USB Type C (or just USB-C) is a new type of connector that will be a standard for almost all USB cables in the future. It means that you'll only have to buy one type of cable, or does it? USB-C may seem simple, but in reality, there are several different types and varieties with different features, and if you buy the wrong one, it might not work as you expect. USB-C cables can have different "alternate modes" that use other protocols such as displayport, thunderbolt, or even HDMI, but not every USB C cable will have these.

    Joe thanks for trying to simplify the USB c categories. Like you I think the industry should color code the cables and the jacks. I could quite easily see this turning into a hugely confused area for computer and electronic users. And I thought that USB was supposedly trying to make the connectivity issues simpler to use. I'm reminded of the 1980''s when you had to - 1 set dip switches 2- Use special non-standard drivers 3- manually modify autoexec.bat and config.sys files 4- Use only certain pieces of hardware for alleged compatibility 5- use the same memory speed, manufacturer, and manufacturer run to work together.

I’m 78 yrs old, and when I don’t understand something, (like my husband explaining why an automobile in a movie doesn’t make that sound, doesn’t explode that way, then goes into the most minute details of how an engine is built), I smile, and think about shopping while I nod my head and pretend to listen. So, when I realized I’m doing the same thing…can’t keep up…I went shopping. Thank you, though. I know you’re good and I’ve watched you before.

    This was very helpful! Unfortunately, the specification is disappointing for the reasons you mentioned. Trying to diagnose incompatibilities, especially for non-technical people is going to be frustrating. Like many people, I was looking forward to the benefits of the physical change, but I think this makes things worse. It would be nice if one of the device ends informed the user about the cable's capabilities or incompatibilities once plugged in.

    I was so excited that we were moving to a world where every device would have the same universal port that does everything, and I would not have to worry about buying a different cable for each of my devices ever again, but it looks like that’s not the case. And not only that, everything is going to get a lot more complicated now that every cable looks the same, but each has different functions and protocols. Just another example of “if it's too good to be true it probably is.”

    Great video on this confusing mess of a "standard". In a follow up video you might want to mention a quirk where some companies are selling non-standard and possibly harmful (to your electronics) adapter cables on Amazon and elsewhere. I think I've heard someone mention that having the wrong connector type on one end and the USB Type-C on the other might lead to power pins inadvertently leading to data pins or something. Your tech videos are getting better. Good research. :)

    The only gripe I have is in the discussion of power, you completely ignored the different VOLTAGES that the USB-C / Power Delivery supports. It's not just about the Amperage. For example, you mention "3A, 60W up to 5A, 100W." Well, the other side of it is the voltage. If the charger only supports 5 Volts, the absolute maximum power output would be 25W, because 5V * 5A = 25W. And some USB-C cables support higher voltages than others.

    I just switched from a laptop plus monitor set up that I punched about 11 years ago. It was still very functional and all usb A plugs. The new version of the same set up is all usb c so in buying all new cable/plug inventory I ensured every item could transmit 10 gbs, handle at least 65 watts and have braided cables. I didn’t want any cables or plugs that couldn’t do everything. I checked it all and seems good. The Studio display comes with a Thunderbolt cable to connect the M2 Air so I’m sticking to that for the all important data/power link in one cable. I do use a projector for teaching which needs hdmi so I purchased a cable specifically built to connect Usbc to hdmi. This video was very helpful. Thanks.

Honestly, I agree with you that consumers will be just plain confused because of all the different types of power and speed capabilities, not to mention protocols. Anyhow, Seeing that this is such a well put video, did you happen to find any cables that actually support the "best" or most looked features? (I mean ideally, one would want a USB type C cable that is 3.1 Gen 2 [I.e. Full Featured] with USB PD and cables with desired protocols? (like for example, one that has the correct protocol for Hdmi)?

    When I was young, engineers worked on simplifying, ergonomics, one size fits all, etc. Now they make things more complicated and call it advanced! When I was young, I could operate the radio and the AC in my car without looking. Modern cars have touchscreens and menus to scroll through to do the same, making you take your eyes off the road. And they call it advanced technology. USB-C would be a great idea if one cable would work on everything, regardless of speed or function - That would be efficient engineering and give a truly advanced product. Right now I use 5 different USB cables for my various devices which all have different connector types. Devices using USB-C cables should be standardized, so your cellphone cable can be used on your digital camera or your external hard drive, your battery charger or whatever. That would be a true technological advance.

    Backintheday USB was designed to eliminate and supercede parallel ports by going to serial configuration and thus greatly reducing the number of wires needed to perform a function. With USB-C, etc by adding additional wires, the number of choices again sky rockets and the possibility of error is compounded. Greater speed in and of itself means nothing if the wrong functions are being performed.

    Thank you for such an interesting and informative video. I thought all USB-C cables were created equal and had no idea there were so many differences. In a perfect world, we shouldn't have to worry about using the correct USB-C cable if we simply use the cable supplied by the device manufacturer but for some reason those cables fail, especially when they get slammed in a car door or the wheels of an office desk chair continually roll over it. I'll definitely be taking a closer look at the specs before buying my next replacement.

    Yes pretty much only for the exception he gives in the video, the problems of active and passive for using thunderbolt, from what the wikipedia page says using jsut a full featured should be okay for everything. He makes it seem complicated but from the table he gives it seems just using an active cable should be pretty much fine, ergo I don't think what he said at 8:25 was even correct, an active cable should work for everything. also en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB-C#Alternate_Mode_partner_specifications maybe this has since appeared since this video was uploaded, there is going to be symbols denoting what kind of cable they are.

    A standard where you can plug in the wrong cable and blow up your new $1000 gizmo. Or with a little luck, it just won't communicate. Or charge. Or it does, but slower than it should. But you can always plug it in, that's what counts. USB-C. What a mess.

  • @kazedcat

    No it won't blow up anything unless your cable is defective. The connector can identify the capabilities of the cable even if humans can't see it. The most that will happen is it won't work if the cable lack the capability. Basically they give up the old version of different plugs for different function. And just do multiple funtion on one connector that can be cheaper to mass produce. Overtime as manufacturing become cheaper then it will be cheaper for manufacturer to produce one cable with all the function instead of having different production lines for different function. But for now because it is new it is still expensive to unify everything.

    firewire is faster than usb 2.0 and was used during the 2000s because of that. usb 3.0 didnt exist yet until like 2010, and usb 2.0 had a max speed of 480Mbps, while firewire could reach speeds 400-800Mbps. so people liked to use firewire because it was faster. the firewire port looks somewhat like a usb port. just look up the port on images and you’ll see
