Lumafield, experts in Industrial CT scanning, focus their X-ray vision on USB-C cables to show us what’s inside. The resulting interactive 3-D scans are incredibly detailed, and it’s absolutely worth your time to click through to view the scans in their Voyager web application.
They look at 4 cables:
USB Power Delivery (USB PD) is a crucial aspect of USB-C technology, allowing for faster charging and increased power delivery capabilities of up to 240 Watts! If you haven't checked out our blog on The USB-C Connection Statemachine, we recommend reading that first. When a USB-C connection is in an attached state, USB PD negotiation occurs between the source and sink devices, allowing for the negotiation of power delivery modes and values.
The Universal Serial Bus (USB) has become an essential component of modern computing, providing a standard interface for a wide range of devices. The latest iteration of USB technology, USB-C, offers several improvements over the previous generation of USB-A ports, including faster data transfer speeds, increased power delivery capabilities, and a reversible connector. Now being, one connector to rule them all, what happens when you plug in a USB-C cable or device? A key change with USB-C is the advent of a connection state machine.
