The USB Implementers Forum on Tuesday launched a faster and reversible USB 3.1 Type-C at the Consumer Electronics Show, 2015 (CES) in Las Vegas.
The CES is seen as an annual electronics event where leaders in the field from across the globe come together to showcase their latest and best technological products.
Not to be left behind, the USB Implementers Forum took the ocassion to showcase a faster and smaller USB, 3.1 Type-C.
The USB 3.1 Type-C is a standard USB like the ones that are available and used today. However, they are faster with an approximate speed of 800 Mbps and smaller - size of a smartphone charger connector.
They are also reversible and can be connected upside down as well, which is not common in the standard USBs.
The USB 3.1 Type-C also has the capability of higher power output up to 100W, and can therefore power laptops via USB cable.
