be used for audio and video transfers, firmware updates, private encryption, device intercharging, and more. At present, Google helps USB-IF to incorporate Qualcomm QC, so PD is likely to unify the fast charge standard, and USB-C adapted to PD protocol will be more convenient for people to use.

What is Type-c?
Type-C is also called USB-C interface. Normally, such interface is added with PD fast charge protocol. PD fast charge protocol is one of the mainstream fast charge protocols in the market at present, and is also the most popular fast charge method. USB-C cables with PD fast charging protocol can deliver up to 100 watts of power, so when you buy a type-c cable, you can ask if it's PD.

What functions does the Type-c interface have?
In daily life, the data cable of type-c interface can make all kinds of electronic devices meet the power supply demand and data transmission, and it can use a very wide range of electronic devices. It can not only charge mobile phones and tablets, but also fast charge laptops and other driving devices that cannot be powered by USB in the past. For example, Apple's latest MacBook supports USB Type-C+USBPD to achieve fast charging.

The business value of Type-c
From the technical point of view, the PD protocol of type-C has VDM, that is, the function of user-defined data packets, so that enterprises can freely carry out protocol processing, battery management, firmware upgrade, private encryption and other operations, with high commercial value.

Fast charging standards are expected to be unified
Compared with the traditional data line, the function is very limited. Type-C not only has more powerful charging and data transmission ability, but also has audio and video transmission function. Therefore, Type-C interface will undoubtedly replace the current market interface market. With the help of Google, USB PD has incorporated Qualcomm's QC fast charge agreement and won the support of China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, so the fast charge standard is expected to be unified.

The convenience of Type-c
It allows you to use one line in many ways. No longer cluttered data cables, to meet daily use, you only need a Type-C interface data cable, you can charge most consumer electronics. Computers charge each other, and the current can change direction freely, instead of just going one way. A single USB-C cable connects all electronic devices, monitors, laptops, Switches, PS4, Apple TV, etc., making device interaction easier.
