This article explains the different types of USB-C

The USB-C (also known as USB Type-C) is a new type of USB connector that has been designed to be smaller and more versatile than previous USB connectors. There are several different types of USB-C, including:
 

1. USB-C 3.1: This is the standard version of USB-C and supports data transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbps. It can also be used for charging devices and supports DisplayPort and HDMI video output.

2. USB-C 3.2: This is an updated version of USB-C that supports data transfer speeds of up to 20 Gbps and increased power delivery of up to 100W.

3. Thunderbolt 3: This is a high-speed connection that uses the USB-C connector and supports data transfer speeds of up to 40 Gbps, as well as dual 4K displays, and support for external graphics cards.

4. USB Power Delivery (PD): This is a technology that allows USB-C devices to deliver higher power to charge other devices, up to 100W.

5. USB-C Alternate Modes: These are additional protocols that run over the USB-C connection and allow the transfer of different types of data, such as video (DisplayPort, HDMI), and audio (USB Audio).

It's important to note that not all USB-C ports and cables are created equal, and some may not support all of the features and speeds mentioned above. It is important to check the specifications of your devices and cables to ensure compatibility.
